Madame Gandhi’s YOUNG INDIAN REIMAGINED, a new collection of remixes of her 2019 Visions track “Young Indian”  is out now!

In Gandhi’s Own Words

Young Indian Reimagined is a collection of remixes of my song “Young Indian” by producers from around the world. Each song is repurposed for a different dance tradition, from Afrobeat to Reggaeton, Bhangra to Salsa! As a producer, I wanted to hold a remix competition to see where else we could take the song, and to connect with new collaborators digitally during this time of quarantine. We ended up getting over 500 submissions on Native Instruments’ Metapop.com, and after listening to every single remix, these 5 are our final selections!! Since I also get asked to DJ often, I also wanted to be able to spin my own music, and have remixes of my songs that fit a percussive dance floor context.

The Marina Machine Moombahton Remix uses vocal chopping and percussion to create a whole other high energy vibe. She produced this track while pregnant which was also deeply special to me! Sabrina Sabotage took us into a dreamy Reggaeton feel, while Rich Robbyn completely turned the track into a traditional salsa tune! Yash Pathak who works closely with A. R. Rahman in India turned “Young Indian” into a short and explosive Bhangra tune, while BowlBay closes the record with a deeply soulful Afrobeat reinterpretation.

I’m hype for you all to experience Young Indian Reimagined, and travel around the world with me as we experience the track through multiple genres.
