Shaanti Supports REMIX Competition with Nila and the Rajas!

Whatever your style, the uber cool and talented Nila and the Rajas are launching a nationwide search for one lucky producer to mash-up one of their tracks. Whatever genre, the winning entry will be featured on Nila and the Raja's limited edition EP.

"Nila's fluid voice and compositional ambition absorb a range of influences from Arabic folk and jazz traditions to contemporary chillout and Indian classical flavours. Always surprising and restless by nature, Nila's work is endlessly inventive and can shift seamlessly between genres and cultural traditions with an individuality devoid of fear or contrivance. "Wandering leaf" is at times reminiscent of Joni Mitchell or Led Zeppelin (check "Battle of Evermore") where the title track "Unattached to Desire" is forged from the technical drive of a fledgling Shakti. Through a voice overflowing with nimble agility, wistful innocence and grace, Nila's debut weaves a very appealing spell. Inspired." NITIN SAWHNEY
