FILM a.k.a. Sanil Sudan is a New Delhi based DJ, Producer and former curator at the two mainstays for electronic music in the capital. Sudan makes dancefloor-friendly House, Breaks and IDM under the alias FILM. To celebrate old Detroit techno through leaner productions, Sudan uses the moniker Tyrell Dub Corp.
His debut eponymous album FILM (2022, Qilla Records) was a cohesive 52 minutes of ambient pads, zig-lining techno and old-school breaks, as he shifted gears towards a more songwriting approach. The LP was well received by Resident Advisor, Bolting Bits, Groove Mag, Ransom Note, named Best New Music by indie pioneering zine A Humming Heart – as well as featured with artist profiles – in the New Indian Express / Morning Standard and The Indian Music
Diaries. Mixmag supported Sudan’s full-length effort as “intelligently composed and brimming with atmosphere throughout” and hailed the album as “fine work from FILM and an excellent addition to the ever-growing Qilla inventory.” Indian tastemaker publication the Wild City praised the album’s ability to “make distinct statements through its genre-traversing instrumental offerings.” Rolling Stone rated the album 4 stars and labelled it “among the most exciting electronic records out this year” as they rounded it in the top 15 Indian albums at #9 of last year. FILM recorded a techno and garage heavy set, in momentum of the release cycle for DJ Mag that said the album’s “13 cuts of hi-def electronic music feel thematically rich, while still packing a hefty punch.”
