Ninja Tune

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

Sarathy Korwar is a US-born, Indian-raised, London-based drummer, percussionist, composer and bandleader. With his unique blend of jazz, hip-hop, and Indian classical music influences, Sarathy has carved out a distinctive sound that captivates audiences worldwide.

His music draws inspiration from artists such as Ill Considered, Sons Of Kemet, Binker and Moses, Shabaka and the Ancestors, Theon Cross, Nubya Garcia and many more. Sarathy's compositions are known for their intricate rhythms and mesmerizing melodies.

Whether performing solo or with his band, Sarathy's live shows are an immersive experience that transport listeners to new sonic landscapes. His innovative approach to music-making has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

The extraordinary debut album from percussionist, drummer and producer Sarathy Korwar - Day To Day - fuses traditional folk music of the Sidi community in India (combining East African, Sufi and Indian influences) with jazz and electronics. It's a collaborative release by Ninja Tune with The Steve Reid Foundation - a charitable trust established by Brownswood / Gilles Peterson with the dual objective of helping musicians in crisis and also supporting emerging talent. Sarathy is an alumnus of the Foundation's development program, mentored by Four Tet, Emanative, Floating Points, Koreless and Gilles Peterson - all trustees of the foundation.

It is fitting that Sarathy's album follows the lineage and spirit of Reid who himself left New York and took on a spiritual pilgrimage through Africa in the mid-1960s. For three years he journeyed through West Africa, playing with people along the way, including Fela Kuti, Guy Warren and Randy Weston. The musical roots and routes of the Black Atlantic have been discussed and documented extensively, but Sarathy is highlighting a different dispersal of people in the other direction, from East Africa to India. The Sidis travelled to India from Africa as merchants, sailors, indentured servants and mercenaries from as far back as 628 AD and have settled in India ever since. Day To Day is an exceptional debut by this multi-percussive artist fusing jazz, electronic and Indian harmonics.
