I do my best to create things of meaning to myself and through that hopefully to others. I do my best to keep my head out of the game and give the stage to my heart. I do my best to enjoy now and be present as much as i can. I do my best to do my best as often as possible. Currently improvising on the piano and writing my heart out.

Congenerous artist with two facets; personas; alter egos
Saṃsāra for Playa Tech, Melodic, Tribal, Organic Vibes 
Ouroboros for Techno, Psy Tech and Dark Vibes


Saṃsāra is the  bright eyed hipster that fell in love with the organic sounds mixed in with electronic music,the Yang of the equation who loves to bask in the sun was first introduced to the sounds of playa tech during “Copal” by Deana Sophia where the vibe just resonated with the islander in him ; he was also heavily influenced with art immersive experience party “Departed” by Ben Arsenal where the mix of live painting, performers, percussionist and loving community really left a mark on his creative side. 

Ouroboros is the night creature  at after parties in some poorly ventilated basement with way too much smoke, Yin of the equation hates bright lights and but loves lasers but still gotta have sunglasses even in the void. For the hardcore techno, otherworldly psy tech or ethereal zenonesque beats. This persona was influenced by many parties curated by Philadeep and also by some friends ba_nice_human  that made Philly feel like home for this antisocial being. Mauritian dj/producer community was a huge inspiration to get things moving in the right direction.

The newest sounds of this planet...

We passionately support fresh talents <3

The highest goal of music is to connect soul to its divine nature, not just entertainment :)

kosha (Sanskrit कोश, IAST: kośa), usually rendered "sheath", the covering of the Atman, or Self. 

kośa is a soundsmith who brings you a flavour mixing - downtempo, acid house, minimal//deep-tech ranging from 80 to 120 bpm, electronic yet organic tunes, deep hypnotic meditative grooves and solid kicks infused with Indian, Arabic and other Ethnic influences which we beautifully term 'spiritual deeptech' a genre coined by kośa, rooted in the deepest part of India's underground scene.

ॐ//om -The great primordial sound, the original sound from which the universe was created, the sound of all sounds together. According to Hindu metaphysics everything is made of sounds (vibrations), since everything is sound, healing through it, is an ancient ritual, as sound is not only heard through our ears but vibrates within every cell of our bodies.

For us at kosa records this network gives space to connect ideas of various forms to do art for art's sake - not for social recognition. to break the rules of systematic exploitation of the artist's energy and to feel the soul in synchonicity.
there are no limits, as there is no mind. 

We consumed too much music and it started to leak and this is when kośa evolved into a record label in January 2019 with the release of their first various artists compilation Mīmāṃsā, though the real beginnings were with our Podcast series the raga saga https://soundcloud.com/kosamusica/sets/the-raga-saga where in we showcase an hour of beautiful music from our favorite artists from around the world.

50% of all proceeds are donated to Pawbro India Foundation that aims at feeding stray dogs and other animals in Pune, India, feeding over 150 strays everyday. Part of the artists’ stream shares are directed towards these efforts.
