Nahi Mitti - Aisaund Sings (2022)

Aisaund Sings is the debut album by UK-based DJ, producer and cultural practitioner Nahi Mitti. Following a string of exceptional self-released work, and the development of her unique style of DJing as heard on her mixes for discwoman and for Anu’s NTS show, the album aggregates the artist's explorations of expression through tempo, dynamics and prettiness into a focussed/blurry journey into stor(i/ey)ed sonic ecosystems.

Taking particular inspiration from concerns and structures of dance, rnb and gidha music(s), Aisaund Sings is a collection of the rumours of its inhabitants, with truths as weather and presence like archaeology, one that frequently remembers and/or forgets the body and the club.

Nahi Mitti would add, reading slowly and shuffling loudly through sparse notes: Aisaund is said to sing with more/less nerves/nervous system... resonance, depending on ... the humidity... “like a flute sings”? ... or maybe a phone (dry/wet), Aisaund sings ... something something ... diaspora... something... “Aisaund doesn’t sing”: ... Aisaund sings... ?
