Free Psychedelic Singh Download
Happy Diwali Bhangraw fam.
I tried thinking of a variety of ways to help celebrate the day with you guys. I thought of putting on a huge fireworks display in my backyard, lining up divas all the way to London, or personally delivering a box of Ladoos to each and every one of you.
But I couldn’t wrap my head around the logistics.
So instead, I have a monster download for you guys, and if you’re like me, you won’t need to see any fireworks tonight, because the colours you’ll see listening to this will be enough.
His name is Amarik Singh aka “The Psychedelic Singh” and I swear this guy is a frickin musical genius. I heard his music on the Friction show a couple of months ago, and was instantly addicted to it.
Last week, Bobby Friction managed to challenge Amarik to reproduce a set of songs. The end result is a sound you’ve never heard before.
I got a hold of Amarik last week after the show, and he was kind enough to pass on the 20 minute set to me to share with you guys.
You know when some women are pregnant, they strap on a set of headphones around their tummies, and play classical music to help stimulate the kid? If I was in said situation, I’d be urging wifey to be pumping Tigerstyle, PMC, Swami and Psychedelic Singh through the Amniotic Airwaves. That’s how ridiculously pimp this music is.
(Scientific fact/warning of the day – Only play up to 1 hour max of music for your unborn fetus)
I tried my best to ask Amarik a few questions about how old he was? Who his influences are? This is the reply I got:
Hailing from Bradford, England, Amarik Singh started creating music during the Electronic Punk Era whilst playing in various bands. It’s only in the last few years that Amarik has got back into creating music and experimenting with Bhangra and Electronic Music. With his main influences coming from the Psychedelic Era. Producer Amarik creates his sound by playing his own instruments including the Guitar, Drum, Keyboards and the Bass. At the moment he is working on his solo project ‘Quantum Soup’ and ‘Quantum Masala’
