TALVIN SINGH
With Oskar Vizan
One night only Australian Premiere


International cult DJ Talvin Singh makes his Australian debut with Tabtek, a spectacular audio and visual set melding live tabla and digital electronica beats with special visuals from Soi (Japan).

Singh has collaborated with the biggest names in international club music, including Madonna, Björk, Courtney Pine, Massive Attack, Joi and the Asian Dub Foundation.

Founder of London's 90s Asian dance hotspot, the Anokha club, Singh set the London music scene on its head when he won the Mercury Music Prize for popular music in 1999.

In this Australian premiere concert performance, Singh fuses the highly evolved melody and complex rhythmic intensity of Indian classical music with lo-fi electronica to great effect- as only Talvin Singh can.

ill be definitely checking this guy out, i never got to see him when i lived in the UK, but ive heard a fair bit of his stuff and its pretty damn nice. think d&b with indian sounding drums, a bit bhangra sounding, a little like asian dub foundation perhaps, but less 'bandish' or 'poppy' then them (if you could call ADF poppy at all).

great to see such an act getting a bill for the adelaide festival of arts! Headbanger

This guy is the reason i'm so in LOVE with drum and bass... So if anyone out there who considers themselves a true lover then this should be an event that they should not miss... he might not be dark, twisted, funky or hard banging but this guy is a master and he is one of the greatest musician in the electronic genre.... BOH! BOH! BOH!

This and all the francis bacon stuff is a definite for the the festival for me

I've got a thousand ways to say nothing
So I cherish lyricism and freeform through farce
My odd facade iconoclast no longer enslaved by the concept of bars
But still excited when the beat drops
Read me between the lines, I'm not blank space
Case and point; blank stare. I stare into space filling in the blanks
And I don't brainstorm, I shift cerebral plates until the rain comes

Can someone please tell me something about Talvin Singh?
What style does he play? Does he make beats or just spin?
And does anyone have a link to one of his sets? -old or new
Cheers

i guess he makes a cross between traditional indian music, trip hop and dnb....he makes beats and djs, his album O.K won him the mercury music award that newforms won for roni+reprezant, and dummy won for portishead.....and its nigh on impossible to find talvin singh sets in my experience, but i would probably be able to hand you a copy of one of his albums if you like

no tickets as yet, i assume they are on sale already....i was going to get them in a couple of weeks, when i wasnt towing the poverty line so severely......oh and alice russell tickets, if you dont object i will pick you up one when i go to get mine
