   About Hypnotic Gurus
Defying one-dimensional descriptors, crossing boundaries and erasing them, Hypnotic Gurus draws inspiration from many sources: Indian and western, ancient and modern, acoustic and electronic. A sonic curry that both soothes and satisfies, Hypnotic Gurus appeals to an eclectic audience gathering from distinct yet complimentary backgrounds: yoga, trip hop, ambient, urban. Produced by drummer Sunil Narang for CPDC Artists, Hypnotic Gurus infuses sitar into an atmosphere driven by his trademark deep pocket drum grooves and tinged with electronics. Through the sitar, AJ Rikhi Ram invokes the divine and summons the eternal yet exists in the hear and now, sculpting textures from lush and melodic to sparse and moody.

Flowing like the Ganges, a great musical tradition transmits from father to son, from wise master to young virtuoso. Since 1920, Rikhi Ram Musical Instruments Manufacturing Company has hand-crafted sitar, sarod, tanpura, surbahar, sarangi, tabla and harmonium. Founded by Pandit Rikhi Ram, continued by his dedicated son, Pandit Bishan Das Sharma and now, under the direction of his son, Ajay Sharma a.k.a. AJ Rikhi Ram, this lineage, unbroken, stretches into a new millennium where technology and tradition effortlessly intertwine. Exalted around the globe, the Rikhi Ram family has placed instruments and imparted instruction into the hands of musicians such as George Harrison of the Beatles.

Hypnotic Gurus has released its debut CD Night on CPDC Artists- a label whose name refers to Connaught Place in New Delhi, the home of AJ Rikhi Ram and Washington, DC, the home of Sunil Narang. Comprised of four transcendent tracks, Night takes the listener many places- some familiar, some surprising, but all vital to heightened awareness guided by inner light. The first track, City, glides along streets bustling with traffic, redolent with heat and exhaust, bristling with excitement. Next, Night, an emotional tribute to AJ's father, the late Pandit Bishan Das Sharma, connects our mortal flesh to the eternal soul. Through Memory, the listener indulges the sentimental, the romantic, the uplifting as refuge from the day's trials. In Time, the beat carries one forward, step by step, moment by moment, to return home to a welcoming face. Infectious, elevating and danceable, minimalist and fractal, each track breaks the box to crossover into receptive minds longing for a fresh outlook.

Be transported with Hypnotic Gurus to a higher dimension...
