Why You Should Check Out The Dance Music Underground In Mumbai

A woozy, psychedelic mix straight from the heart of one of India’s most vibrant electronic music undegrounds.

We have to admit, we weren’t previously clued in to Kaleekarma, but after hearing this mix we’ll definitely be keeping our ears open to new output from the Mumbai local. The mix comes courtesy of Stamp The Wax’s City Guide mix series which has previously included Salons Des Amateurs mainstay Vladimir Ivkovic.

In this mix, the Indian metropolis of Mumbai is put under the spotlight. Featuring an interview with Kaleekarma on the best places to buy and listen to music in the city, she treats us to an enthralling mix of deep bass line melodies, woozy pads and hip-hop beats. The combination captures the psychedelic state of electronic music in her hometown. Check it out below and scroll further for the tracklist. Head here to hear Kaleekarma’s thoughts about where you should party, buy records and hang out when you’re in Mumbai.
