Mosquito Massala @ Zenzi Mills - inde - Mumbai - 14/11/09

The Indian winter of 2007 was the perfect breeding ground for fertile ideas from like minded individuals Viktor Furiani, Uri a.k.a Dharmesh Solanki, Kris Correya & Erwan Roy, who then decided to put the ideas into practical use and created the identity Mosquito Massala.

The name, a humorous, cheesy take on of the prevailing sub tropical surroundings was actually the perfect subterfuge for a collective whose agenda was to use a dangerous hybrid of funky and psychedelic sounds and visuals influences from to urban to traditional backgrounds to create a platform for performances that encompassed the underbelly of all 3 cultures that was The U.K, India & France.

After starting to play and experiment in India in cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad and Goa in 2007, the fortunes of the collective took a positive leap in August 2008 when they got together to tour around eastern France with a trailer , tents and electronic gadgets, playing at different outdoor events like the Woodstower Festival (Lyon) /Visual Invaderz Festival (Albertville) and ending the tour in the U.K as the warm up act for super British drum & bass collective London Elektricity (Hospital Records).

On 21 May 2009, the MoM crew performed at the prestigious Les Nuits Sonores Lyon.
