Delhi to Dublin.

 

Delhi 2 Dublin is the new sound of music! Blending east and west, electronic and acoustic, mainstream and underground, the five member D2D crew takes listeners on a wild and borderless trip through global sounds and synchronicities. The band fuses the traditional sounds of tabla, dhol, fiddle, and sitar with cutting edge DJ aesthetics, to create a highly charged multi-cultural dance celebration. Originally formed for a one-shot performance during Vancouver's Celtic Fest in March of 2006, word of their foot stomping, high energy live set started to spread, and the project soon took a life of it's own. Recently, D2D were invited to open the massive Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa where they collaborated with Irish and Indian dancers and the National Circus School. They have since played many of the West Coast Canadian festivals including a spirited show at this past years' Shambhala Music Festival and are poised to take the act to a global level. With the able help of global fusion pioneer Adham Shaikh, they've just finished production of their first full length CD. It's getting steady airplay nationwide on the CBC and RJ1200 and has been played recently on BBC's Bobby Friction and Nihal and on Pathaan's Musical Rickshaw. "Delhi 2 Dublin is the perfect mix of bhangra(ic)-celtic synchronicity, it only happens onceand you are hearing it" - Cheb i Sabbah


EOTO

featuring Michael Travis from The String Cheese Incident and Zilla and Jason Hann from The String Cheese Incident.

 

Travis and Hann compose this brand new 100% improvised live breakbeat, trip-hop, house, and drum n' bass project. Nothing is pre-recorded, nothing is pre-rehearsed, nothing is pre-looped, no sets are pre-planned, no song will ever be repeated, and each night of music is completely unique to the listener.

Drawing from the ethos of some of the great DJ's and computer artists of the world, they use cutting edge technology to create truly original and melodic dance music in the moment, with the undeniable power of live drums. The music is all created on the spot, recorded, then mixed and remixed live to create an ever evolving musical experience. Since the project is 100% improvised, every night promises to be a unique dance experience.

Hann and Travis play different roles in this band than in SCI. Jason plays the drum kit, percussion and sampler, while Michael is in charge of the tonal elements, playing bass, guitar, and keyboards, and hand percussion and live mixing.
