LA rapper Mandeep Sethi, who takes the stage name SETI X, took us by surprise earlier this year when he fit right into Karsh Kale’s “Peekaboo,” a jazzy, slow burner that featured on the second season of Coke Studio@MTV. Sethi jammed with the likes of drummer Jai Row Kavi, vocalists Apeksha Dandekar and Benny Dayal and guitarist Warren Mendonsa on “Peekaboo,” which turned out to be a seamless collaboration given the diverse elements that made it to the track including a sitar section by Ravi Chary.
Last month, Sethi released the video for “Mobilize,” yet another inspiring collaboration with Janaka Selekta, one half of the San Francisco/Mumbai-based electronica group, Gods Robots. “Mobilize” has some sitar, tablas and sarangi too, but it’s the mix that really impressed us; the crowd-pleasing bass growls and slaps are loud enough to get the floor going, but never overpower Sethi’s rhymes. - Rolling Stone
