Sub Shanti was created when two energetic young musicians
were drawn together by the magic of music city, Nashville, TN.
Following the signs from the Astral Daze lead to a release of a
truly one-of-a-kind electronic global album Remover of Obstacles,
blending Indian music and theory to an ever evolving electronic
music revolution. The name Sub Shanti evolved from the
transcendental experience that Dex and Saum feel when in the
presence of banging bass from subwoofers (Sub) and peaceful
melodies and instrumentals (Shanti).
Sub Shanti members include the cosmic minds of Dex and Saum G. On stage Dex
bangs out beats and samples from the midi-controller. Only producing since ’05,
Dex has already composed a diverse repertoire of original melodies, beats, bleeps,
and bass-lines; genre-bending anything from trip-hop, glitch, to dubstep. Saum G is
an electronic producer of dance manifestations. He has an innate ability to bring his
electronic techniques to life through a talent that is hard to match. In addition to his
technical production abilities, Saum plays live cello at every performance. Saum
studied with prestigious master Hans Jorgen Jenson at the Meadowmount School
of Music, where Yo Yo Ma and other notable artists learned. If Sub Shanti isn’t
lounging in their home studios, they are likely to be found rocking crowds.
Sub Shanti not only offers us amazing music, but provides the audience with
a unique show. Inspired by an abundance of talent, Sub Shanti draws influence
from national electronic acts like Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, DeadMau5, Tipper,
Rusko, and Sphongle while maintaining a balance of global music influences like
Ravi Shankar, Bickram Ghosh, Zakhir Hussein, and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan.
