Acknowledged as one of the ground-breaking music acts to emerge out of India in the past 15 years, Gaurav Raina as one half of the Midival Punditz, is no stranger to pushing the envelope till it gives in. After over a decade and a half of Midival Punditz, Gaurav’s solo project – GRAIN is about going back to the roots and producing quality music. From being DJ’s in Delhi clubs to making their own music and releasing 3 studio albums, Midival Punditz began making electronica when it was just starting out in the West. Eventually leading to the conception of Asian Electronica, Midival’s journey has now come a full circle with both Tapan and Gaurav venturing out under individual monikers while still continuing to play together. As a producer, Gaurav has earned varied experiences working with the likes of Anoushka Shankar, Karsh Kale, Sting and Norah Jones. As an artist, he has performed with international names such as Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Usher etc as well as composed background scores for Bollywood films including Dum Maro Dum, Karthik Calling Karthik and Soundtrack. A DJ who plays cross-genre, experimental sets and explores new scenes and sounds, GRAIN’s music flows from Electronica to Indian Electronica and Drum n Bass to Dubstep.
