The album title came from a phone conversation with my Mum who features on the track "Work & Roti" reflecting on first generation Punjabis travelling to the UK but only “going to work and eating roti,” not getting a chance to travel until their senior years…

'Work & Roti' out now on Sangha Industries

Samrai links up with British-Jamaican Thai-Chi Rosè (a member of Nadia Rose's SKWOD crew)for "Dirty Dirty"  who brings their sultry "new nostalgia" flavour to the cut over blissed out pads, subs and arpeggiated synths.

SANGHA003 is the third taster from my debut album "Work & Roti." Following the experimentation of Oil Money & the bubbling pressure of double A-side Create Your Own Bless/Dirty Dirty this single brings soulful release & South Asian percussion to the fore.

On this one I've had the pleasure of collaborating with talented vocalist Chesqua (@chesqua-sings) & renowned South Indian Mridanga player Deepikaa Sreenivasan for a tune that sheds skin feeling like a release from the experiences that can cloud our sunnier days. Visual shot & directed by Pranav Saji Krishnan.

Samrai, SCAPA, Vindya - Work & Roti

My first solo release under the name "Samrai" since 2016 linking up with amazing talents LINTD and Raheel Khan on the new imprint - Sangha Industries. 
 
This single digs into the pressures of being turned into blood, sweat and grease for profit as well as exploring the triumph over such petty deaths. 

Sonically its minimal yet maximal with synths, sublow bass, drum machines and staccato tabla tones (from Vikaash), giving space for LINTD's evocative vocals.

"Create Your Own Bless" finds Samrai linking up with longtime family Fox, well loved for their depth and versatility as an artist (working with the likes of Lenzman, IAMDDB, Tyler Daley, Zed Bias & Equiknoxx), on a warm, celebratory groover involving tabla, kalimbas and shimmering keys.
