Mayookh Bhaumik, who looks up to American singer-songwriter and electronic musician Skrillex, has come up with a tabla remix of one of his tracks. The young percussionist took Skrillex’sDirty vibe (from the album Recess), featuring Diplo, and mixed it with tabla beats to lend it a classical flavour.
Mayookh, who garnered praise as the music director of Hrid Majhare, and is currently working on his project, Black Coffee, said, “This was an impromptu effort.
I consider Skrillex to be a master rhythm designer and experimenting with a track of his seemed up my street. I love EDM and in this remix, I worked with trapstep and dubstep. I have also used idioms of classical tabla like laggi, peshkar and chalan to construct the track.” It took Mayookh just an hour to mix the track, which is a little less than three minutes.
So, does he plan to use this track commercially? “I am releasing it online and it’ll be available for free download. I am also planning to use this in my live set. But as of now, there’s no plan of using it commercially. I just hope Skrillex gets to hear it someday,” he signed off with a smile.
