Delhi 2 Dublin is a hybrid live/electronic famous for their energy onstage. D2D features a heavy electronic backbone with live traditional Indian instruments (dhol, tabla), fiddle, electric guitar, and the stunning punjabi-english vocals of frontman Sanjay Seran. The new album, 'We're All Desi' sees the notorious genre smashers continue to evolve into fresh sonic territory.
Why the name Delhi 2 Dublin? Is there a story you would like to share?
It was a one-off collaboration that took place on a club night during the Celtic Festival in Vancouver back in 2006 and the night was branded as Delhi to Dublin. Instantly the project started to get booked locally and there was no name for it so we just kept the name of the night changing the 'to' to a 2 and the rest is still being written.
You guys make extremely energetic music. Where do you draw inspiration from to always be so energized?
We all started from party rocking roots, so when we came together for the initial collaboration we just did what we did best and that was throw down a party rocking set. It's where we are most comfortable and it is how we deliver our message, bringing people together by rocking their asses off! So really us being energized isn't contrived, but rather what is most natural to us.
Each one of you in the band are specialized in something. Can you tell us more about it?
I'm sure I could go off on this for a while. Yes we definitely all have our strengths but to get the full grasp of how it all comes together and how these strengths compliment each other one should see us live. That's when it really shows how the individual strengths are only a fraction of the whole, and like super heroes or something we are much stronger together. We have a secret weapon too, Ravi's smile!
