Vinayak Karthikayan's (AKA Vinayaka) musical journey began at a young age, learning the Tabla, Guitar and Harmonium. Raised in an entirely Indian classical atmosphere gave him a rooted knowledge of rhythm and melody.

His big break came In November 2008 when he produced a track called "What's Stopping You" which was signed to the legendary Baroque Records. It was released in January 2009 and was a major release for Vinayaka as he got massive support from the greats like Eric Prydz, Daniel Portman, Solarity and many other top DJs and producers. "What's Stopping You" was in the Beatport Top 100 for 3 weeks. 

Vinayaka has since gone on to remix the likes of Evren Ulusoy, Solarity and Joel Armstrong. He has received support from the world's premier DJs including: John Digweed, Robert Babicz, Andy Newland, Hernan Cattaneo, Rafael Noronha, Oliver Klein, Cid Inc, Tiesto, Above and Beyond, Gareth Emery and Andy Moor.

Never Turn Your Back is debut on Spherax records and comes with a great selection of mixes from: Cid Inc., Ben Coda and Pietro Coppola. Vinayaka's original is is warped and druggy sounding progressive tune with a very cool vocal sample that makes the track. It's full energy and your dancefloor will certainly follow suit, superb work from Vinayaka. Cid Inc. continues on a run of amazing productions with a really cool interpretation here. A somewhat deeper and spacier vibe here than on Vinayaka's Original. The sound design is really fresh as you would expect from Cid Inc. and Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo are on it so you probably should be too! Ben Coda does what he does best here by taking the best elements from the original and creating a much funkier, clubbier vibe that still has the cool factor but is also accessible to a very wide range of dancefloors. This mix really makes the package and allows for so many more Djs to play the track. Lastly Pietro Coppola delivers a more progressive trance rework which definately steps the energy levels up but still is not over the top or cheesy in any way. Markus Schulz with support on this one. Spherax Records continues to grow and this is another fabulous release!
