About Non Solo: 

A tale of two Indians recorded in Cologne, Stockholm & Berlin.

Anurag Choudhary & Pawas Gupta are Non Solo. 

Friends from more than two decades, these gentlemen decided to bring together their knowledge of music at Anurag's apartment in Stockholm back in 2008. Anurag’s life journey took him to Stockholm, Sweden and Pawas’ culminated in Berlin, Germany; both cities a cultural and a musical powerhouse in their own right.  Anurag, a professionally trained Flautist (bamboo Flute or “Bansuri”) in the traditional Hindustani Classical Music and Pawas, someone who has been exploring the realms of electronic music since 1997 as a DJ  and releasing records under different monikers since 2007 decided to bring in their forces on a gloomy Stockholm afternoon. 

You may ask, why Non Solo? Well, for obvious reasons! 

In traditional Indian classical music you are trained as a soloist, mastering a single instrument and each instrumentalist has a deep understanding of the common syntax and rules of engagement that produce some brilliant duets. Both Anurag and Pawas have been pursuing their solo music careers and mastering their craft. However, ‘Non solo’ brought these two (soloists) together to collaborate on something that has not been done before in this way so two soloists coming together and forming NON SOLO.

It all started over a “Fika” which translates to “ a concept, a state of mind, an attitude and an important part of Swedish culture. Many Swedes consider that it is almost essential to make time for fika every day. It means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a little something to eat” in Anurag’s favourite Cafe, not to forget his exquisite palette for Coffee

Recording from Heinz Hopper, Kater Blau (Aug 2022)

It's the time of the year in germany when some love it and some of us are struggling to cope with the change of weather. mentally & physically. For a smoother transition i have put together a few of my recent findings via Soundcloud weekly (highly recommended) and radio (yes very old school, but it is still the best medium to discover music) So if you are feeling the autumn blues, turn this mix on, it will at least distract you for about 2 hours

Fall Mixtape 2022

Next up from Fear of Flying we have Pawas, originally from India and now based in Cologne. Pawas is currently in a bit of a groove on the production front with releases on Adam Krolls excellent Squonk label and also with an ep forthcoming on Germanys Flash records with good friend Daso. Title track >Playtex< is a twisting and turning groove through the deeper echelons of minimalism, very fx heavy with wibbles, whooshs and tripped out noises aplenty. One for the >hazy< moments on the dance floor with its hypnotic groove bound to lock them in until the early hours. >Nylon< delivers a summertime injection in the form of an upliftingslice of niceness...

A random Thursday morning wake and spin session with a few of my favorite records...best way to start the day !!!

DJ Mix Jan 2024

Following a series of Indie dance hits alongside his sister Sitara and soulful collaborations with Anurag Choudhary as Non-Solo last year, Pawas joins these diverse talents for a riveting and fresh musical journey in "Take Control." 

The creative sibling duo Pawas and Sitara have been honing their musical prowess over time, with 2021 marking their official debut as a collective. On Take Control, Sitara's playful yet profound lyricism effortlessly dances with Pawas' rhythmic grooves and Anurag's melancholic flute melodies, culminating in a nostalgic masterpiece.

The track transcends the realm of a mere song; it's a dreamy and heartfelt journey that strikes a chord on a personal level. The track's emotive qualities touch upon universal themes, creating a sweet and relatable experience for anyone who listens.

Berlin-based artist and founding member of the avant-garde kraut-jazz band C.A.R., Johannes Klingebiel, takes the helm on remix duties. Klingebiel's unique touch transforms the original track, offering different accessibility and unlocking doors to the infinite

Truly beautiful deep house records are things to be treasured, akin to proper songs that will last the test of time, not made to meet a fleeting fad. This is one of those records and a real pinnacle & departure for BLM & Pawas. Patrice Scott liked the track so much that he agreed to remix it - his first ever outside of his own, excellent, Sistrum label. Using plenty of the original track parts but taking it a different direction, Patrice really has come up with something special. The track moves along with snippets of the main vocal and clever use of the main synth, the groove being underpinned by Patrice’s classic sense of production before moving into a more classic ‘Detroit’ ending - a mindset with a bigger, more dramatic sensibility.

Quote from Jus-Ed ” Waiting Game” is going to be in the top 20 tracks for 2010! I’ve been playing the song for almost a year now all over Europe,UK and U.S.A “

Det - Daso & Pawas (Spectral sound)

Biotop proudly welcomes Indian ambassador Pawas back to the label. One year after his acclaimed Versus Vol.1 EP, he’s back with the follow-up, Versus Vol.2 - this time accompanied by two very good friends.

Pawas kicks off the EP with Else, inspired by the open air club of the same name run by Berlin’s Wilde Renate crew. After a few hours dancing the day away with his favourite DJs, Pawas felt a strong wave of motivation and followed it straight into his studio - located in the Renate building just across the Elsen bridge - to write the song.

For the second track, Pawas teamed up with another precious Biotop artist: Mastra. Their track together, In Your Love, is a very special tune, with every musical element played live by the duo at Mastra’s analog cave in Bern, Switzerland. The final gem, Musk, delights with its disco influences, produced by Pawas and his Indian friend Gokul Rao Kadam in Bangalore, India.

Versus Vol. 2 will be released in October 2017, complete with mastering by Werner Niedermeier and a lovely cover design by Anina. For more information: www.biotop-label.net

EP release date:
16 October 2017
