A fresh release that blends Eastern traditions with Western beats.
This isn’t the first time the Indian project Aatma has turned to folk music. However, in collaboration with Manuel Villar Lifac, this mix sounds particularly polished. We’re talking about the track “When I Found Myself.”
Aatma & Manuel Villar Lifac bring India and the dance floor together in “When I Found Myself”
Artist: Aatma, Manuel Villar Lifac

Genre: Electronic
Style: Progressive House / Melodic House & Techno

Most producers use folk samples merely as decoration. Here, the situation is different. Manuel Villar Lifac is responsible for the live sitar parts. And this isn’t just a passing element—it’s the structural backbone of the composition. The artists have preserved the authenticity of traditional music while integrating it into the modern melodic standards of progressive house.
It doesn’t sound like a DJ trick, but like a concept. Deep melodies. Dynamic development. A balance between atmosphere and drive.
This is a festival groove. Perfect for a Melodic House & Techno DJ set when you need to amp up the energy but maintain an intellectual vibe.
