Digging In India

New Delhi’s Nishant Mittal is a man of many hats: a sound artist working under the moniker PILLS, a vintage enthusiast and an ardent purveyor of India’s overlooked musical heritage in styles like psychedelia, jazz, funk, rock n’ roll and disco, which he is known to showcase through his role as a selector, radio host and vinyl-digging patron under the alias “Digging In India”.

The 25-year-old identifies primarily, however, as a record collector, with his utmost interest lying in digging and discovering rare grooves, obscure sounds, undercuts and anything old, whimsical and weird from his country.
