Come October, and the music season will officially open up in the country. Festivals across the country are announcing line-ups, and bands are already setting up their schedules for tours. For the city’s prominent art space, G5A Foundation for Contemporary Culture, it also marks the beginning of their own chapter that brings together multiple art forms to create new experiences for the audience.

Sharan Punjabi will be part of the opener on October 1 as DJ Tansane. He admits that it is an exciting proposition to be playing at the space in Mahalaxmi. “I am quite excited to be able to play a different sonic palate than what I usually play,” he says. Since 2015, Tansane has been testing sound using innovative production and performance techniques. The season opener will be a window into the style and progress, says Punjabi. “It will be new in the sense that the set is early on in the evening. I will have quite a lot to try out,” he reveals.
