In December 2016, SKRS went on a pilgrimage to Bengaluru, South India, to be in the presence of Enlightened Master and Hindu Avatar, His Holiness Bhagwan Sri Paramahamsa Nithyananda Swami at his Bengaluru Aadheenam (temple-monastery compound).

This mix showcases a powerhouse selection of devotionals that they heard there for the first time and were completely enthralled by. This music was literally blasted day and night - often via impromptu PA systems roped and mounted on flatbed trucks - as part of a seemingly endless cycle of processions and celebrations. The music was heady, wonderfully over-the-top, uplifting, frenzied, ecstatic. They hope to convey even just an ounce of this very energy and experience through this mix.

SKRS BLR-2-BBC Mix for Tom Ravenscroft BBC Radio 6

Acid Pauli and Nico Stojan's label Ouïe proudly presents the original film score and soundtrack album for the new German moive 'Es war einmal Indianerland' which translates into 'Once upon a time in Indian Country’ which is centered around brand new songs by Acid Pauli.
A 17-year-old boy is at the odds with himself and the world. Pretty normal. But the coming-of-age-story “Es war einmal Indianerland” is not normal: it’s exceptional. Thrilling. Imaginative. The narration is virtousic, just as the attendant nominated novel by Nils Mohl who also wrote the screenplay – in collaboration with Max Reinhold. A psychedelic city-western ! Charged with pictures full of symbolism that are composed into a hypnotic whirl by Ilker Çatak – who won the Max-Ophüls price and who has been distinguished with the student Oscar for « Sadakat ». Another highlight : the outstanding cast. Newcomer Leonard Scheicher (« Quellen des Lebens ») as protagonist Mauser in between Jackie played by Emilia Schüle (« Ku’damm ’56, « Jugend ohne Gott »), and Edda played by Johanna Polley (« Mumbai »). In additional roles there’s Clemens Schick (« James Bond 007 – Casino Royale », « 4 Könige ») as Mausers father, and Joel Basman (« Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter ») as Mausers pal Kondor.
