Elastica Dub & Sarod Mystics - Tales Of Raj

  

Produced together with the Indian trio Sarod Mystics, Tales of the Raj was born in the heart of Udaipur, Rajasthan — a land of deserts, camels, Maharajas, and timeless architecture where ancient and modern worlds intertwine. Always in search of ancestral sounds and instruments beyond the Western tradition,

Elastica Dub found new inspiration in this journey. Days spent with local musicians, wandering through markets and ancient palaces, gave life to a music that tells of real encounters, lived moments, and cross-cultural dialogues.

The album blends the deep vibrations of Dub Music with the mystical harmonies of the Sarod, an ancient Indian instrument mastered by only a few. Meeting one of these rare players became the spark for a unique sound experience — pulsing basslines, hypnotic echoes, and spiritual melodies that carry the listener through a vivid, imaginative soundscape.

Tales of the Raj is an immersive journey, a bridge between distant worlds that meet through music to tell stories of freedom, discovery, and universal connection.
