Bomphcast 097: Surana

Bomphcast

After a refreshing summer break, Bomphcast is backing hitting the ground running. Surana, real name Lucky Pereira, is the 97th guest on the series. From Melbourne, Surana is a session drummer and percussionist. It's his interest in beats and rhythm that lead Lucky to techno music, as he saw a strong connection between his craft and the genre. I like this quote from his artist's bio: "Guided by his South Asian and African Heritage, Surana was inspired by Lucky’s love for techno after hearing similarities in the way rhythms interact and create unity within music and people. This feeling, a driving force behind his invigorating sound." His mix is awash with energetic rhythms, dark textures as it moves through various moods and moments.
