BIO
From adapting South-Indian rhythms to the acoustic drumkit to constructing electronic drum-racks from South Indian percussion, Momin’s practice is the result of a twenty-year evolution. Drawing inspiration from the “Great Black Music” of the AACM (via his work with saxophonist
Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre) as well as
Indian percussive tradtions, Sunken Cages is a sonic ritual: a system of live-looped layers and improvised decisions where real-time research meets raw percussive trance.
Signed to Mahorka and Akuphone, he has recently been featured in Wire, The Fader, Resident Advisor and programmed at Big Ears Festival (US), LeGuessWho? (NL), Positive Futures Festival (AT.) Depeche Mode’s
commission for a remix led to occupying a rare position: equally recognized across electronic, global and avant-garde circuits without belonging fully to any of them. That refusal to be contained is not a liability, it is the
point.

“Meanwhile, lead single ‘The Source’ [ produced by Sunken Cages] is funk-infused from the get-go, electronic sounds saturating the empty space,
followed by a wailing sax, echoing dizzyingly around the beat.”
Memphis Magazine (Weekend Pick) (May 19, 2022)
“This show is a unique hybrid between live performance and production. You’ll also hear the influence of street sounds from underground dance music from Sao Paolo to Durban to Mumbai and beyond.
The masterful mix of acoustic and electronic drums and cultures makes for a musical experience not to miss.”
‡ Featured in Resident Advisor (Mar 8, 2021)
“In recent years, drummer and producer Ravish Momin, AKA Sunken Cages, has chalked up a solid track record of cross-breeding production techniques,
with an impressive level of innovation.”
