EZ RISER

Launched in Oct 2012, EZ Riser is the solo project of Sohail Arora pushing cutting edge electronic music with a heavy emphasis on bass. Sohail Arora got exposed to Bass music during his days of working with Blue Frog & Zenzi, the iconic music venues of Mumbai. By 2008, Sohail had co-founded Bay Beat Collective, one of India's most influential Bass crews, dabbling in styles ranging from drum n bass to dubstep with a partiality to 'phat basslines'. BBC went onto play some of the most important bass gigs in the country including support for The Prodigy, Chase & Status, Pendulum, London Elektricity, Concord Dawn, and many more.

EZ Riser aims to showcase newer forms of electronic music with particular focus on beats, footwork, drum & bass, half-time, trap, hip hop and global bass.A self confessed music geek and heavily influenced by artists such as DJ Rashad, Clap Clap, Zinc, Machinedrum, Addison Groove, Mala, Om Unit, Ivy Lab, Romare, Flako, J Dilla, Danny Scrilla, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Egoless and many more, EZ Riser’s spectrum of music is highly versatile.

As the founder of KRUNK, India's foremost alternative booking agency and events crew, Sohail & KRUNK have been instrumental in producing and elevating some of the biggest and most prolific talent in India. So- hail also runs India's only dedicated bass estival called Bass Camp Festival. Bass Camp has expanded to 10 Cities of India by 2017.

EZ Riser has played at India's top venues like antiSOCIAL (Mumbai), Auro (Delhi), High Spirits Cafe (Pune), The Humming Tree (Bangalore) and has also performed at renowned festivals like Magnetic Fields, NH7 Weekender, VH1 Supersonic, Amsterdam Dance Event, Goa Sunsplash Festival & Appa Art Fes- tival to name a few.

Also, he has toured all across the world performing in places such as Bar-a Bar (UK) , Rosis Berlin (Ger- many), The Villa (Norway), Winston Kingdom (Netherland), Canvas Club (Singapore), Cross Club (Czech Republic), Anilana (Srilanka), Jamrock (Malta), Under 9 (Malaysia), Heavy Hongkong (Hong Kong) and has also played at Europe’s leading festivals like Jungle Flash Festival (Slovenia) Mela Festival (Norway),Modern Sky Festival (Finland), Outlook Festival & Dimensions Festival (Croatia).

Ultimately, it's EZ Riser's fidelity to the low end that ties his sound (and most probably life) together.
