Bandish Projekt
Bandish Projekt A Sonic Evolution Since 1997
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 has crossed more than 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 & Distinct Disruption (Bheja Fry Records),
standing firmly at the intersection of ancient rhythm and modern sonic rebellion.
