Todh Teri

Todh Teri is a boundary-pushing Indian electronic music producer and live performer, known for reviving cinematic sounds from the golden age of Indian cinema and transforming them for the modern dance floor. With a unique ear for vintage disco and cabaret from Indian cinema, Todh Teri blends these timeless melodies with deep house, acid, and funk, crafting edits that are as nostalgic as they are dancefloor-ready.

Operating under a pseudonym that cheekily translates to "I'll break you," Todh Teri’s work is both playful and deeply rooted in cultural homage. His music retains the essence of beloved classics while injecting them with new energy—preserving their flavor but presenting them in a completely contemporary context. Through his celebrated ‘Deep In India’ vinyl series, he’s released a series of Sampadan (meaning "edits" in Hindi) on Masala Movement that serve as soulful reimagining of India's rich musical past.

Todh Teri's live performances are hardware-driven and immersive, relying on synthesizers, drum machines, and software to deliver expressive, evolving sets that have lit up clubs from Berlin to Mumbai. His grooves are carefully crafted to resonate with both seasoned ravers and new listeners alike.

As the Deep In India project expands digitally and his global footprint grows, Todh Teri is poised for a new chapter—preparing fresh releases, a new EP, and worldwide touring. With each track, he digs deeper into forgotten soundtracks, ensuring the spirit of Indian cinematic music not only survives, but thrives on today’s dance floors.
