Acclaimed producer, fusion musician, flamenco guitarist, and one of the leading British Asian artists of our time Nitin Sawhney comes to the new POD club space for an exclusive Halloween weekend DJ set.
“One of the most talented and recognized producers and songwriters within the British electronic and fusion music scene” – All Music Guide
Nitin Sawhney has won MOBO and BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards, as well as being nominated for a Mercury Music prize. He has worked with Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck, Talvin Singh, Sting and Sinead O’Connor, and counts Madonna as one of his most loyal fans. An actor, producer, as well as composer for a slew of films and television programs, the Guardian claimed, “It would be easier to jot down what this man can't do than what he can.Nitin's music provides a template for Britain's culturally diverse future.”
Sawhney’s previous album, Human, furthered his exploration into the careful blending of jazz, blues, soul, funk, Indian classical and drum 'n' bass. This blend has been focused and transformed into his latest release, All Mixed Up, a collection of remixes that includes collaborations with talents such as MJ Cole, Joe Clausell, and the Freeform Five.
After a stomping sell-out DJ performance in the Purty Kitchen as part of the Dun Laoghaire Festival of World Cultures in August, he returns to Dublin on his All Mixed Up tour to re-inaugurate the POD, and provide a unique chance to hear his eclectic and tasteful groove. Doors open at 9pm.
Nitin Sawhney Biog
There is no disputing the fact that Nitin Sawhney is widely regarded as one of the most influential and versatile creative talents alive today. Firmly established as a world-class producer, songwriter, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, orchestral composer, and cultural pioneer, Sawhney has become a latter-day Renaissance man in the worlds of music, dance, theatre, and film.
An acclaimed flamenco guitarist and classical/jazz pianist (Sawhney will be performing with the Britten Sinfonia at London's Royal Festival Halllater this year), he entered the professional world of recorded music approximately ten years ago, and has since released 6 studio albums- each one garnering critical acclaim. London's Outcaste Records released the breakthrough Beyond Skinin '99, which took a prestigious Technics Mercury Music Prizenomination and won Sawhney the coveted South Bank Show Award. Subsequently, Richard Branson's V2 Recordssigned Sawhney to a six-album deal, and released the millennial epic Prophesyin 2001 (winning a MOBO Awardas well as the BBC Radio 3 Music Award). This year will see the release of All Mixed Up– the definitive Nitin Sawhney remix collection (including mixes of Sawhney's seminal works byMJ Cole , Bugz in the Attic , Nasha , Joe Clausell , London Elektricity , KV5 , Fink , Ojos de Brujo , andSei-ji). Sawhney's seventh studio album will follow shortly thereafter in the early part of 2005. He has toured each of his albums extensively around the world (single-handedly selling out London's Royal Albert Halla month in advance), with the latest DJ performances being at the Lincoln Center Festival(NYC), the 9:30 Club(D.C.) and theHollywood Bowl (LA) in July 2004.
Sawhney has either written, remixed, played, or produced for a host of world-class artists, including Sir Paul McCartney , Sting , Sinead O'Connor , A R Rahman , Jeff Beck, and countless others. Currently, Sawhney is writing with Will Young(signed to Simon Cowell's 19 Mgmt, and whose debut album sold over 1.5m records worldwide) for Young's second studio album.
Sawhney's skills as producer and composer were called upon in 2000 when Cirque du Soleilapproached him to produce the studio album of Varekai, which brought his unique sound to an even-wider audience. In 2002 he worked with Akram Khanand Anish Kapoor, scoring the music to Khan's critically-acclaimed choreographed work Kaash, which toured worldwide between 2002 – 2003. Sawhney has since been commissioned to score the forthcoming Mahabharata adaptation by Olivier-award winning writer Stephen Clarke , as well as Khan's forthcoming new piece in 2005.
To date, Sawhney has scored over twenty-five films from his London-based Spirit Dance studios (six in the last twelve months), as well as having scored TV ads for the likes ofNikeand Sephora. His music for Channel Four'sSecond Generation saw him nominated for the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Film and TV Composition (2004), and his music has accompanied everything from dark, high-tension drama to light-hearted animatronics. Known for his incredible degree of versatility and exceptional standards of excellence, Sawhney has established himself as one of the UK's leading scorers for film and television.
This year, Sawhney has been commissioned by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Britten Sinfonia, and the Nuance Ensembleto compose several new performance works. Past commissions include 2000's Urban Prophecies for The Proms, as well as 2001's Neural Circuits for the Britten Sinfonia and leading British pianist, Joanna MacGregor. He is also currently in discussion with London's Royal National Theatreto stage a new production, written and scored by himself.
