On this weeks episode of the Feel My Bicep Mixtape, we welcome Anish Kumar, the British Indian producer whose duality underlies his artistry, having just graduated in Veterinary Medicine from The University Of Cambridge. His influences range from northern soul, disco, house to Bollywood making melodic, anthemic productions that are influenced by the culture around him and sounds from around the world. Let’s catch up on what Anish has been up to lately…


I finally graduated university (6 years) and played Glastonbury for the first time on the same weekend. I’m shattered but I’m ecstatic that I can move into the next phase of my life now, I was getting really frustrated at having to postpone studio sessions and other cool music opportunities because of my finals. That’s all done now.


I’ve got a few days off at home (Newcastle) before I fly out to the US for a string of shows. Having just moved out of university everything’s a mess and it’s weird having all of my belongings in one room. Obviously the decks were the first to get set up haha.


I actually wanted to do something that reflects this transitional phase in my life, which involves letting go of a lot of things and even relationships. When my laptop got wiped last year I lost a lot of my project files, leaving me to scavenge mp3s of demos I had been working on from old emails and USBs. It’s always funny looking back at old music and resonating with the idea there, but being horrified by the execution. Anyway, I found a few ‘lost demos’ from 2020 – 2021 that I still really like and wanted to cement them into reality in this mix, even though I can’t work on them or release them officially. It’s cool seeing how my influences and inspirations have evolved since then. I initially tried to do a full mix made up of only my old demos but it was too jarring. In a way, this is my way of letting go of that music as I move into something new.


Up next…
