GUMNAAM

Gumnaam is strongly drawn to those places where the subcontinental sounds of India border the warmest and most ecstatic sides of jungle. He has an unusual facility for making even the most obviously electronic tones sound acoustic, and then placing them alongside “real’ notes. His rhytms sound like they are played by an ensemble, yet their rave dynamics remain intact. A track produced by Gumnaam twists and turns and throw up new suprises in every bar. ( by Joe Muggs )

In 2010 Gumnaam decides to release his music independently and started to release his music on vinyl under his label Riddim&Culture Recordings.

Untill now Gumnaam his work has received support by DJ’s on BBC Radio1, 1Xtra and BBC Asian Network such as Yasser,DJ Nihal, Huw Stephens, DJ Kayper,Jamz Supernova and Bobby Friction. On the live front Gumnaam has performed his music at clubs and venues troughout the Netherlands such as Patronaat, Melkweg, Simplon, Paradiso, Sugar Factory, Romein, Ekko, Winston Kingdom, OT301 and Bitterzoet just to name a few. In the UK Gumnaam has performed at Brixton Jamm and Rhythm Factory ( London ) and he has toured throughout India and performed at the NH7 Festival.

In 2013 Gumnaam decides to leave his studio base in Haarlem and moves to Berlin,Germany. Attracted by the rich Berlin music scene,he finds fresh influences by gratedigging­ in the recordstores and by hearing established artists and DJ’s play over there. The inspiration he found on his journey is strongly reflected in his music.

After releasing several 12-inches and EP’s on his own Riddim & Culture label since 2010 and having his tracks featured on Big Dada and Ministry of Sound compilations, Gumnaam returns in 2017 with his nine track EP " Wavetable Hardware"
