Bored of bouncy tech-housers with Balkan-gypsy-jazz toppings yet? Yep, you and seemingly most other people cos there's been a sharp decline in the number of such tracks dropping into my inbox lately.Here, Kaspar Kochker takes a similar formula but approaches things slightly differently… instead of accordions and violins, Incredible India is just dripping in sitars and tablas - along with those driving tech-house beats and a positively RUDE big fat bassline.

Call me a groove-impaired WASP honky mofo if you will. But Indian music… that's a different matter. Always loved bhangra n' such – I grew up in Bradford after all – yet subcontinentally-inspired house fusions have generally been pretty thin on the ground. So yeah, that's a long roundabout way of saying I'm loving this.
The addition of a fairly self-explanatory Back To 90s Acid Tweak rub from Toris Badic is merely the icing on the cake!
