About Jitter
--------------------------------
Talent speaks for itself. It doesn’t scream or shout, it settles in quietly and rages a storm for the world to see. And nobody embodies that degree of talent better than Jayant. A DJ, Producer and Music Composer who has been in the industry for over 15 years, Jayant is a multi-faceted artist.Undeniably identified as India’s most versatile DJ, Jayant’s obsession with creating music started at an early age. His curiosity and eagerness has not waned ever since the first time he manipulated sounds to his whim.
Jayant began producing music in 2003 and has done numerous projects since then, working with internationally acclaimed artists.His pet project Jitter is a LIVE/DJ techno identity.
His boundaries as an artist are practically limitless, and that ethos reflects in all his work. His influences
come from a wide spectrum of artists and musicians ranging from Indian classical, electronica, rock, techno and
ambient – and Jayant has fused all of them to develop a unique style of music, all his own.
Even though these genres lay a fundamental base for his work, one can’t characterize what you really experience and feel at his live shows. As Jitter, his sound is very edgy, experimental and emotive.

About Madboy
--------------------------------
MADBOY, the solo Electronic project of Imaad Shah, is based out of Mumbai, India. The Electro-Soul inspired sound and Live show uses elements of high energy dance music and places it in the context of old school Funk and Soul influences- with live guitar and synthesizers. Madboy is one half of popular Electro-Funk duo Madboy/Mink - This project is his playground as a producer, with touches of Acid, Disco, Hip hop instrumentals, genre-defying electronic music, his trademark vocals, guitar and dense synth-laden soundscapes. The act is less than a year old and since his first release last year of the well recieved EP 'Boy', Imaad has played to audiences all across the country at almost every live music venue in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Kolkata, and other cities. He has played at Red Light Radio, Amsterdam, Sorte Firkante, Copenhagen and Ziro Festival of Music.
The second new EP/ first album (scheduled to launch in May
2017) from Madboy 'Dream Delite' explores dreamy sexuality and plays with the difference between dreams and reality. It explores the states of being asleep and being awake using synthesizers, surreal lyrics, hip hop beats and soul inspired vocals. The genre could be called 'neo-soul' but Madboy plays his own variety of it, as the songwriting and production are super modern- using unusual synth sounds, flowing Arps, crisp Hip-hop inspired beats, and towards the end- a little bit of darkness and space exploration.

--------------------------------
About Dreamstates
--------------------------------
Patently undaunted by the limitations of genre, Mumbai-based dreamstates’ approach to music selection is but a natural furtherance of his wide listening habits, habits that have been in a state of positive flux for nearly two decades.
That he would make for one of the Indian underground’s in demand DJs this early into his professional career would have been a cautious punt even for an 18-year-old Dharam Saraviya circa 2007 as he cut his teeth playing rhythm guitar in thrash and punk bands.
Time spent in the erstwhile Indian punk rock scene and then finally as a long- term working hand behind some of India’s most iconic musical gatherings,
dreamstates’ unique position has allowed for a window into both sides of the contemporary music divide.
A deep curiosity and a ravenous thirst for musical knowledge guides his hands on the ones-and-twos, and whether it’s lo-fi breakbeats, electro, garage or acid oozing out through the speakers, the unique signature of a dreamstates performance invariably breaks through the mix. As a resident DJ on Boxout.FM, India’s only online community radio station devoted to alternative music, dreamstates hosts a monthly show titled ‘Cosmic Claps’.

About Jitwam
--------------------------------
With his roots in Assam, northeast India, and his hustle now based in Brooklyn, the psychedelic soul-savant known as jitwam has cemented his place in the lineage of great Indian composers, where global sounds collide with modern production techniques, turning in some of the warmest hip hop, r&B, house, jazz and soul you’ll hear all year.
Jitwam officially dropped his second album HONEYCOMB on !K7 / Tartelet Records in May 2019. To mark its release, a music video to the album’s opener “busstop” was shot in the exhilarating city of Mumbai across three days. Of everywhere and nowhere, jitwam’s music draws influence from a litany of iconoclasts including, but not limited to RD Burman, Moondog, The Velvet Underground, Yayoi Kusama, Jay Electronica, Jay Dilla, Moodymann, Leon Thomas, Madlib and Asha Bhosle.
Utilising knowledge acquired through years spent digging through dusty crates, and talents honed as a multi instrumentalist, producer, and vocalist, HONEYCOMB frees jitwam from any parameters of a dance floor 12-inch, effortlessly mixing roles as a bandleader, DJ and singer songwriter. HONEYCOMB follows jitwam’s well-received EPs on his own record label, The Jazz Diaries, which secured him a spot on Moodymann’s DJ Kicks compilation, as well as a steady string of gigs that took his talents from a country-wide NTS Radio tour in India, to shows in Europe and the US, where he opened for legendary jazz-funk artist Roy Ayers and toured nationally with Kamaal Williams.

In the past, he has shared the stage with the likes of Shigeto, Four Tet, DJ Koze, Teebs, Ratatat, Mount Kimbie and Kutmah, and been featured on boxout.fm, Boiler Room, Sofar Sounds, and COLORS.
