New Delhi, June 19 : American disc jockey (DJ)
and electronic musician
Mux Mool is set to stage his maiden performance
in the country here Wednesday, a day ahead of the
World Music Day.
Besides
enthralling music lovers with his talent, he plans to explore chances
of collaborations and hopes to make long lasting connections in India.
"I'm
hoping to meet people to collaborate with. I may only have a week, but
I'd like to make some lasting connections if I could," Mool told IANS in
an interview.
Mool is here to perform in a multi-city tour in
association with Heineken Green Room (HGR), a first time initive in the
country, aimed at promoting unconventional music and artists.
On his tour, the DJ is looking forward to explore Indian music.
"India
has a rich musical history and some of my favourite producers have
travelled through India collecting records and field recordings and I
can't wait to see what I find," he said.
After his performance
here Wednesday, Mool will travel to Mumbai and Bangalore Friday and
Sunday respectively, to play for his fans.
He says he will focus on playing his own productions.
"I'll
be playing mostly my own productions mixed with bits of other popular
hip hop and club music, but like with every show it's best to sort of
read the crowd and see what they're liking and try and get everyone
excited and dancing," he said.
Starting from the state of
Minnesota, US, and making it big in Brooklyn, Mool has always been
fascinated with the idea of computers helping in making music and that
is how he developed a fetish for electronic beats and music.
Travelling through various parts of the world, he believes music knows no boundaries.
"I
feel rhythm is universal, we can all sense and respond to rhythm. Since
most of what I make is rhythm-based and largely instrumental, it's very
accessible," Mool said.
"The feeling is there without the need for words. We all know how to dance and nod our heads," he added.
Recently, he released his album "Planet High School" and these days he's busy mixing beats and music for rappers.
