Influences:: art :: the vision of the great surrealists, from dali to vijainder sharma, and the open accessibility of street art, and performance installationists like craig anthony miller, who opened my eyes in so many ways.

:: music :: the vision of true musicians, from pioneers like U2 and trent reznor, to karsh kale, midival punditz, dhamaal sound system, radiohiro and many more rising stars in the asian fusion movement.

   About v:shal kanwar

For nearly a decade, v:shal kanwar has been a fixture on the asian electronica scene, first as a live installationist and for the past many years as a DJ and tabla player. With an ever-growing list of collaborations to his credit, v:k is a resident of several DC- and NYC-based electronica events, including Kollektiv (NY & DC), Avaaz (NYC), electroganic (DC), and Sutra (DC). His performances alongside acclaimed artist-producers Karsh Kale, Janaka Selekta, Radiohiro, Cheb i Sabbah, MIDIval Punditz, DK a.k.a. Bollygirl, dimmsummer, Zakhm, Dhakfu, and numerous others have made an indelible impression in the world of global electronica.

From the rumbling basslines of dubstep and grime, to floor-shaking drum & bass, breaks and organic global electronica, v:k’s DJ sets have garnered countless accolades for their diversity, lush soundscapes and undeniable danceability. Many of his DJ sets also incorporate live tabla, Latin & African percussion, and collaborations with a host of MCs, spoken word artists and bellydancers.

As a traveling DJ, v:k has brought his brand of electronica infused with classical south asian elements to dance floors in nearly every major city in the US and South Asia, from Mumbai to San Francisco. His work is equally influenced by the serenity of the Himalayas, the desert dwellers of Black Rock City, the bustle of New Delhi and the hustle of NYC.

A partial list of his ongoing projects and collaborations include:

Events:

electroganic (DC), Avaaz (NYC), Kollektiv (NYC, DC), Sub Swara (NYC), Freakeasy (Chicago), the formula (DC), and the DC51 Collective (DC)

Artists:

Karsh Kale, Janaka Selekta, Radiohiro, Cheb i Sabbah, MIDIval Punditz, DK a.k.a. Bollygirl, dimmsummer, Zakhm, Dhakfu, A/X, the1shanti, Freq Nasty, David Starfire, Bassnectar, Dhamaal Soundsystem, My Pet Dragon, Bamboo Shoots, Suspicious Brown, Dub Gabriel, Odessa, DJ Goldie, DJ Spooky, Mr. Darko, The Arch Cupcake, DJ Amar, Anoushka Shankar, Radius, Drop Electric, and many others.

ive moved out of my cubical dwellings and into a classroom full of bouncy first graders whom I've developed a mostly love relationship with. going on 5 years of marriage with my right butt cheek (aka mikey), finished up my MA in May, and desire life far, far away from LA, preferably in a tract house surrounded by a white picket fence living next door to a white family that bakes apple pies. if i sound delirious and slightly insane, forgive me i'm fasting...anywho, i really want to move to austin this summer. have u been? its an amazing city with lots of artists, good music, and hippies. so how are u?
