The bass tacks

A Mumbai duo has launched a pleasing drum ‘n’ bass album with big-ticket collaborators
Dhir Mody
It’s fitting that when a drummer and a bassist form an outfit together, the genre that they choose is drum ‘n’ bass. What’s also fitting is them naming the act Drum Ani Bass. That’s what Dhir Mody and Nathan Thomas have done, joining forces to release an album called 1403, the address of the flat where they made most of their music.
It features big-ticket collaborators such as virtuoso guitarist Warren Mendonsa and the late keyboard genius, Karan Joseph. But the core of the record remains Mody’s dexterity on the drum set and Thomas’s proficiency with electronic elements.
The tracks oscillate between dance-floor stompers like 108.9 and more melodious, easy-listening ones like Mind of no mind. This is a genre that still hasn’t taken off in India like, say, hip-hop has. But with acts like Drum Ani Bass emerging on the scene, it’s only a matter of time before it shifts towards the mainstream after existing in the margins.
