Bangalore-based musician Rumit Virmani a.k.a @Kampai  is an electronic artist whose music has a heavy emphasis influences on bass culture. A trap enthusiast Kampai’s quirky style also stretches across genres such as Jersey club, Twerk, Drum and Bass and Footwork. He’s experimental sound pushes the boundaries of the Indian EDM scene and he finds new inspiration in every new sound and genre.
He’s shared the stage with the likes of Herobust (USA), Ganz (Netherlands), Slugabed (UK), Chimpo (UK) and Epic Empire (France) and has performed at every noteworthy venue and festival across the country. Aside from music, he has also been hard at work advancing the Indian music scene as the Culture Manager at Social Offline introducing properties such as BASSICK Sense and The Grind. He also played the role of founder to the music collective Hybrid Cycle in 2015 which is now a partner at India’s exclusive bass music festival, Hidden Shades.
He music is influenced by artists across the board including Rustie, AWE, Hudson Mohawke, Dub Phizix, Flume, Graves and BeauDamian to name a few. The full list spans into the hundreds but no matter how many people have inspired him, Kampai manages to be a true original every time he takes the stage.

What he has to say about it: These are the sounds I have been digging at the moment, it ranges all the way from 130bpm to 180bpm, most of them being sub bass music genres like Trap, Future beats, Grime, Footwork and D&B. This mix also features Indian artists like Oceantied and Sickflip. I am also listening to a lot of 4 to the floor-centric music recently but still wanted to make a bass heavy set just for the HG peeps.

HG Sessions 012 | Kampai

Spryk, Tejas Nair’s electronic music and art exploration project, is transcending all boundaries forged within the world of music. His work is largely home to a unique brand of bass music that sets the tone for the nature of art installations that are alongside. However, he is not restrictive in the genres he explores, and it is the multiverse nature of his sets that have got him to play alongside UK grime legend Swindle and Portuguese producer Holly at India’s cutting edge electronica venues.

2016 was a big year for Spryk, what with the release of his debut EP “Slow Fast” on the New York based label, High Chai Recordings. He also went on to design the soundscape, and contributed vastly towards the musical score of India’s first full length feature AAA Video Game “Antariksha Sanchar”. In the same year, Spryk launched BEYOND | WITHIN - a virtual reality AV experience in association with Tesselate Studio, which was showcased at Magnetic Fields Festival in Rajasthan.

With all this in the making, it was about time Spryk created an HG session that is an embodiment of his own musical journey. He says, “I’ve recently been exploring the heavier halftime side of Bass music and have been really enjoying it. This set features some of my favourite producers at the moment and will give you taste of what to expect at my DJ sets.”
