As a teenager, Dada was inspired to play guitar after attending a Dick Dale concert in Calcutta. Years later, he discovered that the Dale who appeared at the show was actually an impersonator. Nevertheless, Dada's love for wailing licks and fat grooves remained. The songs from this release tell of a fragmented world, through a melange of surf rock, funk and seventies' Bollywood vibes. “Sabka Malik Ek” riffs off of a popular spiritual hymn, to explore the idea of subservience to a “master”,  while “Sthithi” mourns the rise of hate in India. In the absence of concrete answers to these existential dilemmas, one can only dance. The tracks were produced by Polish instrumentalist and producer Alex Makowski.

Dada is an outsider, a troubadour without a driver's license, an observer of all things human. With a smirk on his face, he’s always on the run from the law. He lives without a past or passport, and rumors say his ancestors were wandering minstrel-herdsmen. Like from another star, he roams our modern world with a guitar, making our short stay on this planet a little funkier.
