Hailing from India but now calling Belgium home, Rahul Phogat aka Saudade, has carved out a unique sonic identity in the world of progressive and organic house, resulting in a short but meticulous discography that presents a resonant worldly sound. 

Inspiration from classical music luminaries in Ludovico Einaudi, Max Richter, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Sultan Khan, have fuelling Suadade’s journey, making him one India’s most intriguing up and coming talents. 

On the strength of his debut release, a 2021 offering via A Tribe Called Kotori, the Antwerp resident would go on to choose his projects wisely across the next three calendar years, notching releases for Bridges For Music, Plano B, Manual Music and Mobilee Records, the latter of which was a contribution to the label's 'Zooom' series. Now, continuing on an upwards trajectory into 2025, Saudade adds Musique de Lune to his resume with a three-track showcase 'Childishness'.

The birds have vanished into the sky,
and now the last cloud drains away.

We sit together, the mountain and I,
until only the mountain remains.
