Bhajan Bhoy

plus Radhika

and Normal Service

Wednesday 15th April at The Glad Cafe

Ajay Saggar has been making music under the moniker BHAJAN BHOY since 2020, releasing eight albums and touring around the globe. As a member of both Water Damage and CHELA, he appeared on 3 consecutive nights at Le Guess Who? festival in November 2024, and performed there again in his Bhajan Bhoy guise in 2025 to glowing reviews:

MOJO magazine : “Bhajan Bhoy delivers a highly affecting and brilliant set”

The Quietus : “Fridays’s highlight…an immersive experience that pulses with cosmic illumination”

Bhajan Bhoy’s music ploughs a peak time psychedelic furrow; from lazy interstellar ragas to lysergic electronic music, mellow psychedelic experimentation and all sorts of kosmische mutations. His new album, “Meditations” will be released on 17 April 2026 on Cardinal Fuzz (UK) / Feeding Tube Records (USA).

“With BHAJAN BHOY, Saggar synthesizes all of the stylistic approaches he’s explored over the years, swirling them into an intoxicating musical blend, with an earthy spirituality. Even the project’s name reflects the dual aspects of Saggar’s upbringing coming together in harmony. In Hindi, a “bhajan” is a devotional song, sung in the mandir, or temple, while “bhoy” is a Scottish and Irish derivation for a young man. There’s a searching quality to Bhajan Bhoy, as if Saggar is still hunting for transcendence with each track, whether through an expansive drone, an orchestral facility on the piano, or an electronics-augmented raga that threatens to dip into noise” (Erick Bradshaw / writer and WFMU DJ).
