For a couple of months now, I have been meaning to write an article on mixing based on my experiences since a lot of folks have been asking me to. I must state that I am no expert myself and have learnt through trial and error. I started mixing about a year back when I…

  Megadeth happens to be one of my favorite metal groups as they are super tight with excellent riffs, leads and ofcourse DAVE MUSTAINE !!! I love so many of their songs and was wondering which one would be ideal to cover. I picked this mainly coz of the aggression in the vocals, the cool…

  During my college days, there were two Indian Rock groups that I totally loved. My most favorite was Colourblind. I remember taking a bus and going all the way to Jamshedpur just to get their debut album. My other favorite group was Indus Creed/Rock Machine. Today for whatever reason, I suddenly remembered this song,…

Smitha Passanha introduced me to this sing and suggested we cover this. I was hooked to it almost from the start. When I heard the original, one thing was for sure, I needed Sunny‘s expertise as far as mixing goes. He was kind enough to agree to mix it for us and did a terrific…

  On the theme of dance, here is another one. This one is my Modjo.. a simple yet catchy tune. I’ve been FLU stricken and probably dont sound my usual self. Just felt like singing n so I did. [Audio clip: view full post to listen]

  This one goes out to my good friend Smitha Passanha who also happened to introduce me to the song. From what I understand from Smitha, Pritam has ripped this off from some Bengali song. Nevertheless, the arrangement is good, especially the guitarwork. I have introduced some subtle variations here n there. Nothing major though.…

  I covered this song based on Neha Sharma’s request, whom I know through Muziboo. This song is beautiful lyrically. From a melody perspective, it has a lot of high’s and low’s, which I really enjoy. For those of you who are familiar with the song, I’ve changed the high parts around a bit since…

  I had covered this a while back, but wanted to redo it as I was not satisfied with the previous version. An old George Michael classic that even non English music listeners are familiar with. For the record, George Michael is one of my idols. I think he has an absolutely delightful voice. Here…

Meera suggested this song a while back. All I can say is that I fell in love with it instantly when I heard it and decided to give it a shot. I have always been open to trying different styles of music, but I was very skeptical about this one. There were several factors that…
