BLOT! is a club project from New Delhi-based producer Gaurav Malaker and considered as India’s finest underground electronic music outfit. Gaurav’s minimal techno act is something unique and idiosyncratic.
Since its debut in July 2016, the series has taken in shows in Mumbai, Santiago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and most recently, Miami, where Danny Tenaglia, Josh Wink, Oscar G and Lazaro Casanova provided the soundtrack for a night dedicated to exploring the foundations of US house and techno. Hip-hop icon Jazzy Jeff took to the decks in Philadelphia, while in Bengaluru for example, Fractal Fantasy founders and audiovisual savants Zora Jones and Sinjin Hawke were the focus of a bill that also showcased the talents of footwork star Jlin and Indian electronica acts likeKumailand Aerate Sound.
AB InBev marketing director India & South East Asia Kartikeya Sharma said: “Budweiser is committed to the mission of shaping electronic music culture in India and our partnership with Boiler Room for Discover What’s Brewing is a continuation of that. Boiler Room is the home of the underground and a familiar name for Indian music fans. The overwhelming response that the Mumbai and Bengaluru shows received is a sign that the Indian audience is hungry for the kind of experiences that we want to curate.”
Know more about the concept ‘Boiler Room’
Having been described as dance music’s Internet streaming party, Boiler Room has – since it was founded in 2010 by Blaise Bellville – evolved from a webcam taped to a warehouse wall to a global broadcaster streaming the best of underground music, from techno and hip hop to jazz and contemporary classical. With its award-winning content, Boiler Room reaches more than 157 million people per month.
The self-proclaimed online home of the underground gives the audience the chance to hear fresh dance music without setting foot in a club and most importantly, also a chance to hear music that rarely gets played in a club.
