Boombaba + Jitter at The Blue Frog, Mumbai

Boombaba

Boombaba a.k.a Tarun is the moniker of Mumbai based Dj/producer Tarun Shahani who started producing electronic music after being inspired by meeting Delhi based duo Midival Punditz. Seeing them use early sequencers like Cakewalk to produce electronic beats and Melodies made him realize how it was actually possible to be a band by yourself and create music solely on a computer. Up until then he was djing and working with MTV as a host for shows like ClubMtv.

He started producing music on early sequencers like acid and fruity loops and realized that he lacked the principles of audio production having never worked in a studio. Though he was happy with the sounds he was creating and the arrangements, he missed the polished mixing that he had heard In the music of his favourite artists. He did a stint at SAE Chennai where his real obsession with audio started.

Tarun is now a renowned DJ, Music Producer and Sound Designer, having played at some of the most popular pubs in Mumbai and Chennai, as well as at the Sunburn Goa

Jitter
Jayant’s obsession with creating music, started at an early age. While his friends studied, and his parents worried, he immersed himself in sounds, creating his own unique brand of electronica. His curiosity and eagerness has not waned since. He began producing music in 2003 and has done numerous projects since working with artists such as Anoushka Shankar, Chebi Sabah, Karsh Kale, Midival Punditz, to name a few. He’s also produced music for a few film scores. Despite having no formal training in music theory, Jayant has created exceptional work with all of these artists and continues to work with many more.

Boundaries as an artist are practically limitless for him, and that ethos reflects in all his work. His influences come from a wide spectrum of artists and musicians ranging from Indian classical, electronica, rock, psy-chill, trance, techno and ambient. Jayant has developed a unique style of music by experimenting with all these genres. He works with what moves him emotionally and translates that experience into his own, eclectic electronic sound. Even though these genres give a fundamental idea of his work, you still cannot characterize what you really experience and feel at his shows. It is indescribable in words alone, you just have to come, listen and see for yourself.

Jiiter is a Live/Dj Minimal & Techno act by Jayant. The Sound of Jitter is very edgy, experimental, dancy and psychedelic in nature, almost bridging the gap between outdoor and club. Alongside Jitter, he is also a part of Karsh Kale’s band and has been touring with him since early 2012. He has also recently been voted No.2 Dj in DJ Mag India.
