The Calmbabas is a collaborative project uniting two of India's most iconic Minimal Techno artists: Calm Chor (Ashvin Mani Sharma, co-founder of Soupherb Records) and Boombaba (Tarun Shahani, Soupherb Records artist). Longtime friends and trailblazers of the Indian underground dance music scene, these two have been shaking up festival and club floors for over 25 years.

Born from a series of unforgettable pop-up gigs at House of Chapora, AntiSocial, and other legendary Goan venues, Calmbabas emerged as a moniker synonymous with cutting-edge sonic experiences. These shows featured electronic music heavyweights like Eat Static, Karsh Kale, Midival Punditz, Vinayaka, and of course, the Calmbabas themselves.

Their debut EP draws from a shared nostalgia for the golden era of Goa Trance, weaving together their unique synthesis styles into a deeply textured audio journey.

"Bad Case of the Moody Blues" is a slow-burning mix of pulsing saw waves, ethereal bells, and syncopated tom rhythms. Its roaring synths push dance floors into mesmerising, hypnotic motion.

"Late Night Lateefs" transports listeners to an alien tropical world, where neon creatures call from within dense, glowing purple jungles. Amidst the croaks of giant luminous frogs and the shimmer of radiant flying insectoids, this track is a psychedelic safari under nine moonlit skies.

"In da Phryg" tells the story of RE44, a sentient android tired of routine. In a rogue move, RE44 rewrites his code, launching himself into a journey of wild funk, emotional resonance, and transformative escapades.

PUROFY is a progressive and melodic house project defined by emotional depth, subtle intensity, and modern club sensibility. The sound is cinematic yet danceable, hypnotic yet reflective – bridging introspection and euphoria in a deeply personal way.

After years of experimentation and evolution, PUROFY emerged with a refined sonic identity rooted in clarity and emotional connection. His 2025 release By Your Side with PARAFRAME on Black Hole Recordings marked a breakthrough moment, reaching #8 on the Beatport Progressive House Charts and securing editorial playlist placements across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

Now, with his follow-up release “Fading Moments” on Siona Records, PUROFY continues to cement his presence in the melodic scene. The EP gained support from Miss Monique, Markus Schulz, Korolova, Cosmic Gate, and Sultan + Shepard, and was featured on top-tier DJ shows like Purified Radio, Dialekt Radio, and Global DJ Broadcast.

Each PUROFY track is crafted for people who live in their heads but want to dance with their hearts.
This isn’t just about music - it’s about clarity through sound, emotion through groove, and connection without words.

My passion for electronic music starts with 16 years. After tingelling truth the Berlin Club Scene i started to collect more and more music over the years. In 2015 to get used into djing. I felt with my digging love and my round about Collection of Dance music i can take people to other places full of joy, mystic and freedom. 
The clubs & festival scene in and around Berlin inspired me for doing own organised events. Stations were like the Lost in Nature Festival, Rasselbande and other private partys. Actual projects I am working on are the Bachbeats Festival (Uckermark) and Tanzende Kunst (Fulda).
