Event Description

Talabot and Tielrooji will stop by at Koramanagala SOCIAL in Bangalore on Saturday, 22 April will be joined by Aaguu, Alina and G.S.T. Mumbai-based promoters Milkman have teamed up with iconic Dutch festival Dekmantel to bring John Talabot for his first tour of India. The two-stop tour will see the Catalunyan artist as well as Dekmantel Soundsystem (and festival co-founder) Casper Tielrooij perform in Mumbai and Bangalore. John Talabot John Talabot occupies a fairly unique position in the current electronic landscape. A space he has carved himself by staying true to an artistic vision that is broad in its scope and specific in its convictions.

His open minded approach to making, collecting and playing music allows him to be just as comfortable on the main stage of a great summer festival as in a small local club, earning the following of both the occasional fan and the demanding connoisseur along the way. Today, he keeps pushing the envelope, following instincts rather than stratagems. To do so he favours a continuous dialogue with like-minded artists. His alliance with Axel Boman in Talaboman has just birthed a new label and his Lost Scripts duo with Pional keeps delivering sparkles of brilliance, but those are just two of the several joint projects he currently has in play. Some might be announced soon, some might never see the light of day, but most important: they keep ideas flowing.

A need of discovery that also defines his tireless search of music, making him one of those rare DJs that can effortlessly juxtapose efficacy, risk and revelation. His allnighter sets are hard to forget, with notable examples in venues and festivals such as Sónar, Pickle Factory, Moog or the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in Glasgow. Moreover playing music, his curational endeavours keep expanding, having commissioned stages in festivals such as Primavera Sound or Nuits Sonores or bringing his Hivern Discs label's nights to clubs around Europe. In many ways, his work with the label epitomises his understanding of music: rigorous and committed, but constantly dynamic and open to the unexpected. Because if John Talabot has made something clear over the last decade, is that growth always comes from the will to keep exploring. Having just joined an agency like futura, with which it shares so many affinities, can only mean that new paths are ready to be crossed. While this is Dekmantel Soundsystem’s debut in India, it isn’t the first time they’ve paired up with Milkman.

Following a few foundational years in Europe, UK and the US, Milkman founder Jai Anand shifted his focus to his homeland and quickly became a key protagonist in Mumbai’s dance music community, which he continued to do so for the next six years. Anand’s time in Europe saw him throwing parties in Valencia, Spain, which is where he first connected with the Dutch duo known as Dekmantel Soundsystem in 2017.
