Onlynow Mixes

The music of Bay Area-based artist Kush Arora (who also goes by Only Now) has been marked by a dizzyingly wide berth, releases covering Hindustani classical music, doom metal, ambient and drill. On this week’s TANK Mix, the artist features his own production works alongside some thundering industrial and bashment tracks. Arora comments “I ended this mix with strictly a grab bag of pre-2000 physical CD's from my collection, showing my true influences up till the age of 18.” Last month, Arora released a collaborative EP Alley Ghost with dancer and producer HMXGOD.

TANK Mix: Kush Arora/Only Now

https://soundcloud.com/onlynow2
Only Now is the vision of Kush Arora, based in Berkeley, CA. His sound is an unremitting emission of razor cut rhythms, primitive channeling, and ritualistic electronics. There is wild abandon in his approach; from seething Indian rhythms to cold fronts of ambience that highlight Arora’s ability to juggle disparate sonics. Active in the Bay Area since the late 90’s, Kush produces in scenes ranging from noise to dancehall as with his recent “Indian Unclassical” series. Arora's work has been featured on the BBC and in The Wire, The Quietus, The Guardian, FACT, Resident Advisor, and Bandcamp Daily. Over the past year Kush has performed with DUMA, Andy Stott, and Kokoko!
