MIDIVAL PUNDITZ
Midival Punditz is the brainchild of childhood friends, Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj. In 1997, after being bored with the remix and Bollywood driven music scene in India, the boys started producing original electronic music and sending out demo tracks to labels and other producers. Simultaneously, their monthly parties, Cyber Mehfil started becoming hugely popular and soon achieved cult status. Their efforts were quickly recognized by other artists and producers in the US & UK. Word spread about the boys, as they came to be known as ‘The new sound of 21st Century India...' It was in 2000 that Six Degrees Records, home label of producer friend, Karsh Kale, became interested in signing the Punditz. By 2001 they were the first Electronic music act from India to ever sign an International Album deal. Since that time they have produced extensively with Six Degrees records viz. 3 studio albums, a remix album and a compilation. They have been featured internationally, on over 50 Compilations, across the globe...
