Abhi Meer, from the island city of Mumbai, is a touring DJ and one of India’s most discerning music journalists and critics. Alongside documenting the growth of alternative music in India, he’s toured both locally and internationally, playing alongside artists as diverse as Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez, Call Super, Paula Temple and Oskar Offermann. Abhi is also a professional researcher of music technology and a collector of records who opines about music for national daily The Hindu and does the same (more acerbically) at his own blog nohero.in. His other obsessions include modular synthesizers, Neo-Expressionism, Carl Jung and Larry David.

This will be his second time at dublab showcasing a range of music from the Indian subcontinent.
