*OUT NOW* ARJUN VAGALE & RAMIRO LOPEZ debut EP on SCI+TEC

In a country with music tastes as varied as its culture, electronic music is finding its feet thanks to dedicated DJ’s and producers who bring international standards home. One of the pioneers of this movement is DJ/Producer Arjun Vagale, who has been constantly championing the country’s wealth of talent and leading the way with his work. Today, he adds another rung on the ladder up with his debut on the globally renowned dance music label, SCI+TEC, and joins forces with one of Spain’s hottest young artists Ramiro Lopez on their EP ‘One Shot’.

SCI+TEC is a premier techno label founded by legendary Grammy winning DJ and Producer, DUBFIRE. The label has previously released music from global dance music legends like Paul Ritch, David Squillace, Steve Lawler, Booka Shade, D’Julz and Dubfire himself among others.

 

Voted India’s No.1 DJ by DJ Mag India and India’s best Techno DJ and Producer by MyFav awards, Arjun Vagale has been consistently hitting the Beatport worldwide charts with each of his releases in 2014 and has been supported by some of the biggest names in dance music including John Digweed, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Loco Dice, Christian Smith, Victor Calderone and many more.

Showing appreciation for the EP, Secret Cinema said about the release, “French vocals always work for me and Je Na Sais Quoi uses them well!” Kaiserdisco added, “This is a great EP from Arjun and Ramiro – it will be getting the full Kaiser and disco support. I’m especially into Je Ne Sais Quoi.” Spanish maestro Uner believes “This release is perfect to destroy some stages during the Ibiza season!”

Instrumental in bringing globally acclaimed artists to our shores as well as representing the Indian techno scene through a series of gigs abroad, he has been setting the pace for others to follow. Playing at some of the biggest venues and festivals in the world, he started the year with an appearance at the BPM Festival in Mexico, followed up by a solo show at celebrated dance music venue, WOMB in Japan and is scheduled to play a few dates in Barcelona (OFF Sonar), Amsterdam and Berlin later this month.

We had a little chat with them about their release and more:

1. Congratulations on the release of your debut EP – “Bitch to Quit / Disjointed” . First off, tell us about the quirky title?

Thank you so much guys. We are stoked.

Bitch To Quit the title came from the vocal sample included in the track.

Its also a message we want to put out to the kids ‘stop doing drugs’ 😛

2. This is a question which will help many, how did you start on it and what was your inspiration?

The inspiration for both these tracks was simply the state of mind we were in at that point of time. We usually focus on the rhythm initially slowly creating grooves ending with a lot of effects and an apt arrangement. Through our sets and our productions, the aim is always to get people locked into a groove.

3. Whats your studio setup right now? Send in a pic?

The studio set up at the moment is quite simple.

We are running Logic and Ableton on our macbook Pro’s.

Running through a Digidesign Mbox/Focusrite Saffire Soundcard.

Yamaha HS80M Monitors and alternatively HS50M’s.

Lastly a Native Instruments Maschine.

4. What’s next from the Oozeundat stable ?

We are currently in the process of finishing our next EP.

Simultaneously working on a bunch of other tracks.

The goal this year is to put out as much quality music as possible.

5. Which music producers are keeping you inspired at the moment, name your top 5 picks and why?

Arjun Vagale

Alberto Ruiz

Carlo Lio

Project AKC

Whyt Noyz

Because all of them are making some amazing music.

Their tracks are quite stable in our sets.
