| B.R.E.E.D. Rajasthan Style! |
|
B.R.E.E.D. AKA DJ Nasha AKA Ritesh D'Souza is more than a DJ. He's a wandering minstrel of sorts, traveling the word with a satchel full of samplers and recorders. B.R.E.E.D. finds inspiration everywhere-people, sounds, colors. All of which he collects and uses in his trippy sets.
B.R.E.E.D. arrived in Rajasthan looking for inspiration, and boy did he find it. Wandering around an ancient haveli, he stumbled upon a sarangi player. And we sure are glad we were around to capture the collaboration. |
