10 Ragas To a Disco Beat

Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

In 1982, Charanjit Singh released ‘Synthesizing: Ten Ragas To a Disco Beat’ which is my favorite acid house album. (There are a lot of words in that sentence that don’t go together.) It was a marketplace flop from a musician & composer who otherwise had a long & successful career in the Indian 🇮🇳 music & film industries.

I love talking about flops. Learning about & talking about flops makes me feel better. It gives me hope that so many of the things considered failures or “bad” often are really just out of phase - ahead or behind the rest of the world at the time of their release or invention.

Not like a hoarder. (I suppose this is relative…) I don’t believe I have a problem (Doesn’t everyone who has a problem say that?) If I do have a problem, it started in earnest around 1984-85 when I got my 1st “real” synthesizer. So it’s an honest, long-standing problem.
