In 1999, Zakir Hussain and bassist-producer Bill Laswell came together to create Tabla Beat Science, a project built around taking the tabla into a new sonic landscape. The idea grew into the album Tala Matrix (2000), bringing together some remarkable musicians: Zakir Hussain, Bill Laswell, Karsh Kale, Trilok Gurtu, Talvin Singh and Ustad Sultan Khan. Their music combined Hindustani rhythms with bass, drum & bass, electronic production and other contemporary sounds. The project later evolved int

An Indian-American kid in suburban New York taught himself tabla alone in his bedroom, listening to Zakir Hussain records. No teacher. No guru. He grew up to wire up the tabla itself, get signed as the first Indo-American artist on a solo deal in the US, and play Tabla Beat Science alongside Zakir Hussain. But the part nobody tells you is what he did next. When Karsh Kale signed to Six Degrees Records, he pushed his label to sign Midival Punditz too. By 2001, they became the first Indian electro

One of the most experienced and accomplished independent artists in the Indian circuit, having moved base from his home in New York, Karsh Kale @karshkale is back in a new avatar - a modern eclectic singer-storyteller. A new album ‘Dust’, 9 years after his last full scale album. How does an artist of this repertoire, who shaped not just a genre but a movement, is a multi-instrumentalist, has played with the masters, bounce back when life takes a pause? He deconstructs, fights back and creates. H

When the first thumps sounded imperfect, and the tabla felt out of tune, someone had to see the vision and chase it until it became a unique, distinct reality.

More than just melodies and beats coming together, music to me is a daily rhythm. And while I like to make music, I LOVE to redefine it. Rooted in tradition, my sound is mixed with the hum of today. From blending tabla with rock, to writing, producing, and pushing sonic boundaries – it’s been a wild ride. And now, I get to shape the next generation of artists ready to shake things up. So when @jblindia asked me to join JBLMA 2025 as a mentor, I was super hyped! Super excited for this journey, le
