Vancouver-based Delhi 2 Dublin is bringing its unique sound to Vernon’s Rarearth Music Fest.
The band (Tarun Nayar, Sanjay Seran, Andrew Kim and Ravi Binning along with new members Jaron Freeman-Fox and Sara Fitzpatrick) takes to the stage at Silver Star Mountain Resort Sunday at 8:15 p.m.
Delhi 2 Dublin’s latest album, Planet: Electrified, was released May 3.
Planet: Electrified is the re-imagination of the band’s last album, Planet: Electric, and it showcases the remix work of many of the band’s favourite producers. The result is a new sound for Delhi 2 Dublin, venturing into electro-house, techno and drum ‘n’ bass.
“We love it. It’s amazing to hear tracks we’re so familiar with done in a totally different way,” said band member Tarun Nayar.
“We’re also really happy to be collaborating with some of our heroes – from world electronica legend Gaudi to tropical hipster Poirier to U.K.-based drum ‘n’ bass heads Shiva Soundsystem.”
The album also features Canadian producers, DJ RSK aka sonicanimation (Rossland), Kashoo (Nelson) and Adham Shaikh (Nelson).
There is also a brand new track called Give It Away, the result of working with two great new fiddle players.
The song is a departure for Delhi 2 Dublin and features big booming 808s, a string section and traditional Punjabi, Heer Ranjha lyrics.
In 2011, the Delhi 2 Dublin crew will continue to take its live show on the road with already scheduled dates in the U.S., the Pacific Rim and Europe.
