Electronica is everywhere. Now that’s not news. But the fact that progressive music may have digressed itself under various aegis, the sunny sands of Goa seem to have likened itself more conducive. Not anymore. Expanding on the human grooves, electronica is reverberating through magnetic waves across the country. And what better time for German Dj D-Nox to scratch his beats in the city.
As part of the Budweiser Clubbing tour in India, DJ D-Nox recently performed at Bombay 72 East in the city. Having played at clubs across the globe, he says, “It’s not that big a difference. Music connects and it’s pretty much the same everywhere irrespective of which country you’re playing at. Although I must admit I didn’t imagine electronic music to be so big in India. It’s a very exciting moment for the music scene here.”
For him, minimal techno has practically reached every corner of the world and so much for Europe setting standards he says, “Either we’re too late or too early.”
Far from contemporaries like John '00' Fleming, Richard Durand and Pete Gooding who have already toured the country, Dj D-Nox strays from psy-trance to a more hypnotic beat box influenced progressive house and trance. “My music is much slower to a beat of 126 to 130 beats per minute. I’m more into the groove,” he says.
In his own words, Dj D-Nox has been “infected” with electronica since his high school days and the music remains with him still. “It’s always been about fun and amazingly what I am able to do with my music hasn’t ceased to be. Every dawning day, or night it’s the surprise element that takes you to a different sphere of consciousness. I call it the “ah effect”. You listen to something, or create something and it’s always surprising what music can throw at you. In the same way, it’s the combination of all the travelling, meeting new people, experiencing new things — the “ah” moments never stop. Nor does the fun,” he elaborates.
Steering far from being “labelised”, Dj D-Nox could just stir you your own “ah” moment. Neither the first nor the last.
