Shri’s unique sound spans across everything from his own albums and concerts to collaborations with other musicians, contemporary dance, theatre, remixes, various radio and TV commissions.

After training as a classical tabla player, he turned tradition on its head by adapting his innovative feel for percussion to other instruments, notably his self-made fretless bass and the Indian bamboo flute. Using his tabla techniques, he quickly developed a totally unique style of slapping and coercing the most haunting and funky sounds from a bass that combined the visual gravitas of a sitar with the reverberant voice of the bowed Indian Sarangi, establishing a reputation as a unique multi-instrumentalist and performer.

His curiosity and constant search for something new and interesting has led his career and experiences to be extremely diverse. These are absorbed in his compositions, rolling drum and bass, sublime filmic trances and funky grooves, which travel the length and breadth of deepest India to deepest South London. Truly new music.
