Krunk presents Hotbox ft. SUCHI, Anushka & Paloma @ antiSOCIAL, Mumbai.
Suchi:
She hosts a monthly show on Boxout FM called 'Through The Smog' and is part of the South Asian collective, Daytimers
As a DJ, her selections combine the right touch of percussive drums, Indian disco, 90s prog house, UK breaks, trance, electro, and techno. A genre-blending approach that comes from her close links to local producers based in all three of her hometowns. Her mission to place South Asian producers on the map is prominent throughout her sets and mixes, including her Boiler Room debut alongside Daytimers.
Anushka:
Her career as a DJ began with the inception of the duo, Anushka + Agent, along with Smita Singh. Her sets go beyond Breaks and Drum and Bass and seep into genres like Electro, Leftfield House and Techno. Anushka’s DJ sets layer bass-heavy and edgy breaks ultimately ensconced in a darker, moody veneer. She embraces a variety of styles in her sets and has become an icon of edginess- creating music interwoven with keen fashion sense, that is fresh, authentic, and driven by dance.
Paloma:
Paloma Monnappa is a colourful operator of a myriad of sounds, and storyteller whose DJ sets are a vivid transaltion of her life's experiences. Her Djing has taken across india from urban clubs to outdoor festivals and to the sunny shores of Sri Lanka. Worldly in her outlook, eclectic in her range, and isnpired by sould, choice of music amis at moving people.

-----------------------
About Pangaea:
-----------------------
Pangaea, aka Kevin McAuley, makes electronic dance music that
draws its energy from the bleeding edges between sounds.
Steering clear of the self-perpetuating feedback loops that often exist within established scenes, his tracks instead express the elusive and innovative qualities that characterise club genres in their infancy. The result is music which ranks among both the strangest and most banging dance music to emerge from the UK in the last decade.
His vision is perfectly demonstrated on his critically-acclaimed debut album ‘In Drum Play’ which featured on numerous ‘best of 2016’ lists (#9 FACT, #4 Sister Ray, #27 Crack). As a DJ since the age of 14, his sets are acrobatic voyages that reach outward to integrate techno, house and exploratory UK styles into their rhythmic axis; an aesthetic captured on his 2014 mix for the Fabriclive CD series and at internationally-renowned clubs and
festivals around the world.
Last year his RA-recommended ‘Two Mixes’ record reworked
classic tracks by Nomad and Loleatta Holloway in his own style. It received wide support from DJs across the board in the second half of 2017, with Salsoul officially releasing the ‘Stand Up’ version.
In 2007 Pangaea established the Hessle Audio label along with Ben UFO and Pearson Sound, which has expanded over the years to become a unique and pioneering force in modern club music. The label's ethos is simple: to draw together original and
boundary-pushing music not being represented elsewhere. As a trio they've been at the forefront of a scene that's accelerated at an unprecedented rate, making their enviable ability to stay ahead of the curve all the more impressive with a roster that boasts the indisputable talents of James Blake, Beatrice Dillon and Call Super, Peverelist, Blawan and more.
-----------------------
About Oceantied:
-----------------------
The past year has been abuzz with news from Oceantied,
who has been steadily making a mark for himself both
internationally as well as in India. From performing at the
first Boiler Room session in India to playing at
two of the biggest European festivals, Outlook and
Dimensions festivals, the solo electronic project started
by Ketan Bahirat, Oceantied is a deep-dive into the artist’s
sprawling soundscape.
Apart from his constant involvement in playing live shows
at clubs, venues and festivals around the country - under
Oceantied as well as on guitar for ‘Until We Last’ - Ketan
Bahirat has co founded 'Dasta' in 2016. Dasta is the coming
together of 6 unique artists and creators as a platform
pushing culture, collaboration and community in India.
-----------------------
About Alina:
-----------------------
At 19 years old, Alina is a rarity in the modern dance music scene. She was mentored by Bangalore's house music duo Knique and Jeza at 15. With a gifted ear for underground sounds and always eager to push her sonic boundaries, she has opened for artists such as Stellar Om source, Carl Finlow, Valesuchi and more.
Pushing her sonic boundaries further and constantly evolving her sound, Alina was in the line up for Regenerate's Far out Left festival which partnered with Amsterdam's famous Red light fm, and was also in the line up for Bangalore's very own music festival, Echoes of Earth.

About Acid Pauli
-----------------------
Acid Pauli aka Martin Gretschmann
Over the last 20 years Martin Gretschmann has been exploring new fields of music off the mainstream paths: psychedelic, adventurous and full of musicality.
In the mid 1990s Martin Gretschmann entered the light of attention with his pseudonym Console, an act he is known for until today. Shortly thereafter, Martin Gretschmann became a part of The Notwist and and added a certain electronic twist to the band. With his solo project Acid Pauli he created several records, remixes and podcast in the last couple of years. Since 2011 Acid Pauli lives in Berlin, where he became a part of the collective The Feathered Sun.
After his debut album "Mst“ released on Clown & Sunset in 2012 his second album BLD was released on his in-house record label Ouïe in early 2017. Martin founded this record label together with Nico Stojan and handled the first release themselves.
In 2016 he released his most popular track 'Nana' on the first label compilation of Pampa Records. At the same time he met Ilker Çatak who ask him to write the music for a feature film - Es war einmal Indianerland (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), a Coming of Age story based on the novel by Nils Mohl.
The movie premiered autumn 2017 and Acid Pauli released the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of it.

About Dorian Concept:
-----------------------
The narrative of music in the 2010s is that of connectivity, of flattened boundaries, of a level landscape: with the democratization of music distribution and more direct communication channels between creators and fans, the discourse hails a creative frontier with fewer obstacles than ever between the bedroom studio and the public consciousness. But what is less often spoken about is what falls between the cracks of unbridled access and constant chatter, and what happens to those who are offered a spotlight yet prefer not to stand in it. A post-postmodern position occupied by confident feet, which nonetheless refuse to dance on command. Enter Dorian Concept, the self-taught, Viennese-born and raised keyboardist and producer, our case in point.
Dorian Concept, born Oliver Thomas Johnson, in the early years climbed an ascent perhaps exemplary of this generation’s brightest production talents: after experimenting with production software, piano and saxophone throughout his teenage years, he studied multi-media art at university before catching the internet’s attention with virtuosic video footage of himself shredding on a microKORG and dropping out to pursue music-making more seriously. In the span of a few years he had caught the attention of such sonic agenda-setters as Gilles Peterson, Benji B and Mary Anne Hobbs; released a flurry of EPs; performed with The Cinematic Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall; joined the ranks of other promising upstarts at Red Bull Music Academy; got spotted by Flying Lotus and invited to tour in his live band. After finding a home on Ninja Tune, he enjoyed underground success with the release of an album “Joined Ends”, dizzyingly intricate singles which made the rounds on experimental dancefloors worldwide, and subsequent live touring from Glastonbury to Sonar to MoMA PS1’s Warm Up.
But true to his hometown’s intensely private and self-analytical spirit, Dorian Concept has been wary of the hyperconnectivity and demand for extraversion which defines the contemporary music world. That his name remains a currency in the headiest undercurrents, yet his public presence still so measured and sparse, speaks to a cautious thoughtfulness that belies the characteristic childlike play of his productions. Having spent the past four years largely off the radar – un-learning equipment he famously could play with his eyes closed and reconnecting with a sense of self still mostly shrouded from the world – he re-emerges with the announcement of his signing to Brainfeeder and the forthcoming release of his most evocative album to date. 2018 sees him poised to speak with a voice the world will be delighted to, finally, hear.
----------------------
About Madboy (LIVE)
----------------------
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.

Rafiki is the solo project of Sohail Arora (Founder of Krunk) pushing the best in cutting edge house / disco / techno / afro beat from across the globe.
--------------------
About Dreamstates
--------------------
Patently undaunted by the limitations of genre, bombay-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.
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.
