In an era when house music is largely been dominated by continental names, it’s refreshing to see a British talent shine through and gain the global acclaim they so very deserve. Anil Chawla is exactly that – a homegrown star whose steady rise has been all about quietly consistent quality, not flavour-of-the-month hype.There was no quick and easy break for Anil – just a steady stream of ear-catching, high-quality house music demos passed around London’s promoters, and a subsequent booking at the legendary Turnmills (R.I.P.) That booking led on to a residency at the acclaimed Together nights – where he had the both envious and unenvious task of warming up for electronic music royalty as diverse as The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Francois K, Trentemoller, Josh Wink, Green Velvet, Simian Mobile Disco, Mylo, Hot Chip, MSTRKRFT, and Cassius. He calls it his “apprenticeship” – and indeed it proved invaluable experience, these high-profile warm-up sets bolstering his ever-growing peak time appearances elsewhere.
