Siva Prayojan as I'm called as an artist is - 'Diverse Electronic music ' ranging from Melodic, Progressive, Techno to Drum and bass. I started this project in 2021 and my first release was on Differed records. I don't try and follow mainstream sounds and my work always includes that hint of vague experimental leads or basses. I feel listeners should think of every track of mine as a memorable journey (and I'm grateful that they do feel the same!) Until date my various EP's and singles have been a range of emotions out of which my track ' KAAL' (Released in 2022) seems to have been on most playlists. I play and perform LIVE acts using hardware synths and Sequencers and my last live performance was at the Echoes of Earth Festival where i did the closing set. Apart from releases on labels worldwide like Pursuit, Laika, Inu musika, Music4aliens, Creatus Flow,
2023 is pretty exciting as My Upcoming EPs are releasing on Natura viva (Spain) and Dub fire's label Sci+Tec! Also, as LIVE acts are increasingly being encouraged in India nowadays, I'm really looking forward to my upcoming gigs all over India and hopefully abroad.

Bio

Blessing, Chance, Fate: Many words could be used to accentuate the occasions life affords where fascination is undeniable. In one such instance when Delika decided to quit her aviation job after a decade of flying around the world, it could have been just a happy coincidence were it not for the time and trajectory factors that landed her a job at an electronic music studio.
She fell in love with the novelty that electronic music represented in the ‘90s during her formative years and inevitably surrendered to musical expeditions during her travels, discovering her artistic runway on a solo trip to Berlin in 2018. Swiftly soaring through clouds of deep, driving, inter-dimensional techno soundscapes that contrasted to the hustle and bustle of her occupation, she was seeking to rebuild a career dedicated to music. Behind the booth she’s no stranger to a quality bill whether it is opening, prime-time, or afters, Delika’s intuition for the crowd and location, proves each time again that she lives for her profession. Her track selection is both distinctly ambitious and refreshing, fuelled with progression and energy. She reinforces the abiding importance between melodies and rhythm throughout the perpetual cycle of trends, placing her at the forefront of a new generation of artists. Despite these references, her musical caliber is best described by her strong independent, spiritual and curious persona.
Operating out of Bangalore in India since 2018 her relentless work ethic continues today, striving to develop and deepen her sound, splitting her time between a day job at Beatworx Studio and playing across the country. Not content to sit on her laurels, she is pursuing her studies in music production and hopes to bring about her interpretation of trippy and groovy techno rhythms to mesmerize the subconscious mind.
