Unnayanaa

Pallemoni, known to the world as Unnayanaa, is a DJ, Producer and in his own words, an experimentalist. His love for Afro-beat, House, Brazilian and Jazz along with an unconventional approach of morphing ethnic sounds with electronic music has seen his popularity rise as the flag bearer of African and African-influenced electronic music in India.

Growing up in a household listening to his mother’s classical trained voice along with records and spool tapes brough home by his father, Unnayanaa found sanctum and inspiration through music. His ability to translate abstract ideas into a relatable format for a cross section of listeners and his unconventional approach to morphing sounds into one another has helped him create a signature style of DJing and producing music. He is currently working on music that he recorded during his travels through Ethiopia and Congo along with a monthly radio show, Syncopate, on boxout.fm

Unnayanaa has released music on labels like Borders of Light (Italy), Itstillmusic (Chicago), Papa Records (London), Rainy City Music (Manchester), and Atypical Dopeness (New York) and his music has been remixed by the likes of Toto Chiavetta, Osunlade, and Ivory. His 2018 release “Taht Min Aini” was much sought after and along with a slew of previous releases, has paved its way to the playlists of DJs such as Solomun, Ame, Dixon, Trikk, and more.

“A true turntablist, he brings alive a rare set of vinyl treasures, traversing through genres.”
