Nicolas Garcia (Acrux) - Silk Stria | Winner: Age 18-21 UK by Instruments INDIA

Nicolas is 20 years old and from London, and is currently in their third year of studying music at the University of Manchester.

Nicolas: "My biggest personal connection to Indian music is through bhangra by going to daytimer events in London and Manchester. I also thought that given the age range of the competition, Indian youth culture would be particularly relevant. Therefore, my aim was to explore some typical bhangra grooves and develop these with British glitch and bass music techniques in keeping with what I've heard these daytimer crews play recently.”
