Our Deezer Focus Artist for the month of July was…. Anish Kumar!
Ever heard about him?
Anish Kumar is one of the most interesting emerging voices in British electronic music. The creations of the producer and DJ of Indian origin seduce by his festive spirit and his consistent precision to build immediate melodies. In a similar way to Four Tet or Caribou, he is just as capable of making a floorbreaker as he is of successfully venturing into more ambient territories.
Anish Kumar has had an unstoppable 18 months. A slew of releases over the last few years, including recent EPs ‘Postcards’ and ‘Bollywood Super Hits!’ have led to co-signs from the likes of Four Tet, Daphni, Bonobo, Danny Howard and Pete Tong. Following festival appearances across Dialled In, Four Tet’s All-Dayer and Field Day, he also appeared across the UK and EU, consistently appearing on billings across major cities, playing at revered venues such as The Warehouse Project and Printworks.
