This piece becomes even more meaningful when you take into consideration the history and context of the original composition, Raga Bhairav. Ragas are fundamental pieces in Indian classical music that have been around for thousands of years. There is no equivalent of ragas in Western music-- ragas are defined by the emotion they evoke in the listener. This piece, for example, is a serious raga that is supposed to be in devotion to Shiva, the God of Destruction. It is a masculine raga that evokes strong emotions in the listener that are supposed to wake him up to the power of Shiva and the eventual end of the world. It is considered the king of morning ragas and is supposed to be listened right when you begin your day in the morning so that you make the most use of the day and achieve all your goals, since time is limited and destruction is inevitable.
@@veyom5959 I meant the 'concept' of a raga. Ragas are written with the strict purpose of evoking specific emotions in the human mind. Its more of an epistemological perspective.
That's cool, and it actually sounds great. But it seems you're implying this is Acid. I hope you're not lol. There's a 303 being used , yes ...but do you hear that resonance knob being abused ? Nope The acid squelch is a result of the filter resonating itself combined with the sound proceeding through it. It's basically distorting it with harmonics. Here, not only is the 303 in the background, it isn't replacing Phuture Acid House
INDIA 1982 INTERESTING BECAUSE THE ROLAND TB303 WAS ONLY JUST CREATED NOT EVEN IN THE HANDS OF MUSICIANS IN THE WEST BUT AS IT WAS MADE IN JAPAN SOMEHOW THIS GUY HAD ONE 6 MONTHS B4 ANYONE ELSE HE HAD NO IDEA THAT HIS TAKE ON INDIAN CLASSICAL USING ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY HAD MOMENTS OF PURE TECHNO GENIUS
you put it well. all these electronica snobs arguing over whether this counts as the original techno/acid house because it didn't originate in chicago or detroit, does it matter? the genius of the hardware spawned the genius of the creativity to make the new soundscapes. end of.
@@idioticozzy regardless of where it originated, doesnt make it techno. its still good, and its actually closer in sound and arrangement to goa trance. its just not techno.
just heard about this reading about historical users of the TB-303. This is the freshest song I've heard in like a decade and it's 40 years old. My mind is blown... I'm probably going to play this ad nauseum until I never want to hear it again.
@@mbangroo I'm just stating that was his religious back then. It seems like his wife got him into Christianity in his old age. He was all over the place.
he didnt really start it, since nobody knew this track. if he would have released it as acid house in like 86/88 it would have been a hit tho, im sure of it.
Yo Colorado here. This is just really good. 2024 following glass beams, glad im still expanding my ear at the ripe ol age of 63. None of that matters.... this is just really good 😊
Don't worry people. I did the mastering of the reissue and played with Charanjit live. We played the raags on different speeds too, depending on our mood and where we played etc. Knowing Charanjit I can tell you he would not mind at all what speed you play it, and just be happy that you play it. And yes, we did some tracks on 45 RPM to get the best sound quality. You can hear us playing live here: ruclips.net/video/pq2UkWMOvfc/видео.html (as also released on Ballyhoo Records)
Let’s add a little India spice to your techno and then go back in time 6 years and release it in 1982. Now it’s time to re-introduce to the world this timeless classic that made the crossover from disco to acid house
+Mr A. Nonymous This sounds closer to '90s acid house (with some Goa trance) than it does to '80s acid house, so I'd say it's a good 10 years ahead of its time.
I love doing live remixes of this. I have the 303 lines in my sampler. It’s awesome to drop it mid techno jam. The audience never realizes they’re listening to the first electronic riff ever
Let's not re-write history based on what might be fun to believe. While this song is iconic, and ahead of its time for 303 usage, it's not a leader in 808 usage by any means. When this was released, Afrika Bambaataa had already released his legendary and highly influential Planet Rock, which would have a huge impact on the future of hip hop and electro. Electronic musicians had been using the 808 since 1980.
Reminds me of Rick Wright’s Pompei tour number “Set the controls to the heart of the sun” … He is inspired by Rick’s work and blended Indian Classical with Disco. Who all would bail me out on this.
@@ianrowland463 yup majority of the market is taken by big labels like tseries or sony and there commercial music. In india most famous songs are "movie" songs atleast till 2020 after that independent artists are emerging.
Deep House DJ's essential tune! They all have this at the ready ;-) We dig deep into the past because Deep House (and the like) has been around a bit longer than Chicago etc said ;-) Women Of The World by Double - Instrumental Mix (dub) is another example of Deep House from before the term House ;-) ... oh alright, Comateens - 'Get Off My Case' Duke Booty Dub - 1983 ;-) You Don't Know by Serious Intention was the first USA one that really set my set on fire as well from 1984 - those are the best early HOUSE tracks I played ;-) (and still play)
Footnote: And before anyone slag's down The Comateens, check-out how Steve Silk Hurley nicked the basic Get Off My Case structure for his own Jack Your Body 2 1/2 years later.........
Oh my days!!! Well, today is definitely a school day. I never knew this existed. I was reading a thread about the DJ Pierre/Mr. C rift, and Mr C had pointed this out as a good contender for the first acid track! I have to agree 👍
Can we take some time to appreciate that this guy basically discovered acid house...this was made about 8 yrs before acid house actually became a thing...he is seriously an unsung legend of music...!
about 4 years earlier than AcidTrax in Chicago but if no one heard it, he didn't exactly found a new style. It does make acid a bit less of an original phenomenon though and shows how much all of this stuff has a common ancestor in club disco. Pretty cool nonetheless.
What amazes me with this track is how TF he managed to program a 4 bar sequence this complicated on a 303 with out mistakes. Anyone who knows the 303 sequencer will be standing back and applauding this guy for just getting past 16 steps
The way it starts is just like being back in heavens or mud club in 88. Just seems bizarre that in 82 I was getting into electro and A couple of thousand miles away someone was making acid.
Pioneer of Acid House and Techno - this was played in Chicago by Ron Hardy at his "acid parties" circa 1985-86... and influenced DJ Pierre and Herb J (Phuture) in the creation of the classic "Acid Tracks" in 1986.
This man, Charanjit Singh, was one of the first musicians to own the infamous "Roland TB-303" in 1982, along with the Japanese musician Hideki Matsutake (Logic System), who in 1981 created this masterpiece: ruclips.net/video/ELVbJDAwI0E/видео.html
By tempering uppity disco beats with the complexity and contemplativeness of Indian Raagas, Chandrajit Singh essentially invented House music contemporaneously with DJs in Chicago/Detroit/NY. What a magician!
Me too man. Seeing how old this tune is made me feel ashamed of myself for not knowing of it before. I've been a techno purist for years and bad never heard anything about this. Shame on me. :(

...but didn't tell anyone
He didn't invent four on the floor , he copied the disco beat
@@littlemissgroove Yeah but apparently before most in the USA for that house or modern edm beat. x3
Pretty sure that the brothas in Chicago never heard of this when they invented acid house. Peace.

Very hard to believe that such music is of 1982 ,what a visionary he might be.
My favorite House music subgenre is made in my country 5 years before it was popularized in Chicago.
That’s not house music, it’s not even “acid sound”. It’s a disco beat that uses a 303 bassline.
Charanjit Singh RIP. 20 years ahead of his time. How many more Indian musicians and pioneers are out there, completely ignored by the West?
15 fuckin 194

This sounds closer to '90s acid house (with some Goa trance) than it does to '80s acid house, so I'd say it's a good 10 years ahead of its time.

Not really a pioneer, but the guy is better than The Beatles.
You are very right. It is a mix of Goa Trance and Acid House. Really amazing renditions. What a talent lost in the chasms of ignorance!
