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.

A few months later Anurag visited Pawas' previous Studio in Cologne to record, where Sarang, Tandav and Bhoop were born. Even though the creation had happened, they felt it wasn't the right time to put it out there just yet. However, time flew by and after almost 14 years of waiting, the men came back to what they had created and decided it was now the time to release it.

The title track “Sarang” is inspired by raga Brindavani Sarang, where Anurag infuses the romantic and mystical flavour of this raga with his flute and Pawas brings his deep repertoire of electronic grooves and atmospheric sounds to create an intelligent track that touches the listeners.

Svara is inspired by raga Hansadhwani (translated ‘svan song’ or ‘sound of swan’) is an endearing melange of Indian classical and house music.

Tandav is a high energy track based on a variation of Sarang raga. With Pawas’ in-depth knowledge of both Indian classical percussion and electronic music….. This track combines multiple rhythmic layers manifesting in one exhilarating track that is filled with polyrhythmic cadence and interludes.

Bhoop is melancholy and nostalgia infused into one melodious offering inspired by raga Boopali laid over
a bed of organic drums and bass.

The Feel:

Svara is falling in love, the feeling you get when you are walking after that first wonderful date, smile on your face and so much anticipation and joy in the heart for all that excitement that is about to come.

Sarang is being in love, when you start to experience all those emotions you didn’t know even existed inside your heart. It is a complete journey.

Bhoop has a tinge of melancholy, longing and missing each other , while Taandav is coming back together after a long time away from each other. Re-discovering each other and re-experiencing all those emotions at an even deeper level and celebrating the togetherness, be it in friendship or relationship.

Non solo is first in its kind to bring the melodious/musical depth inspired by the raga traditions to the exhilarating rhythmic world of deep house and electronica.

Soble - An International Language (Exei Remix)

Uphill is about finding a glimmer of hope when drenched in despair. Making it above the treeline can feel impossible at the bottom of the hill, but once you’ve arrived, the view is more than worth it. But before you get bored and lost in contemplation, it’s time to do it all over again.

"The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." - Albert Camus

Somewhere on a quiet Greek island, in a house filled with memories, Boatman wrote Nina’s Childhood. It wasn’t planned, just something the place pulled out of him. Kids laughing, waves rolling in—it had the bones of something real. Moodfamily heard it and knew it had to be heard.

Space Love Transit isn’t just an EP, it’s a passage. A soundscape of change, of leaving and arriving, of finding something or losing it all over again. Boatman, who’s played everywhere from Tomorrowland to Garbicz to underground hideouts, doesn’t make music for categories. He makes it for people who feel.

In a new series of works coming out of AMyn’s basement, the third entry is yet another reflection of his skills and ear for evocative and mesmerising sounds. “Everything As In Will” brings a soft fragile journey centred around an emotive and hopeful theme. It blends melancholy with an odd minimal groove effortlessly resulting in a memorable soothing listen. AMyn always strives to push the boundaries of electronic music with unique sound design woven into a musical idea. Catchy yet subdued, approachable yet underground.

PREMIERE: Kirill Matveev - Nanny In Leningrad (Original Mix) [MixCult Records]

Pawas Gupta (known professionally as Pawas) is an Indian-born DJ and electronic music producer based in Berlin. With a classical foundation, particularly training on the tabla and self-taught skills in percussion, bass guitar, and keyboards, he began his DJ career in India at age 17. In 2004, he relocated to Europe, rapidly establishing himself in Germany’s electronic scene.

Transitioning into music production, Pawas made a strong entry in 2007 with the release "Katang" . Since then, he’s released popular tracks like Det (with Daso), Playtex EP, Bummelzug, Piano Rain, Naja (with Arooj Aftab) and Camel blues, on respected labels including Spectral Sound, Connaisseur, Squonk, Get Physical and Night Drive Music. Many of these have been supported by heavyweights such as Dubfire, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Marc Romboy, Jimpster, and Satoshi Tomiie. 

His signature sound fuses melodies, musicianship, atmospheric textures, deep house, and Detroit-influenced grooves—what he calls intelligent house. Pawas’s musical journey bridges his roots in classical Indian music with his experiences as an independent producer in Germany
