He’s got the whole world in his hands went the song. But in Vishvarupa’s case it’s kind of true. Vishvarupa is considered the supreme form of Vishnu, where the whole Universe is described as contained in him. The universe of house is what you get in the track of the same name from Sun Kin.
For those like me not up on the ins and outs of Hinduism, Wiki explains that, “Vishvarupa (“Universal-form”), also known popularly as Vishvarupa Darshan, Vishwaroopa and Virata rupa, is an iconographical form and theophany of the Hindu god Vishnu or his avatar Krishna. Though there are multiple Vishvarupa theophanies, the most celebrated is in the Bhagavad Gita, “the song of God”, given by Krishna in the epic Mahabharata, which was told to Pandava Prince Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra in the war in the Mahabharata between the Pandavas and Kauravas.”
Sun Kin is Los Angeles based producer Kabir Kumar. Born in Bombay, India and raised in five different countries. His work takes from folk, acid house and R&B. That gives it an indefinable quality. Vishvarupa is the final track from the After The House album.
It’s a vibrant house track that revels in early acid house’s magpie tendencies and wastes no time in getting going. There are some Rhodes chords but soon followed by bass ridden almost 80s style beats and all manner of electronic accessories and chimes. It was written “on the hottest day ever recorded.” but manages to avoid getting over-heated or all hot and bothered. The whole thing has a beatific smile on its face as beats and chimes chase themselves round the track. The gods should look kindly on this track.
