Catch Anu every other Wednesday on NTS, at a club near you (hopefully!) soon and check out her art through her self-published zine, I’m not busy, but I’m not free, stocked worldwide, baby!

King Monday

Mera Bhai b2b Temujin

Mera Bhai and Temujin are members of the Daytimers collective and will be performing a b2b of their favourite vinyl tracks from the South Asian Subcontinent and beyond.

Temujin has also played out on radio stations such as Balamii, Threads,1020 Radio and Boxout FM in India.

Petit Oiseau

Indian Classical player Jatinder Singh Durhailay’s graceful mastery of the three hundred year old dilruba breaks new ground in contemporary music with the aid of experimental musician Suren Seneviratne’s ambient synthesiser etudes performed with the rare EMU XL-7 workstation. Custom programmed sound-patches dance in curious rhythms alongside Singh’s deeply evocative sitar-like wails that hark back to the Northern India of many centuries ago.

Who are Daytimers and Global Local?

Daytimers is a community for creatives from a South Asian Descent to celebrate and learn about their universal heritage. Taking initial inspiration from the Asian underground dance scene in the 90s and diasporic culture, Daytimers has its roots in dance music but goes beyond to ensure all creatives have the platform they need to flourish.

They erupted onto the scene in 2019, representing a prolific and proud Asian underground movement. Their appearances at their events, like Boiler Room and Festivals like Glastonbury, have cemented their status as legendary champions of the Asian underground. They are beloved across different cultures, whilst appearing as cover stars on magazines like Dj Mag, Guardian Guide and Crack, cementing their reputation across the UK and beyond.

Global Local supports and celebrates artists from diverse cultural backgrounds by embracing their traditional music roots with a modern twist. They provide performance opportunities to talented emerging artists from a wide range of cultures and communities, and bring global music to hundreds of thousands of people at festivals, community events and club nights across the UK.
