CLASH BORN IN LONDON, WITH ROOTS IN INDIA, ALONGSIDE TIME SPENT GROWING UP IN ITALY, ALBANIA, SAUDI ARABIA, DUBAI AND NIGERIA, MERA BHAI'S WORLDLY INFLUENCE SEEPS INTO HIS UNIQUE TAKE ON DANCE MUSIC. KNOWN AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF TROPICAL-PSYCHEDELIA BAND FLAMINGODS, THE MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST HAS WORKED CLOSELY WITH MOSHI MOSHI RECORDS, SOUNDWAY RECORDS AND TOTAL REFRESHMENT CENTRE. SELECTED REMIXES COVERS TRACKS FROM HIS DEBUT RELEASE FUTUREPROOFING ON MOSHI MOSHI RECORDS (HOT CHIP, LYKKE LI, ANNA MEREDITH). THE RELEASE FEATURED HEAVYWEIGHT COLLABORATIONS FROM THE LIKES OF ANDREW ASHONG, ALXNDR LONDON, ALEX WHITE (FAT WHITE FAMILY) AND CHARLES PRESS (FLAMINGODS/NOON GARDEN). GIVEN THE FREE NATURE OF MERA BHAI'S PRODUCTION, HE SOUGHT TO HAVE THE TRACKS REIMAGINED AND REWORKED BY OTHER ARTISTS. MEDINA RECORDS CO-FOUNDER ABEL RAY STEPPING IN TO REWORK JAMA EL F'NA, ORIGINALLY AN EDIT OF AN AHMED FAKROUN TRACK. FROM THIS POINT A DIALOGUE BEGAN AND THE TWO PULLED TOGETHER MORE REMIXES FROM IÑIGO VONTIER (CALYPSO RECORDS), DUTCH SAUCE, THE VERSA, YAHYA (GET PHYSICAL) AND KING MONDAY (DAYTIMERS) TO SEE WHERE THEY COULD TAKE THINGS, IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS THE POTENTIAL FOR A VERY EXCITING RELEASE TO THEM BOTH. WHAT RESULTED WAS A 6 TRACK EP OF REMIXES FROM DEEP AND DREAMY TO DANCE FLOOR CUTS. ''THE EP WAS HEAVILY INSPIRED BY MY EXPERIENCES TRAVELLING, LIVING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND MY INDIAN HERITAGE, WHICH IS ALWAYS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN KEEN TO SHARE. I'M SUPER HAPPY THE REMIXES HAVE BROUGHT A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE TO THEM AND A NEW VIBE TO TAKE TO PEOPLE ON THE DANCE FLOOR. MEDINA RECORDS ALSO FEELS LIKE THE PERFECT HOME FOR THIS RECORD.'' _ MERA BHAI SUPPORT BY: JAMIIE, DUTCH SAUCE, SABO, BARON (FR), ABEL RAY, RADIO NOVA, NANDU, GOLDCAP, KINTAR, MARCO CAROLA (MINUS / PLUS 8), MIRKO PAOLONI, ROBBIE AKBAL, SAINT EVO, SILICONE SOUL, SOBEK, DAN MARCIANO, GRUUVELEMENT'S, SASCH BBC, SASHA CARASSI (PHOBIQ / DRUMCODE), MARCO FARAONE, MARTIN DASSLER, CHRIS LAKE (RISING MUSIC), NICK DAVIES, YAHYA (MA), DAMON MARTIN, PACO OSUNA, GAB RHOME, MERA BHAI, STEVEN WESTON, STEVE PARRY, TIM URBANYA (RUSH HOUR / SI), ERIC POWELL (BUSH RECORDS), PAUL DAREY (BORA BORA / IBIZA), NICOLAS MASSEYEFF, PAUL VAN DYK, AMBEROOM AND MORE ...
