#HGPlaylist || Robby Banner

There may not be enough words in the English language to describe a soul and energy as large and vivacious as Robby Banner. I’ve known Robby from before the time I was too young to stay up at the party post 9, all the way to watching sunrises together in the desert skies - and to say that he is one of the best friends a person can have, doesn’t do him any justice. His love for life is as infectious as his laugh, and he will always come through when you’re looking for ‘that tune from that night that sounded kinda like that.’ Designer by day, and DJ at night, he truly owns his duality. Robby began spinning music while he was a student in New York, and has since developed a very signature sound. He remains highly inspired by Talvin Singh, Nitin Sawhney & Karsh Kale. He moved back to Bangalore, and has consistently pushed a deeper, underground sound. You’ll find Robby at Tao Terraces with all the techno and nudisco ammunition he can muster. His playlist is a little glimpse into the many different facets that make up Robby Banner.

Chiling with my mum: Whiter Shade of Pale - Procul Harum

This song was on loop all of my childhood - always think of my mum when I hear this

and really, it’s one of the endearing songs of the 70’s. A beautiful tune with some haunting

Hammond organ.

Nice Tune for Driving: Toploader - Dancing in the moonlight

One of the few instances where a cover/remake is better than the original (by King Harvest). Such a lovely upbeat, feel good kinda vibe - makes you smile and want to dance around with a goofy face!!

My go to happy tune: Solange-Losing You

What a beautiful song, and an equally amazing video. Solange is really overshadowed by her sister Beyonce, but she is really super talented. This song has such a lovely vibe!

Having a beer by the ocean: Groove Armada - At The River

If you grew up in the 90s this was the definte go-to chill track on all the CafeDelMar and Ibiza chill out Balearic CDs. Really beautiful laid back tune, shows how smart the GA Production is.

My Summer Brunch Vibe: Crazy P - Heartbreaker

Warm Disco groove vibes, just love the intro of this song. Get up and dance!

Play While I Work: Paper Aeroplane - Angus & Julia Stone

One of my favourite bands of the past 5 years. Quality music, melodies and amazing lyrics. Really, all their music is amazing and listenable but the hook on the guitar on this track makes it my all time favourite

Sultry Summer Balcony Vibes: Rodrigo Amarante - Tuyo Narcos OST

A sultry laid-back latino beat and tune, with some mesmerising lyrics. I have not clue what he is saying - but it sounds incredibly sexy and you can feel the emotion in his voice. Made popular by the TV Series Narcos - this is such a catchy tune.

Home Party Vibes: The Mother We Share (Moonboots Remix) - Chvrches

The moon boots remix of this track is such a nice mix of vocals and upbeat melodies that makes you want to get up and dance. Perfect to get the gang warmed up!!

Late Night Sexiness: Nightfall - Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx

Such a sexy tune. Dripping with Elektro and sexy vocals from Lovefoxx- this song is hard to resist. One of the sexiest intros for a track. Ever.

Unwind and de-compress: Aphex Twin - Flim

What a producer - Aphex Twin - really does all spectrums of the electronic with such amazing finesse a true producer. He has some amazing harder electronic music - but i totally love his softer side - so delicate and mesmerising. This tune is everything!
