Mehta’s approach to producing music is simple: quality not quantity. He carefully selects a succinct way to releasing his music versus flooding the market with a constant stream of meaningless releases. One of his most popular tracks to date was “Chaos Theory” on Kling Klong Records, which included a Rino Cerrone Remix. Both versions received heavy support from Richie Hawtin and Carl Cox. He’s also released projects on Brise, Under No Illusion, Loot Recordings, Smiley Fingers and Subjekt in the recent past.
Fast forward to today and Mehta is busy crafting new and exciting sounds. Above all else, he is committed to pushing his music forward, continuously exploring new ideas and evolving his style.
