DO YOU RECORDINGS 商品一覧

Connecting the past to the present, the album is inspired by Richard’s Indian heritage and his current residency on Charlie Bones’ station, Do!! You!!! Radio. The sound of the album can be described as Indian, Persian and Western influenced cosmic disco and house. Sen explains the idea behind the title of the album:‘Charlie, O.G. and I were sitting outside, eating pizza and a local character came up to me and said, ‘India Man!’. Charlie thought that would be a good name for the album. This got me thinking about my father’s lineage and how, through the complexities of colonialism and British India, I ended up where I am. I was reminded of the four generations of ‘India Man’.In the 1920s, my great-grandfather came to London to study law and train as a barrister. Whilst here, he met and married my British great-grandmother. In the 1930s, my grandfather ran away from home, had his voice trained in Italy and then came to the UK. He joined a company that took him around the UK, singing at various music halls. In the 1950s, my father came to the UK to try and launch a career as a musician. Alongside his brother and father, they busked on the London Underground and he later toured France with his band.It seems fitting to acknowledge my Indian ancestry combined with my British experiences of dance music and influences of Do!! You!!! The track Eleven Eleven was inspired by listening to Charlie’s shows over the past 8 years.’
