Details on their way
GANDHAAR AMIN FT. DHAIVAT JANI
6.00
Gandhaar started learning Indian classical music from his father, Nitin Amin, at the age of 4. He started touring with his father at the age of 8, and began his journey as a solo performer at the age of 12. Those early years spent immersed into the world of Indian classical music helped him create a strongmelodic base to launch his musical exploration.
It was in college that Gandhaar started exploring other forms of music from around the world. He spent a few years playing in bands and recording for producers from around India, and eventually found his unique sound, combining traditional Indian melodic composition with modern electronic music production.
Gandhaar has since released multiple albums and singles, while also producing music for other indie artists. He has also been composing background scores and songs for TV and films for over a decade. He was notably a collaborator and co-composer on the debut music album by His Holiness The Dalai Lama, titled Inner World.
Gandhaar performs this unique and fresh music as a solo performer, or with a band. He has played at festivals and private events across India, and has recently moved to Toronto, Canada, looking to cater to the diverse tastes of western, urban audiences.

DANNY REBEL & THE KGB
2.30
5 men on a mission, 5 men who have collided together to create a sound unlike any other. A sound designed to enlighten those who are HIP to the fact that it's alright to love Punk as much as Reggae, Soul as much as Gypsy Revival, Bang! as much as Boom!. A style formed on the basis that pushing the envelope is a necessity, not an outcome.
5 men who want nothing more than to travel far & wide to bring people the sound they've created. Through tireless efforts in the fields of Style & Substance, Danny Rebel & The KGB have been, since 2006, systematically crossing off places on the map as "Conquered" or "To be conquered". Your city is NEXT.
Their crowning achievement of their work comes in the form of their debut full-length, BLASTOFF!, recorded & produced by Dub scientist Victor Rice. An album that spans sixteen tracks and three continents, available Summer 2012 on Stomp Records, is all you'll need to convince yourself deep down that you were, are, and always will be a part of the KGB. So fly your flag, get on the dance floor, and let loose! When faced with the prospect of the future, the KGB are quick to reply:
"We've traveled back in time from the future to ensure that all is BANG!, life is BOOM!, and the universe continues to be 300% DYNAMITE!"
