Hailing from the magical land of India, vinayak^a is no stranger to mystical rhythms and mysterious atmospheres. A part of India's ever-growing scene, he's leading the way with a series of releases that explore the deeper side of electronic music. This one is no different!

With a deep and warm bassline that picks you up and carries you across like a magic carpet, vinayak^a takes us into his dreamy world with such ease, that the listener cannot help but be transported to the ethereal realms. On the flip-side, German veteran Martin Buttrich disassembles the original into a pair of spacey delights, with his powerful yet atmospheric touch that made him one of the most respected producers around the globe.

Track listing:

1. vinayak^a – Set Her Free (Original Mix)
2. vinayak^a – Set Her Free (Martin Buttrich Remix)
3. vinayak^a – Set Her Free (Martin Buttrich Echo Dub)

Story behind my set:
Pollution & Religious Harmony 

My set starts with haunting sounds of the deep sea as if to say that the sea world is complaining about the way we humans have polluted their homes. You can hear cries of help & anger from the whales…

As the set moves on to the second half, I talk about my upbringing… My father, Jalaluddin Ferozali Shroff was a Muslim (Ismaili), and My Mother, Bharati a Hindu (Konkani, Brahmin). We (Shama (My sis) & me) were brought up to be good human beings first, live in harmony, respect one another and spread love. We would celebrate Diwali, Christmas and Ramzan with the same enthusiasm and excitement as the other. Welcomed everyone to our home without discrimination. Never asked anyone, their religion! 

Sadly, times have changed and so have people.. This is my humble attempt to show people that we can all live together and respect each other as humans and not differentiate by religion. And so my set contains verses of Hindu & Islamic cultures. This set will touch your heart and might make you slightly emotional but I hope it brings a smile to your face. 

Music has no boundaries. Music Unites us! 

Love,

Sam

The vibe I wanted to create here is to go deep in the melodies of techno and little bit of house vibe. An after touch of darkness to be felt while going though the whole podcast. 
Enjoy the Vibe :D

'No better feeling than to make people dance with a smile on their faces'
- Sam Shroff
 
 
Right from his school days, music has been an important part of Sam's life. His parents introduced him to "The Beatles" and "Simon and Garfunkel", which kindled his interest and curiosity for music. As much as he loved the classics, his love for beats was more, and he would often remix the songs he was listening to in his head. After school, Sam started to remix popular songs using software like Acid Pro and Sound Forge.
 
After completing his Bachelor's degree in Chennai, India, he went to London to pursue his Master's. The swinging city became his greatest lesson yet in the ocean of music and increased his respect for its vastness. Here is also where he discovered the world of Techno.
 
Chennai has also played an equal role in Sam's musical journey. Though a lot less active than London in terms of nightlife, the city always pushed contemporary music over mainstream sounds. Clubs such as EC41, HFO and SOCKO (some of them unfortunately now shut down) will always hold a special place in his life as they encouraged him to pursue a career as a DJ. 
 
Attending one of the biggest Techno festivals held on the beaches of Chennai's beautiful coastline and continuous encouragement from friends were essential catalysts for Sam to start mixing music. 
 
Sam has come a long way from playing off his iPod at home scenes to playing at friend's parties in front of huge crowds. He is now one of the most sought-after DJs in the circuit and has played at some of the best clubs and festivals in Chennai. He has shared the console with some of the business's most prominent names: Bart Skils, BLANCAh, Marco Bailey, Arjun Vagale, Ankytrixx, Ash Roy, Kohra, Calm Chor, Blot!, Rosper, MaFaiza and Tuhin Mehta, to name a few. 
 
A musical storyteller, Sam is known to create a mesmerizing vibe in all his sets!
