'Mazo' EP out on Fear of Flying 4th October 2008
Fear of Flying celebrate their 10th release with the mystically charged `Mazo` EP from Pawas being supported by Lee Burridge, Laurent Garnier and Audiofly.
`Mazo` EP is spontaneous, groovy and exotic. A package that dips in toes in diversity, flirting with an assortment of influences and marking the ability of Pawas as an artist.
Pawas was born and brought up in India. The son of a classical Indian musician, he learnt the exquisite skills of the “tabla” (traditional indian drum) and taught himself various other instruments like percussion, bass guitar and keyboards in his early years. Enticed greatly by the electronic music scene the past decade has seen him relocate to Cologne and brought his productions to dancefloors such as DC10 and labels such as Spectral and Connaisseur.
The title track `Mazo` has already been luring the attention of the big names, rattling out a kaleidoscope of drums. `Disorder` is soothing and graceful, painting a landscape of dreamy sound. `Mac Dub` skips into rapturous percussion, echoing elements of the mid 90s deep house sound while finding fresh feet and the closing `New Bed` plunges deeper into dark, atmospheric territory.
Pawas` colorful style in his string of solo productions and collaborations with friend Daso have found favour amongst a variety of jocks such as Luciano, Hernan Cattaneo, Satoshie Tomiie & Paul Woolford. This release is a follow-up to Pawas` first release on Fear of Flying, the “PLAYTEX EP” last year.
Taking flight in 2005 Fear of Flying records glides through the deeper shades of techno and dives into the warmth of house. Reaching a decade of releases, it has become one of the UK`s most flourishing labels and found an army of support both at home and abroad.
A label that seeps imagination and creativity, keep watching as Fear of Flying bears the soul of its flight.
The last 18 months has been a revolutionary time to remember for the deeper side of electronic dance music. With the deeper areas of house, techno and minimal having a stronger foothold on dance music than ever before, talented artists within these genres are finally getting the credit and acclaim they deserve, non more-so than Pawas Gupta. Born and raised to a classical musician in India, Pawas was always destined for a career in music. From initially playing the ``tabla`` (Indian drums) alongside his father in concerts, Pawas` musical prowess was evident almost instantly as he quickly taught himself to play numerous other instruments including percussion, bass guitar and keyboards. Following in his father`s footsteps, Pawas soon chose to persue a career within his new found love of electronic music. At age 17, he began DJing in his native India and despite becoming a huge icon within the Indian dance scene, Pawas` move to Europe in 2004 brought him to another level of success. With his DJing talents becoming recognised around central Europe, production was the next step for Pawas. After the instant success of his first solo record `Katang` in early 07, Pawas` own productions together with his highly acclaimed collaborations with his best friend and fellow dance heavyweight Daso, has seen the adopted German causing a stir within the global scene. After releases on labels such as Spectral Sound, Flash, Squonk and Connaisseur plus smash hits such as `Bummelzug`, `Det` and `Crawl Around`, a legion of the world;s top DJs and producers have all joined the Pawas fan club, including Dubfire, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Marc Romboy, Luciano, Jimpster, Satoshie Tomiie etc. Pawas` deep, Detroit influenced style of house and techno has now become a much demanded recipe within dance music and DJ gigs in the likes of Switzerland, Spain, Norway, Dubai, Sweden and throughout Germany over the last year are an indication of this .and the next 12 months are expected to be bigger than ever for Pawas.
