Slides is an EP reflecting upon the drudgery and monotony that initially takes hold of a person upon spending extended periods of time in solitude. And the transition from there to epiphanies as to "What is going on?".

The EP primarily showcases lo-fi hip hop beats and trip hop, and is the first EP by Owlist aka Nitesh Jhurani.

This week's featured release is a fresh HipHop & Jazz fusion single, "Aamras", the latest single by Ranchi based artist, Rishabh Lohia aka The Mellow Turtle featuring Sumit Singh Solanki aka Tre Ess. The  track is inspired by summers in Ranchi & musically starts off being very tropical and progresses into a grimy beat. Lyrically Sumit raps about drawing similarities between the pleasures and struggles of pursuing experimental music in Jharkhand and having stable relationships.

Lyrics -

Sunflower eyed like fell from the sky
We don't need to rush, you take all of your time
I shoot all of the tries, I do better in marathons
We could run away if the shoe fit
Saw Cinderella marching by the cupid
The love or the passion, who would you pick?
The work got me treating you foolish
Spoils of the better riches if I ever hit the lick
15 steps away from my 15 minutes
Came a long way from growing around killers
City been a savage, taught me never play the victim 
From houses that got no pillars, from couches made out of hustle
What's art without the struggle?
Same drops flow here if you ask me
Embrace worst to the best, know I might be
A god in the flesh when Mellow hype me
Writing up a mess when you ain't by me

lost in mumbai.

मुंबई में खो गया।

I'm used to waking up to the sound of traffic in the morning.
Lately, it's been birdsongs.
A sense of weird calm followed by the realization of the times we are living in. Brings a scream to the mind,
Of being caged.
Trips between being chill, jarred by moments of helplessness?

Dreamy Quarantines

Anyone who has caught the enigmatic Babloo Babylon live has beared witness to the anonymous producer and DJ’s knack for interspersing film dialogues between climatic oomph of Bollywood edits in his DJ sets to bring the spirit of 70s and 80s’ noirs to the dancefloor. Behind the decks, Babloo is a storyteller with a unique voice, which compensates for his hidden identity.

Recognising and utilising the difference in context between mixing for a live event and curating a mix for an online platform like ours, Babloo changes his approach on his Wild City mix to get more candid and just share a playlist of film classics he loves.

The penchant for scrupulous structuring doesn’t entirely escape him though. Borrowing segments of varying length from the works of the likes of Usha Uthup, Asha Bhosle, Ilayaraja, RD Burman and Bappi Lahiri, Babloo’s mix is a demonstration of the colourfulness of Indian film music and an exercise in revamping the flow of its titles. For instance, the spoken word intro of Bappi Lahiri, Vijay Benedict and Alisha Chinoy’s ‘Zindagi Meri Dance’ (the only modern exception in the track list) breaks out into a raucous drum solo instead of a steady disco rhythm like in its original form. Building familiarity in the listener’s mind by curating known-numbers and then subverting all expectations by introducing a surprising element is what makes Babloo Babylon’s Wild City mix an exciting way of rediscovering classics.
