Rohan Hastak started making music the traditional way – on a guitar, as part of a live band called ‘Kuru’ while he was based in Canada. But his musical identity now as Big City Harmonics is anything but traditional - inspired by pioneers of contemporary electronica such as Four Tet and Nightmares on Wax, the musician released his beat driven debut EP, called Foreword to hugely positive reviews last year.

A bit like his own music which tends to rest in the zone that lies between uptempo dance and bedroom listening, Rohan Hastak’s mix is difficult to define, but unsurprisingly high on quality.

He begins his assembly on an unusual note, layering Allen Ginsberg’s reflective poem - ‘The Sunflower Sutra’ over the atmospheric plinks of Air’s ‘Alone In Kyoto’. Hastak’s little patchwork tapestry of sound includes some familiar top-notch electronica acts ranging from Boards of Canada and Little Dragon to Nosaj Thing, Brian Eno and homegrown talent, Dualist Inquiry. His interpretation of Flying Lotus’s ‘Camel’ layered over his own track – ‘The Thickness’ is particularly impressive.

Big City Harmonic's unhurries, yet complex mix is an absolute treat for lovers of contemporary sound, best appreciated with headphones on. Comes highly recommended.

The origin of the track, lies with Mohit developing  the intention of resolving internal conflict. Conflict based within an artistic identity dealing with finding one's true calling. His thought was that although intense practice and training can lead to accomplishments, they lead in most cases in creating a larger picture on one's life's true aspirations. In his mind, this song represents the philosophy of an accomplished artist who's not driven by his/her achievements. The artist is always looking to evolve, because the ideal exists in the distance, never to be reached. Hence the journey the artist undertakes  provides a spiritual spiritual and that of being one with god. 


"This idea came to me as I met an old friend of mine and offered her some advice as she is going through the same mixed emotions of an identity crisis as an artist. The only one person I can correlate the current scenario to is a man who has shaped contemporary and post modern music, John Coltrane. Being such an accomplished musician in his field he was never content with himself. And in the process of wanting to achieve greatness/nirvana, he set milestones and trends which could only be matched by a few. In my opinion people with conflicting mentalities (conflict between ambition and idealism) are the one's who really mould and affect culture and the people around them. Success comes to these people and they are never satisfied, sometimes depressed, but this is not a result of greed or wanting social validation, it is because they see themselves as a bigger person and always wish for more."

Color Doesn't Mean Much

He could hardly stand the solitude any longer; the inertia, the still life. Reminiscing about the Saturday night Sunday morning crew, he blinked away a single tear from his eye.
