If you’re just as tired of standing in long concert queues amongst sweaty and rambunctious people all cramped up together as we are then we’ve got a more intimate fix for you. Laced with distinct rhythm, timbre and rich sounds Far Out Left, the boutique music festival is back with its second edition. Curated by Regenerate Music in collaboration with Social, the festival brings together an eclectic mix of international and homegrown artists who have been shattering the boundaries of electronic music and producing unequivocally alternative sounds. 

The festival will be held against the backdrop of The Great Eastern Home in Mumbai, the majestic space that encompasses 176 years of Indian history on 15th and 16th November. The grounds will transform into a hub that fosters creativity and promotes inclusivity in EDM. The deliberately inanimate beats that bring together the pulse of a wide variety of enthusiasts will connect communities.

Anastasia Kristensen: The Moscow born- Copenhagen based DJ and music producer has been rising the ranks rapidly since the past few years for her revitalizing take on booming techno. It was her formal training in ballet that increased her curiosity for the arts and aided in developing a deeper sense of harmony and melody. A regular DJ at Copenhagen’s Culture Box and the queer party Mainstream, she has performed extensively through North America and across Europe. The whizz kid for techno, she believes her sets ought to have a narrative to make the crowd go wild.
