Parisian producer The Marv pays heartfelt homage to legendary Indian composer Ilaiyaraja on A King of Tunes (Ragadevan), released in 2014 via Still Muzik. After discovering Ilaiyaraja's prolific output — spanning film scores from the '70s, '80s, and '90s — The Marv was captivated by his remarkable range and groove, inspiring her to craft this tribute EP in his honor. The title itself references "Ragadevan," the revered title meaning "King of Tunes" bestowed upon Ilaiyaraja.
Blending electronic and hip-hop sensibilities, The Marv carefully weaves breaks and melodies drawn from Ilaiyaraja's vast catalog into a cohesive and deeply personal collection of tracks. The result is a genre-crossing listening experience that bridges Parisian electronic music culture with the rich tradition of Indian cinema composition, making it a compelling release for fans of boundary-pushing, sample-driven music.
