Bandish Projekt

Bandish Projekt is the long-running electronic alter ego of producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, Mayur Narvekar, a pioneer of India’s electronic music movement since 1997. Rooted in Indian street rhythms and ritual percussion, the project collides tradition with heavyweight bass, global club culture, and forward-thinking production. From early international festival appearances at Glastonbury, Bestival, Wychwood, Alchemy, and more, to the landmark 2009 album, Correkt, Bandish Projekt helped define India’s global electronic identity. The 2010s saw worldwide recognition through releases like “Brown Skin Beauty,” “Lover,” and the cult-defining "Dakla Project," a genre-bending electronic folk movement that surpassed 500+ million views globally. In 2021, “Bandar Baant” from the film Sherni brought Bandish Projekt’s sound to mainstream cinema, creating ripples across Bollywood and beyond. Still evolving, the project continues to blur borders with releases like "Beyond Borders" and "Distinct Disruption" (Bheja Fry Records). It stands firmly at the intersection of ancient rhythm and modern sonic rebellion.
