Ctrl+Alt+Del is the psytrance project of Vishaal Turakhia. Originally from Bombay (India), he was first exposed to electronic music when he discovered Prodigy’s - Fat of The Land 12â€. From that moment, all other genres of music were put on the back burner. He set out to explore other forms of “intelligent†electronic music and was addicted to high-tech and cutting-edge electronic sounds from the likes of – Prodigy, State of Bengal, Talvin Singh, Massive Attack, Leftfield, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada and many others…
The period of true enlightenment was when he immersed himself into the burgeoning Psy-Trance culture in Bombay in 1999. After frequenting several underground psy-parties, he realized the potential of this form of music. He most identified with the Swedish sound (ie - Logic Bomb, Hux-Flux, Chromosome etc.), which was intensely psychedelic with twisted sounds and an edgy twilight/morning flavour. He began collecting psychedelic tunes and started dj-ing at parties in Bombay.
The desire to channel the passion for psy into a creative force led to the development of “Ctrl+Alt+Del.†After years of spinning psy, he began tinkering away at the computer, spending endless hours experimenting with DAWs + VSTs. While in college in New York, Vishaal often collaborated with his friend Peter Terlaak-Poot (a Violin prodigy) to add a “Classical-Goa†sound to his projects. Eventually a unique sound was developed.
The project aims at producing top-notch intelligent twilight blasters that will surely tweak the brain! The project’s 1st track was signed by Shift for Nexus-Media’s upcoming compilation – Midnight Storm III. Ctrl+Alt+Del is finally ready to explode onto the global psy-trance scene!
