Lifafa is the solo project of Peter Cat Recording Co frontman Suryakant Sawhney. Lifafa offers a mix of acoustic folk elements and old-school disco layered with a baritone voice that can be angsty and meditative at the same time. Suryakant Sawhney started out as a filmmaking student in San Francisco only to return to his India as a musician with many influences. In 2013, during his holidays he first started recording jazz music for Peter Cat Recording Co. which is a New Delhi hemp jazz outfit. Now it's perhaps the most experimental band in the country. They have a longstanding history of giving you what everyone least expects them to. In tradition with that, frontman Suryakant unveiled his solo electronic project called Lifafa. Something that he says is radically different from what he created as a part of his former musical outfit.

Gifted with a singular baritone, and somehow capable of balancing that, guitar duties, and live sampling and loops, his sonic landscape doesn't sound or feel like anything else. Disco, soul, and shoegaze are all reference points, but none really characterize his sound. His music has taken him across Europe and Asia, but for this set he aims to do something a little different.
