14/04/2012 ANDRE GARDEJA & BLOT (Techno)
TLR is excited to welcome back André Gardeja! André started his early DJ career already in 1992 performing at Berlins’ legendary house club ‘Walfisch’, known as the world famous ‘Sage Club’ today. His early gigs were followed by regular DJ sets mixed for the unexcelled ‘Studio B’ underground parties in and around Berlin. The next decisive step in André’s career took place in 2001 when as a co-founder he launched the unequalled record label, event series and record store Freizeitglauben. A regular to the most popular venues in Berlin such as Tresor, Maria, Arena Club, Berghain, Dice, Renate, and Bar 25, André Gardeja is now traveling the world to discover new destinations and to pass on his vast experience in DJing to newly emerging music scenes. The great success of his first visit to India in 2009 and the outstanding crowd that bounced to his beats got him hooked on New Delhi.

WWYYZZZRRDDZ, pronounced “Wizards”, is Delhi nightlife’s best kept secret. The audiovisual entertainment unit comprised of DJ Su-Real and VJ Santana have been throwing elaborate parties and eliciting the wildest crowd reactions in their hometown for 2 years now. Best known as T.L.R.’s Disco 31 residents, WWYYZZZRRDDZ developed a notoriety for
their theme nights like Carnavale, Hallowe’en, Oktoberfest, Aerobics Disco, not to mention their legendary New Year’s Eve parties. Over this time, the duo has evolved their own style, fusing diverse influences that cut across time and geography to create a nightlife experience as cosmopolitan and contemporary as the new New Delhi.

After travelling the world and working in the music scenes in NYC and Montreal, DJ Su-Real moved back to his hometown New Delhi in 2008. Since then, he’s been burning up parties with live mixes that span across genres, geography and eras – classic disco hits, old school hip hop, acid house, afrobeat, dancehall, baile funk, moombahton, digital cumbia, 3ball, electro swing, Balkan beats, French touch, Dutch house, kuduro, kwaito, bollywood, lollywood – the entire history of recorded dance music is up for grabs in Su-Real’s relentless effort to rock the party. As Imported Go(o)ds Indian ambassador, he is keenly introducing “firang” sounds to “desi” crowds – Su-Real is the first DJ to unleash Moombahton in India, receiving a massive response for his epic closing set at the Dub Station at NH7 Weekender Festival 2011 in Pune. Also in 2011, Su-Real was the official host of the epic first Indian Soundclash between Reggae Rajahs & Bassfoundation.

Exciting, innovative live music from the underground. Spanning across genres from jazz, blues, rock, funk & more, and across global borders as well…

06/04/2012 SYNCOPATION (Free Jazz)
Syncopation is a contemporary and modern jazz outfit. It is setup as a trio and it’s members are all established musicians – who have years of experience behind them – playing with varying setups and at a spectrum of different gigs, concerts and events. The trio is spearheaded by Rishi Sachdeva, an extremely accomplished guitar player, accompanied by Nikhil Vasudevan on Drums and Sahil Warsi on Double Bass. Syncopation is a blend of talent and experience, as distributed amogst these three versatile musicians who have more than established a foothold for themselves in the music circuit in India.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Syncopation-The-Band/329179153790739

13/04/2012 THE PAISLEYS & MUD STUFFIN (Americana)
The Paisley’s music is an eclectic mix of folk, blues, swing and bluegrass with driving rhythm and powerful three part harmony. With guitar, banjo, harmonica, bass and percussion, they play their unique versions of songs by The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Band, The Eagles, Hank Williams, Gillian Welch, Gram Parsons, The Grateful Dead and many more. The Paisleys will play songs you know as well as songs that will become new friends.

If there’s something vaguely familiar in Mud Stuffin’s name, it’s likely because there’s also something familiar about Mark Mowry and his stable of “Stud Muffins”. Mark is the former front-man for “Big Bang Blues”, the Delhi-based blues/rock sextet that has been making waves throughout NCR and points beyond (Naukuchiatal,Mumbai, Pune). With his wry and off-beat sense of humor, Mark proves himself an on-beat performer and stage personality. Mark usually manages to good-naturedly goad the audience into participation. As Mark puts it, “It’s a whole lot more fun that way.” This isn’t Mark’s first team-up with Kapil, who is also a former member of “Big Bang Blues”. In fact, it was only about a year ago that Mark & Kapil conducted a four-month stint as performers at The Sheraton, Saket. It was at the Sheraton Saket and Big Bang Blues gigs that Mark & Kapil were able to hone their repertoire of American classic blues, ballads, and ragtime. Now Mark & Kapil are joined by Kahle, Mark’s dreadnaught wielding, dreadlock-wearing son. Kahle has consistently and steadfastly followed his own musical star, only to wind up as his dad’s most adept sideman. Kahle began playing his dad’s ragtime and fingerstyle guitar tunes around four years back, and now the two seamlessly exchange licks to their catchy, toe-tapping tunes. These are serious musicians with enough experience to realize it’s not just about them – it’s about you and your night on the town. Mud Stuffin’s songlist is as diverse as their instrumental capabilities, but be sure of this – you’ll be dancing, singing, and laughing along with Mud Stuffin, and the next day you’ll be glad you did!

20/04/2012 PETER CAT RECORDING CO (Gypsy Jazz)
Peter Cat Recording Co. or PCRC is based in New Delhi/San Francisco, currently consisting of 4 members, formed in 2009. It was initially a solo project started by Suryakant Sawhney in San Francisco, eventually blossoming into a full blown band/act. The type of music we play is open to discussion, with some people saying we sound like post depression era cabaret to to the Bangalore Times calling us Experimental Dark (?). Our style ranges from Gypsy Jazz to Ballroom Waltz to Midnight Moonlight car chase music (think Don). The sound is heavily inspired by 60s/70s Bollywood music, which was in turn inspired by American music of the 50s, such as big band music and soul. Lyrically, we choose to write about prostitutes, deception, android artists and about films coming to life.

We’ve played gigs all over the country that includes several popular and prestigious venues such as Blue Frog, Mehboob Studios , Counter Culture among others. We’ve also played at outdoor festivals such as the Big Mushroom Cloud Festival and ‘Celebrate Bandra’ Festival. Earlier in the year, we embarked on a tour of the country by car driving over 7500 kms and playing gigs at Goa, Chennai , Pune , Bombay , Chandigarh and Bangalore.

Launching into the new year with a big bang or two, WWYYZZZRRDDZ
refresh the Disco 31 format to cover an even wider swathe of
time-space in Disco 3001. The intergalactic explorers bip & bounce
across the known galaxy in search of the unknown, from quazars of
gleaming & beaming pop culture references to black holes of forgotten classics & guilty pleasures. Over 50 years ago, the first funk and disco groups were laying down the grooves that all modern dance music emerged from. WWYYZZZRRDDZ seek to forge the broken links between all these eras and genres of dance culture. Starting with original classics from soul, funk, & disco, we move into pop, R&B, hip hop, electro, & house… But we don’t stop there anymore, WWYYZZZRRDDZ bring the new millenium’s fertile fields of new genres with force: the hottest remixes & mash-ups plus global bass, gypsy house, balkan beats, dutch house, parisian filter house, jersey club, baltimore bounce, baile funk, kuduro, kwaito, secousse, shangaan, moombahton, 3bal, cumbia, afrobeat, bollywood, lollywood – it’s all up for grabs in an environment where all dance music forms a single continuum.

30/03/2012 SPACE (Hindustani Trip Hop)

In the winter of 2008, one evening Tritha along with her friend, Ritika decided to make music very “simply”… Using unassuming objects like a Tibetan prayer bowl, a ghungroo (used by Indian kathak dancers on their feet) and many other street percussive objects, they created a two voice harmonic sound. SPACE is now a journey where musicians, dancers and visual artists from various parts of the world keep boarding and sharing their human experiences through musical conversations. Instruments like tabla, saxophone, djembe, guitar have been brilliantly featured and a constant flow of new thoughts and fresh sounds fills up the feeling of SPACE. Space plays a subtle mix of electro-fusion folk pop, in 6 languages – Hindi, english, bengali, punjabi, sanskrit, tamil. And some random sounds and tribal calls too… Many call it the hindustan trip-hop music from India!!

Quizzes, charades and of course drinking contests offering free drinks and prizes for the quickest sharpshooters on deck. Monday, relax on the long voyage across the Cape of Good Hope and into the Indian Ocean, with our sights on our home port of Goa, where we wind up Carnavale with Mardi Gras, a.k.a. Fat Tuesday.

college radio station at which he worked. The only survivor of the
accident, Flash HarDcor sought his revenge by forcing hips to shake
via a mind control system comprised of soul, electro, baile funk,
baltimore club, fuzzy synths, kuduro, gun shot samples, and steel
drums. By day, he lives disguised as Kerry Harwin, a nerdy campaigner against climate change. By night, he dons his red jumpsuit in an unending war against the forces of sobriety.

Launching into the new year with a big bang or two, WWYYZZZRRDDZ
refresh the Disco 31 format to cover an even wider swathe of
time-space in Disco 3001. The intergalactic explorers bip & bounce
across the known galaxy in search of the unknown, from quazars of
gleaming & beaming pop culture references to black holes of forgotten classics & guilty pleasures. Over 50 years ago, the first funk and disco groups were laying down the grooves that all modern dance music emerged from. WWYYZZZRRDDZ seek to forge the broken links between all these eras and genres of dance culture. Starting with original classics from soul, funk, & disco, we move into pop, R&B, hip hop, electro, & house… But we don’t stop there anymore, WWYYZZZRRDDZ bring the new millenium’s fertile fields of new genres with force: the hottest remixes & mash-ups plus global bass, gypsy house, balkan beats, dutch house, parisian filter house, jersey club, baltimore bounce, baile funk, kuduro, kwaito, secousse, shangaan, moombahton, 3bal, cumbia, afrobeat, bollywood, lollywood – it’s all up for grabs in an environment where all dance music forms a single continuum.

03/02/2012 RAINER PUSCH TRIO (Saxophone Led Jazz)
As an internationally known and renowned saxophonist, arranger and composer, Rainer Pusch has always been interested in trying out new kinds of music. His spectrum ranges from a jazzy background obtained during his studies at the Berklee College of Music (Boston) to various performances with funk, latin and pop bands over the years. His sudden wish to explore the world of classic South Indian music began eight years ago, taking vocal and instrumental lessons from S. Rajaram, the highly respected director and teacher of the Kalakshetra College of Fine Arts, Chennai, as well as other classical teachers such as Madurai G. S. Mani and Selva Ganesh. This added yet another style to his musical palette. After several three to five months stays in Chennai between 1996 and 1998, a two years scholarship from the Indian Council on Cultural Relations enabled him to further deepen his knowledge of South Indian Carnatic music. Beside his studies in Carnatic music, Rainer Pusch ́s manifold interests brought him to collaborate repeatedly with many famed Indian musicians such as the Mumbai based guitarists Keith and Karl Peters, with Louis Banks, Dr. Mysore Manjunath, Sivamani or Ranjit Barot within the scope of Indo-Jazz Fusion projects. Further collaborations included recordings with A.R. Rahman and Ramnath Gopalnat as well as many gigs with Ganesh Kumar, Selva Ganesh, Dr. Balamuralikrishnan, and Amit Heri. He will be performing at TLR with along with other delhi based Jazz musicians, giving it a local flavor.

A long-time aficionado and student of North Indian classical music,
Legendary Boston Underground Hero, Guitarist, Composer, and Song Writer Phil Kaplan is bringing his very special blend of Rock and Roll, Jazz, Blues, and Fusion back to India, for a series of live appearances in February 2011. Only this time, it will be to unveil the heretofore best-kept secret in town: Raag Billy Bop. “‘Round about the end of the last monsoon season (2011), brothers Nikhil Mawkin and Clarence Gonsalves assembled an amazing cast of fearless talent, ready to try anything, and I can accurately say that Raag Bily Bop was forged in some serious heat! Along the way he has developed a customized guitar he calls the “Guitarod,” and has built up a body of work that is the result of a uniquely seamless blending and an unmistakable sound. Indeed, Phil says: “The gig has been to combine our respective roots and traditions organically, to grow sweet new songs, even creating new song forms. Raag Billy Bop truly captures the essence of what I have been on a musical journey all my life to make happen, to realize. I can hardly wait to pick up where we left off, and deliver the goods to audiences I know will dig this music greatly!”

21/01/2012 CIRCUS OF GROOVE feat. ANDRE GARDEJA
TLR is always excited to host André Gardeja for a night of authentic deep minimal techno and European house music. André started his early DJ career already in 1992 performing at Berlins’ legendary house club ‘Walfisch’, known as the world famous ‘Sage Club’ today. His early gigs were followed by regular DJ sets mixed for the unexcelled ‘Studio B’ underground parties in and around Berlin. The next decisive step in André’s career took place in 2001 when as a co-founder he launched the unequalled record label, event series and record store Freizeitglauben. A regular to the most popular venues in Berlin such as Tresor, Maria, Arena Club, Berghain, Dice, Renate, and Bar 25, André Gardeja is now traveling the world to discover new destinations and to pass on his vast experience in DJing to newly emerging music scenes. The great success of his first visit to India in 2009 and the outstanding crowd that bounced to his beats got him hooked on New Delhi.

The Last Puff was formed in 2009 by two friends Ankit and Kshitiz, after they met through a social networking website and started jamming at a friend’s play school terrace room. Kushagra’s elder brother was Ankit’s classmate in school, so he asked him to come and jam with them. Hence, in the winter of 2009, The Last Puff was born. All the band members are inspired individually by certain various genres, like the guy on the vocals and guitar is into Grunge, Psychedelic, Jazz, Goth and all other peculiar genres giving an unexpected raw touch to their music.The bass guitarist is more into melodic metal, giving a heavy touch to the band’s sound. The band’s drummer is into Thrash and Speed Metal giving a dynamic and speedy touch to the rhythm.
