 Chaitanya Bulusu (aka Dj Chatty) perfectly personifies the new breed of electronic musician who has grown up in the digital age, using intuitive software programs like Reason, Fl Studio, VirtualDj, Acid PRo and Ableton to spontaneously express ideas and emotions. Online distribution has also made it possible for them to reach out and connect with audiences across the globe, no matter where they are - Panipat for example, where Chatty grew up amid the hustle and bustle of a city on the edge. His teenage years were spent listining Enigma , Enya, Deepforest , Illayaraja(Indian) in bands but this always meant compromise and he needed something more than that – something that would allow a purer form of self expression. At the time it was hard to hear good Ambient,dance and chillout music in some parts of India apart from one or two tracks that crossed over into the commercial clubs he sometimes visited with friends but that was enough to whet his appetite and he immediately got wrapped up in the beats, connecting with the music on a deeper level. He started exploring the electronic medium and became fascinated by how some DJs could apply their own peronal vision to the music, elevating it to an art form. This was exactly the inspiration he needed and he was soon experimenting with loops on his laptop, and buying records to dj with. However, deciding to become a techno producer/DJ in india was easier said than done. The equipment was very expensive and gigs were few and far between. It was very frustrating and he was close to quitting a few times but he found the right people at the right time and the solid advice they gave kept him motivated and focussed on his goal. It was to be a defining moment and from that point on his induction into the scene was fast and frenetic. He's releasing few of his samples and tracks on Sectionz global portal and is getting reviewed on the free net label Unfoundsound in not really knowing what to expect but something clicked, with the track "I move on" , "Dangerous Enemy" , "Angel Wish" , "Aura Of Purity" and "Droplets of Fire" in particular (rereleased on secionz two years later) grabbing the attention of many well known Artits. He soon made the step up to top 20 Secionz electronic Music all over the world. his "I move on" survived 3 weeks at first postion globally, Sep 2007 consolidating his position as a fresh, emerging talent. Listening to the Tracks of Dj Chatty , it’s clear he concentrates most energy into creating the powerful basslines that define his sound , and Signature distorted strings which is now a famous signature. His expansive use of reverb,Echo,Distorations and rythym on tracks without vocals and So Serial creates a massive space for the subtle percussive elements to skip and snake while distant, sometimes eerie melodies often occur on a random, secondary level as a result of these interacting elements. For Dj Chatty , the bottom line is to keep things simple and stay true to the old school minimalist approach that first got him hooked... And thats any day ENIGMA for him and wanted everyone to look at Enigma first for his Music.
