Before his newfound success as a chart-topping artist, Vineet AKA Vineet Singh Hukmani was the co-founder, MD and CEO of 94.3 Radio One, India’s only international-format radio station. When I first heard his August release WTF or Where’s The Fun (And not what you’re thinking),…
Earlier this year we had spoken to Big Greg and his collaboration with LaTruth on their single OH NO. Big Greg is out with a new single, but before we review it, we thought we'd have a fireside chat with the Indie hip-hop artist from…
We're back after a much needed break and we couldn't have asked for a better reboot than a "sit-down" with the omnicompetent Rohan Solomon, erstwhile frontman of the New Delhi alt-rock band Cyanide. (Well, him at his place and us at ours!) For the uninitiated,…
At a time when real instruments are simulated on digital audio workstations with plugins, I've often wondered what electronic music would sound like if played on real instruments. Somewhere in the early 2010s, I chanced upon The Showhawk Duo, doing acoustic guitar covers of chartbusting…
Every so often, we're treated to music that seriously messes with our heads. We'd count Dogma by Pink Amphibians as one of them. With a track as calm as a breezy evening and Morcheeba by the sea married to lyrics that can only be described…

Meet Toshi Yimchunger, a recording artist and songwriter from Dimapur, Nagaland, whose latest single Work It Out is making us crave the golden age of R&B, i.e. the 90s, again. Remember the days when the soulful offerings of Boys II Men, Babyface, Montell Jordan, Craig…
Portland-based singer Alex Whiler's debut EP Look Me In The Eye had sort of become a soundtrack to our lives during the past few weeks, and especially when we travelled out of the city for the first time since March 2020. We had Whiler's Spotify…
Chandigarh-based musician Shubham Semwal’s debut EP Elephant in the Room is a force to be reckoned with, especially his title track Pull Me In (feat. Julie Ngurang), an uplifting ballad (If there ever was one!) that stands tall in the otherwise passable ‘Indipop in English’…
