ARTIST BIO :

Throughout her teens, tonkatsukitty battled between wanting to dance and wanting to make
others dance. She eventually surrendered to the dancefloor until she realised it was very much possible to do both.
Ever since, she's been on a journey to take revenge on those who never let her keep the aux.
A budding DJ with way too many "favourite genres", she often resorts to a deeply comforting zone of deep, dreamy but always uplifting sounds - be it house, disco, trance, breaks, DnB, progressive rock or metal. 
All she aspires to do is make people feel music the way she always has and maybe just cry a little in the club.
 
Mood behind the mix:
Channelled Bangalore’s grey skies and turned it into this assortment of tracks that cover house, deep house, minimal tech and just a sprinkling of breaks. 
Ideal for that solo bedroom dance sesh or a cosy gathering in someone’s crowded living room.

ARTIST BIO :

Every story has a beginning and Roan Sable’s story began behind a DJ booth at the age of 15. He wasn't headlining. He wasn't an artist yet. He wasn't even supposed to be there. Having been snuck into the party by an older cousin, he found himself lost in the music and not the crowd.
About a decade and a full circle later, Roan’s back in the same spot, except tables have turned. Armed with an education in Sound Engineering from SAE, now an established DJ/Producer who has been heavily active in the Indian underground music scene since 2014.
Roan Sable's is heavily influenced by artists like Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Apollonia, Marco Carola and The Martinez Brothers. Comfortably navigating both day time open air gigs with funky old school house/disco to more intense night time club/warehouse gigs with the deeper/darker shades of house music, he is focused on locking the crowd in his groove.
In 2022, along with long time collaborator 'Obscure', he launched 'House Arrest', a concept night that focuses on promoting House + Disco music in India.

FUNK'N AROUND RADIO 0011 - ROAN SABLE

As a tag team digging through their combined vinyl collection, Unnayanaa and Hamza Rahimtula have been bringing the house down. Anyone who has danced captivated to one of their back-to-back sets this year, in any of the go-to local haunts that the pair is making its way through, knows that that metophorical statement isn't a hollow praise.

After connecting at AQI (the multi-day event hosted by Hamza's Windhorse Records and Warehouse Mix), the two of India's most long-standing and deepest purveyors of house music tapped into a synergy that should have been obvious.

As such, their formidable 3-hour Wild City mix, which captures the pair's recent visit to Bangalore's Indiranagar Social, is a full mapping of house music's DNA. Genre staples like Ron Trent, Kerri Chandler and Louie Vega connect easily with the disco lineage of Dinosaur L and Sister Power while the African and Latin-rooted rhythms of the likes Africanism and Jafrosax provides a percussive throughline to the genre's legacy and influences across continents.

Delivered with a puristic sense of craft using only vinyl selections coming together over a rotary mixing, Hamza and Unnayanaa still bring a showmanship to the mix which times its exchange of rhythmic breaks and singalong beltings, almost using the records to communicate with the audience in a very literal manner. Then almost like an epilogue or a tantalizing post-credit section, the upbeat sets gradually shifts via grittier beats into a leftfield comedown in its final 15 minutes.
