MUMBAI: Post a well-deserved break of a few years, the pioneers of Indian Electronica, Midival Punditz will be releasing a trio of singles in the latter half of 2019. The first, of three Punditz style, collaborative singles are out on July 26th, 2019.
Titled Rootha Yaar, the first single is based on the writings of Baba Bulle Shah and features Kolkatta-based Indian classical prodigy, Sukanya Chattopadhyay.
This song was originally written as part of the music, done for the popular web series on Amazon Prime called Made In Heaven, by Gaurav Raina and Tarana Marwah (Komorebi). The new version is the Punditz rendition of the same song, featuring a heavy dance floor groove and analogue synths, making it equally relevant at a club or for an easy listening session at home.
