OX7GEN's new single gets featured on UK's Med School Music

MUMBAI: In 2006, when Mumbai based OX7GEN (Aditya Ashok) was taking his first steps into the realm of electronic music, Hospital Records announced the launch of their radical new sister label, Med School Music whose aim is to champion emerging talent from across the world. More than a decade later after having played nearly at every major festival in the subcontinent, it is hard to deny that OX7GEN is at the forefront of the Drum and Bass evolution in India.

His new single, Trinity, will be released through Med School's most innovative release series New Blood that has been responsible for discovering and nurturing the genre's most promising new talent. “It's definitely something that I've been striving to do since I started producing Drum and Bass,” says Aditya about his new single.

He goes on to add, “It’s slightly different from the liquid heavy sound that most of my releases have and is a bit more minimal and intricate than usual. You can hear the influences of artists like Bop and the Microfunk sound that I've been into for some time now.”

Over the years, Aditya has gone on to support the biggest names in Drum and Bass like London Elektricity, Kasra, Alix Perez, and Dub Phizix during their tours of India. “I finished working on this tune a lot quicker and I wanted to send it out to a few labels but before that, I sent it to Tony (London Elektricity) who has been very helpful with feedback and I was pleasantly surprised when I got a reply saying that he as well as the A&R at Med School like the track and want to feature it on New Blood,” he adds.

Aditya who shuffles between his role as a producer and DJ (OX7GEN), and playing drums for Skyharbor, one of the biggest exports from India, has a lot on his plate in the coming months. He says, “I'm currently working on a bunch of dance floor heavy tunes as well as setting up a regular drum and bass night in Bombay. Outside of OX7GEN, I've just gotten done with a North American tour with Skyharbor. We're going to be touring the US a lot more, now that we have a brand new record forthcoming on the US based label Good Fight/Entertainment One Music. That record should be out in a few months.”

Trinity will be released as a part of the New Blood 018 compilation through Hospital Records’ sister label, Med School Music on 27 April 2018 and can be pre-ordered from https://MedSchoolMusic.lnk.to/NewBlood018FA.
