Not a lot of mixes can leave a lump in your throat – less so, within a minute of them. Enter Derain’s mix for Wild City, which picks at fresh wounds of our collective consciousness with the opening echoes of Aamir Aziz’s poem ‘Sab Yaad Rakha Jayega’. The quintessential verses gained their importance through the poignancy with which they encapsulate all the emotions and tragedies surrounding protests against the discriminatory Citizen Amendment Act and the unjust retaliation they received which shook the nation at the start of the year. Derain adds just enough spacious harmony to augment that poignancy and remind us with great impact that justice is still missing and the perpetrators of injustice are yet to answer for their actions. 

How then would you follow an opening like this with music? Fortunately, Derain’s own music carries just enough ambient chaos to respectfully carry Aziz’s anguish forward, disintegrating the verses into their abstract emotions and mood which he then connects all the way to New Zealand teen Takunda Muzondiwa’s speech ‘Dear Racism’. 

Ankit Chugh, the producer and the co-founder of New Delhi-based label and management TAABIIR, donned the moniker Derain to put an end to his ever-profound explorations as Cubewano, Talk In Math and Karv. Throughout his journey as an artist, Chugh has never lost the ability to cue the listener for introspection into darker corners of our beings. 

With his Wild City mix, Derain makes us sit with our recent memories of paralysing pain and empathy, while offering catharsis to bear it with by recontextualizing numbers by the likes of Nicholas Jaar, Kareem Lotfy, New Delhi-based artist FILM and lesser-known gems like Imka, and makes them fit the solemn mood of the mix.

Wild City #194: Derain

Many of you shared your stories of how you faced SOCIAL STIGMA and did not let that change the course of your lives. I shall also be sharing my story as well as that of many women whose lives could have been very different had they not given in to pre existing social norms and maybe had the freedom to question those structures at the time. This story shifts between my life and that of my grandmother, depicting how we both had a choice at every step. And how our different choices completely changed the stories of our life.

Lyrics: 
'।। बोल के लब आज़ाद है तेरे, बोल जुबां अब तक तेरी है , तेरा सुतवां जिस्म है तेरा,  बोल के जान अब तक तेरी है।।' - फैज़

भीड़ में अकेला खड़ा
या खुद में ही है लापता
में कौन हूँ मुझे न बता
ये मेरा मन भी जाने न
माने न
तबियत खराब,
बेतुके ख्यालों में बहके हिसाब
जाने ना , मने ना
ले गया मुझे भी साथ, बानी न बात, खाली इस पेट पे पड़ी जो लात,
पड़ी जो लात
मने ना, जाने नआ
मने ना, जाने नआ

केह्दे, की अब आज़ाद है तू , कह दो ज़ुबान ये तेरी ,
खो कर भी खो न पाए , कह कर कहाँ ना जाये
कह दो ये वक़्त में कमज़ोरी।।

भाग!

जैसे पूछने वाला कोई नहीं

भाग!

वैसे कायरों की कमी नहीं

भाग!

एक ही थी करनी गुज़ारिश,
जाना जहाँ वहां पीछे मुड़के न देखना
झूठे फ़साने बनके खुद को दे न देगा

बोला  था मनसे ही जब,
मन में ये दिल न हो तब तक
होते ये रिश्ते गलत अब
मने ना, जाने ना
मने ना, जाने ना

कह दे की अब, आज़ाद हैं तू
केहदो जुबां ये तेरी
खो कर भी खो न पाए
कह कर कहाँ न जाये
कह दो ये वक़्त में कमज़ोरी।।

मन मौजी
फिर गली गली
क्या खोया , क्या पाया
किस नगरी पे तू, ले आया
काफिर सोचे बस अपनी
जाने ना।।।
जाने ना , मने ना
