Wild City #183: Hedrun

Wild City

Wild City's latest mix comes to us courtesy Mumbai-based producer and @jwalaco co-founder Palash Kothari, also known by his moniker Hedrun. We're not quite sure where @Hedrun's set belongs. This set could be suited to: a community centre in Dombivali, the tent of a hippie discovering the wonders of Indian yoga and meditation (and drugs) in the 80s, at a kitschy post-modern party at a hipster apartment in South Delhi, in the record collection of a seasoned crate digger who frequents New Gramophone House on pay days, at none of these places, or all. If that didn't give you a hint of exactly what Hedrun's mix sounds like, perhaps the track selection will. Featuring tracks by a range of artists such as Baluchi Ensemble of Karachi, Ananda Shankar, Lalita Bai, Birhi Bai, Don Cherry and Bernard Bonnier, and spanning genres such as Rajasthani folk, world fusion, East African folk and jazz, calling this mix a whirlwind would be an understatement. Hedrun was gracious enough to break down his track list for us and his listeners, so we’ll let him take over for elaboration.
