Mumbai, 25^th September 2024: In a world where electronic music is evolving at a breakneck pace, Delhi-based producer and DJ Karan Dhingra, better known as House of Tuneman, has carved out a unique niche. His latest EP Rover, featuring two dynamic tracks, Moon Chaser and Maneye, showcases his ability to fuse ethnic sounds with Afro-inspired grooves. The EP is out with Cafe De Anatolia, a record label from North Macedonia.

Moon Chaser transports listeners to a serene world inspired by the tranquillity of night-time wanderings. With a captivating blend of Indian and Afro sounds, it reflects Tuneman’s vision of a solo traveller, weaving together the cultural diversity they experience along the way. The track features Indian instruments such as the Ghatam, Bansuri (flute), and Tabla, seamlessly combined with Afro instruments like the Djembe, Doshu shakers, and claps.

According to Tuneman, the inspiration behind Moon Chaser comes from the peacefulness of the night. “Nights are more peaceful and serene to wander”, he explains, naming the track after his experience of chasing the calm, celestial beauty of the moon.

Maneye is a high-energy afro house track featuring a groovy mix of Afro percussion, wooden claps, and shakers, Layered with Latin drums and driving Afro vocals, the track’s infectious rhythm is a call to the dance floor, inviting listeners to lose themselves in its pulsating energy.
