Our Picks From Pune NH7 Weekender Day 1

The Ed’s All-You-Can-Catch Sched

Tripshot Crew – 3.00-4.30pm ”“ Pepsi Dub Station

Get the party started early with the two-member Pune-based electronica act, who have some upbeat tunes that mash up everything from glitch hop and dubstep.

Gaurav Jagwani ”“ 4.20 ”“ 4.50pm ”“ The Other Stage

The Mumbai-based singer and multi-instrumentalist has dreamy acoustic pop tunes such as “Beach Walk” and “Spanish Sunset.” With three releases until date, Jagwani is also part of a band named The Yellow Pages, but his solo career seems to have just taken off with a packed gig calendar post Weekender.

ViceVersa ”“ 4.30 ”“ 5.20pm ”“ Pepsi Dub Station

With Rohit ”˜P-Man’ Pereira at its helm, expect nothing short of a mad party with ViceVersa. The electronica project that is driven by dubstep, drum n bass, breakbeat, rock ’n roll and hip hop would have just warmed up by the time you head out of Jagwani’s set to the Pepsi Dub Station. Mumbai-based vocalist and musician Sidd Coutto and Scribe guitarist Prashant Shah will step in to collaborate with ViceVersa.

Bay Beat Collective Presents The Mash Up ”“ 5.00-6.00pm ”“ Eristoff Wolves Den

Mumbai’s BBC is the first act of the festival at the Eristoff Wolves Den, the stage where the party never stops. BBC’s Kris Correya and Sohail Arora have been responsible for kicking off some of the biggest bass mash-ups this side of the bay and this set will be no different.

NH7: The Future ”“6.00-6.30pm ”“ The Dewarists

Some of the most buzzed about young musicians will get together for a supergroup performance of sorts. Watch Spud In The Box vocalists Ankit Dayal and Rohan Rajadhyaksha, The Colour Compound guitarist Bradley Tellis, solo singer Rachel Varghese, Goddess Gagged bassist Krishna Jhaveri, saxophonist Neil Gomes who has performed with Tough On Tobacco and  Aditya Ashok (ox7gen) jam together.

6.20”“7.20pm

Unless you want to catch just one of the acts, there’s no option but to shuttle between Talvin Singh at Eristoff Wolves Den and Swarathma and Friends at The Other Stage for this slot.

Clinton Cerejo ”“7.20-8.10pm ”“ The Dewarists

We’re hoping Cerejo opens his set with “Dungar” featuring Sawan Khan Manganiyar & the Salvation Singers and closes it with  guest spots by Vishal Dadlani and Sonu Kakkar on “Madari” –both tracks are off Cerejo’s MTV@Coke Studio appearance this year. If harmonies and a powerful gospel-led sound rock your boat, then stick it out at this set.

Watch Clinton Cerejo on MTV@Coke Studio with Vishal Dadlani+Sonu Kakkar on “Madari”

 

Dualist Inquiry and Friends ”“8.10 ”“ 9pm ”“ The Other Stage

GRAIN ”“ 7.40-8.40pm ”“Eristoff Wolves Den

MIDIval Punditz’s Gaurav Raina kicked off his solo project GRAIN earlier this year with artists such as Karsh Kale, Monica Dogra and Anoushka Shankar guesting on his debut album. GRAIN’s sound is not entirely different from what Raina does with the Punditz, but maybe some smash stage collaborations will set this set apart.

  9.00-10pm ”“ This is the trickiest slot of the day with Pentagram at the Eristoff Wolves Den, Berlin-based electronica act Jahcoozi and The Raghu Dixit Project on The Dewarists all at one time. We might just kick off the slot with Jahcoozi, hop across to TRDP and call it a wrap with Pentagram.
