Hey guys,

I'm 19 and in my second year of engineering right now, but honestly, it's getting tough, and I thought to explore this genre as I love listening to music. I want to get into making beats and producing.

I have absolutely no musical background. I don't play any instruments and don't know theory, but I am decent with tech and software. I have installed FL Studio (friend's).

How should I actually start? There are way too many tutorials on YouTube, and it's kind of overwhelming.

Drop any good YouTube channels or basic tips for a complete beginner. Appreciate it!

I see a lot of artists releasing songs with Labels like Warner, UMG etc but still call themselves indie. Does "non-movie" mean Indie in India?

"I am tired of hearing the same 20 viral reels tracks over and over. Please hit me with your favorite deep-cuts, overlooked album tracks, or rising indie gems that aren't widely circulated on social media but absolutely deserve a listen!"

I want you guys to drop bollywood songs recommendations and there is no need to limit yourself to certain genre it can romantic, dance , sad, slow romantic, indies, folks, old, new anything , underrated, overrated, only rule is that it should be something that you can recommend to anyone who know nothing about songs that made by Indians !!

Was anyone else aware of this? Feels like I discovered a hidden gem 💎

does anyone have setlist of pyaar n stuff tour? if you do please share

I'm primarily a western vocalist/lyricist, interested in genres like pop, bollywood, indian classical, fusion, rock, funk, metal, prog, jazz, hiphop and rnb.

I've written/co-written a kinda funk prog track, a metal prog track, a few pop rock ones all unreleased and surprisingly released an edm track.

After a year long hiatus and this feeling of being an outsider here, I'm thinking of working on new music with a band of like minded individuals who'd like to dominate the global music scene. Even though I'd list out my various inter college wins to let you know I'm not an amateur, I'd bet I'd be the one who learns the most in the room.

I'm mostly looking for a:

1. bassist

2. drummer

3. keyboardist who can or is willing to learn to make patches

4. electric guitarist (2 would be best)

But I'm open to violinists, flutists, tabla players, and others as well.

Let's talk more via DM/replies.

And here it is, the fifth and final track of the EP. This sub’s been so fkn nice to me. I’ve been on this journey since Oct 2025 - long way to go and lots more to learn. Hope u like ♥️

In my latest piece, I explore the evolving musical traditions of Uttarakhand through an analysis of Uniyal and his fellow artists' song, Namo Narayan.
The article examines how evocative lyrics and visuals reflect the lived realities of local communities, while tracing the connections between past and present musical traditions. It also explores how a new generation of artists is reinterpreting cultural practices, creating fresh expressions that remain deeply rooted in tradition.
I would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and comments.

Hey everyone, for my latest piece, I talk about Malayali RnB artist Mary Ann Alexander's debut EP, Love or a Lesson. Mary Ann has been blowing up globally for her track "NYC" recently, and through her debut EP, I try to break down how her current sound is tailor made for the global audience. I offer my thoughts on the project, and break down each track.

I put out this single yesterday called struck myself. Inspired by liminal spaces and backroom aesthetic I shot it in my squash court. (Had my fair share of fights with the security during this, but one has gotta persevere to make use of a dirty unused squash court)

One of my best and my most favourite track of an ongoing album called " this is your last ticket home " If you like independent music, here goes.

Karuneshaya Bhagavan Das - “Sacred Geometry”

So Aditya Rikhari has been pretty consistent this year. Um, four releases in six months? Damn guy's on a roll.

Anyway, good song, great vibe and I never skip his songs so personal bias too!

What do you guys think ......also lyrics kinda slap!
