Maed in India: Recent Episodes
Maed in India
Maed in India - India's first indie music podcast that showcases the best Indian independent musicians from India and abroad. Each episode presents an interview with an artist/band along with an exclusive stripped down session or acoustic renditions of their original music. The weekly show prides itself on being the destination for new music, little known stories, and unreleased music never heard before.
It features all kinds of artists from new-comers to veterans and under a variety of genres from hip hop, blues, soul, to folk, punk, rock, and everything in between.
We’ve hit the big 1-0, baby! And we’ve gone full circle (and slightly off the rails). Over the past few weeks, we’ve been rewinding through the years, bringing you our Best Of specials circa 2015. And now, we’ve gone COMPLETE inception with a ‘Best of Best Of’ special.
Yep, you heard that right. Ten years, 300+ episodes, and countless bad jokes, Mae’s back behind the mic, joined by Shaun, her partner, our COO, and head of all things punny. Together, they take turns picking their favourite tracks from across Maed in India history - breaking a few rules, trying (and failing) to be funny, and getting very sentimental along the way.
Also known in-house as BOBO (because it’s adorbs). It’s big. It’s loud. It’s emotional. It's our own block party down the road. 10 years on and still going strong.
WARNING: Please know the songs picked were very arbitrary and very dependent on our mood, work load, life drama, and bodily functions that day. Any other day and we might have picked a completely different bunch. OKChaloBye.

Maed in India is 10 YEARS OLD and this episode we are spinning back to 2019! This year was a medley of emotions: righteous anger, spontaneous joy, extreme chaos, much yearning, an urge to leave parties early to go to sleep – it was also the year before we knew how bad the world could get.
In this episode, we celebrate songs that reminisce about the time (almost) everyone left the band, and spontaneously jammed about a long lost off-white sari with a gold zari border. 2019 was also made extra special by our very first Ladies Special, a now-annual tradition where we spotlight indie women on that oh-so-auspicious occasions of International Women's Day.
The voice you hear at the top of this episode is, our very own Audio Engineer, Nihar Temkar, who goes back to being 10 and when his curious mind was fascinated by his grandfather’s cassette recorder, wondering, “how on earth does this little ribbon of tape hold music?”
Song List:
Sid Sriram - 2 am Prayer (04:50 - 09:01)
MC Manmeet Kaur - Liberal Slavery (10:14 - 12:57)

Maed in India is 10 YEARS OLD and we’re going back to 2018. It was a year of hip hop, prog rock, pop, RnB and some unforgettable Maed moments: we hit our 150th episode (!!), got roasted by Benny Dayal’s band Funktuation, and chatted with the gals from Ladies Compartment about feminism and constipation in the same breath. Essentials, I tell you.
We also heard Smalltalk and Enkore jam on a song nobody can agree on the name of, had a band vanish from social media, and discovered how one drunk best friend’s wild interpretation of a riff ended up inspiring a whole music video.
The intro voice over this week is by Agent Q (aka Quoyina), talking about her experiments with ink and orange juice as a kid to channel her inner detective.
Chabuk - Kaun Hip Hop (02:27 - 06:21)
Smalltalk - Freedom ft. Enkore (10:08 - 13:32)

This week we’re rewinding to 2020: a year that needs no introduction. Grief, loss, anxiety, chaos – it was heavy. And somehow, the music we featured that year mirrored all those messy, chaotic emotions of helplessness, of isolation, and loneliness - all of which came spilling out uncontrollably. This episode is about taking a pause and taking stock of the tiniest things. The good, the bad, the ugly. Basically, it's a much needed therapy session.
Yet, even though the world shut down, we got to record some true gems including our #RunTheWorld Ladies Special and our 200th episode!!! – with our very own “Reserve Bank of Indie” 200-rupee note in circulation (if only it were legal tender…)
This is a snapshot of a year we’d rather forget, told through music we can't help but love.
PS: This episode features an Intro VO by Head of HR & Admin, and Mother Hen to all at Maed in India, Natasha, who managed to sneak in 10 horse puns in honour of our 10th birthday. Brownie points if you can spot them all!
Song List:
Parvaaz - Mastaan (03:23 - 08:53)
Taba Chake - Hugalo (09:38 - 12:28)
Nikhil D'Souza - (Love is a Liar 13:38 - 18:42)

10 years of Maed in India and this week we’re rewinding to 2017: a year of big firsts, bittersweet moments, and a whole lot of goosebumps. It was the year Maed in India went LIVE (!!) with Blackstratblues, celebrated our 100th episode with legends Indian Ocean in their Delhi studio, and even had Apache Indian drop by to sing acapella while on tour in India.
We had tracks that gave us Goa vibes, deep dives, bandmates roasting each other, stripped down punk rock, and a whole lot of unreleased gems.
But the year wasn’t all highs. We tragically lost the profoundly talented keys player Karan Joseph aka Madfingers, who had featured on an episode with drummer Lindsay D’Mello aka DCF. His loss was felt deeply in the indie scene.
This Best Of is a time capsule of where indie music was at in 2017: raw, experimental, emotional, and unforgettable.
PS: You absolutely can NOT miss the intro by Lakshman, our sound engineer, who talks about a hilarious case of Chinese whispers that made him board the wrong bus after school way back when he was 10. Press play, reminisce, and relive with us.
Song List:
Apache Indian - I Pray (05:27 - 06:41)
Ranjit Arapurakal - Nothing is Real (08:24 - 11:22)
Bone Broke - You Run (13:06 - 16:51)
Aditi Ramesh - Small Fish In a Big Pond (17:45 - 20:54)
Indian Ocean - Maa Rewa (22:19 - 24:40)
Chayan & Smiti - Mindfire (26:29 - 31:03)
The Yellow Diary - Marz (32:09 - 35:49)
Uday Benegal - Fireflies (36:51 - 41:17)
Dossers Urge - Erase (44:18 - 48:31)
Blackstratblues - Renaissance Mission (Live) (49:31 - 54:39)
Tejas - Falling Out (57:01 - 01:02:45)

It's our 10th birthday and this week we’re flashing back to 2022 – a year full of musical catharsis, pandemic hangovers, and.... Ummm, well, mostly, pandemic hangovers yeah.
We talked about how rainy day funds helped a band like Swarathma, others inspired #MaedMixtapes (looking at you, pop rock band from Nagaland, Trance Effect), and even music videos that were only made possible with samosa bribes by JBabe. We also had songs that made us cry, filled us with rage, FOMO and hit us right in the chest.
This re-release comes with a brand new intro by our Head of Design, Alika Gupta, who also created the cover art that looks like it belongs in a trippy retro video game, almost like the end of a fever dream – and I guess that's what were still feeling at the end of 2022. This is a time capsule of all that was raw, ridiculous, and real that made that year unforgettable.
So press play and feel the feels.
RANJ & Clifr - Attached (04:22 - 06:43)
Swarathma - Raah-e-Fakira (09:43 - 15:01)
Alvin Presley - I'll Miss This Day (17:29 - 22:35)
JBABE - Punch Me in My Third Eye (24:38 - 26:17)
Trance Effect - Took Me A While (28:25 - 32:00)
Tribemama Marykali - Serpent on Dance Floor (33:07 - 36:53)
Ankit Dayal - What You Need To Hear/Suffer (39:01 - 41:53)
Aakash Mehta - Sister Superior (43:45 - 46:32)
Easy Wanderlings - Mayflower (49:48 - 53:58)

It’s our birthday week, month, YEAAAR. Maed in India turns 10 and we’re still feeling emo, nostalgic, and very, very proud. As we blow out the candles on a decade of discovering awesome Indian independent music, we’re throwing it back to one of our most jam-packed years yet: 2016.
We dropped a wild 45 episodes that year - a fever dream of folk, punk, blues, alt-rock and more. While most bands are still kicking and many others have bloomed onto the scene, some vanished into the great indie abyss, and others live on only in our headphones and hearts.
Tune into this Best Of special to hear everything from the then up-and-coming The F16s, "suburban" punk band Punk on Toast, Gowri Jayakumar in her many avatars, and much much more. We also feature the heart-on-his-sleeve Vernon Noronha, virtuoso guitarist Aditya Balani singing long songs, and a musical breakdown by guitar nerd Warren Mendonsa.
This re-release is introduced by our Head of Video, Jishnu Guha, who once sang on our mic and now spends most of his time making sure our videos come to life. He’s here to remind you (and himself) why we’re still doing this 10 years later.
So hit play and celebrate the year 2016 that was part music, part existential crisis.
Song List:
Gowri - WaterLilly (03:29 - 06:06)
The F16s - Blackboard (07:13 - 10:33)
The Tripp - Minor Blues (11:21 - 14:21)
Vernon Noronha - Come Back Jack (15:09 - 20:34)
Warren Mendonsa - Folkish Three (21:30 - 23:04)
Punk On Toast - For Hire (23:44 - 26:33)
Barefaced Liar - Chocolate (27:17 - 30:01)
Aditya Balani - 1979 (30:41 - 34:03)

We're 10 years old!!! And we’re still reelin’, reminiscing, and replaying the bangers that made our indie hearts beat faster.
This week, we’re flashing back to the not so distant past - our Best of 2023 – a year that gave us Assamese jazz-pop, Urdu blues, Punjabi folk, and a Marathi abhanga with a guitar solo that’s soooo good, it deserves its own Aadhaar card.
We even celebrated our 300th episode that featured a cult band from the early 2000s, and went gaga over a shoegaze dream pop band from Nepal who put across a strong case that momos from Nepal were the best EVVVAAAAAA!
This re-release comes with a fresh intro by Senior Producer Ruchi — whose official review of the episode is just one word: “CHILLS.”
So plug in, get comfy, and vibe out to the voices that made 2023 unforgettable.
Song List:
Zero - Take Me Away (04:32 - 09:32)

Maed in India turns 10! And the party continues as we throwback to the Best of 2015: Part Deux to celebrate a whole decade of Maed magic!
Though this was released originally in 2016, it’s looking back at 2015. It features artists who were just beginning to make waves, songs that didn’t even have names, and even a track that became our studio engineer’s ringtone. True story.
This repackaged gem comes with a fresh intro by our senior producer Meghna who didn’t witness the chaos of 2015, but still got hit by the feels. Was it nostalgia? Or the questionable food order?
So grab your headphones, time travel with us, and soak in that indie acoustic goodness.

Prathamesh Tambe - Summertime Salvage (03:33 - 08:35)
Zoya Mohan - What’s Done Is Done (09:13 - 11:36)

IT’S BEEN 1O YEARS!
Yes, shocking but true, 10 years of Maed in India means it’s time for us to show off some of the awesome music we’ve had on the show. You’ll be getting a blast from bast as we celebrate Maed in India’s 10th BIRTHDAY!
Today, we’re throwing it waaay back to where the magic began… in 2015 (the same year Hotline Bling was haunting us). This was the first time Mae picked her fave unplugged performances from the earliest days of Maed in India — when our mics were held together by hope, a borrowed mic, and a semi-functional bar stool.
In this throwback edition, you’ll hear everything from Nikhil D’Souza crooning about secret relationships, Mae talking about how she got ruthlessly roasted by Laxmi Bomb, and music by bands who have long since vanished from the scene.
Bonus: This repackaged throwback is introduced by Kartik, our Head of Audio and keeper of all sonic secrets. 10 years on, and we’re still geeking out about great sound.
So plug in and step back in time to some indie nostalgia, a generous dash of sass and to a bunch of acoustic sessions we never want to forget.
Song List:
Nikhil D’Souza - Amelie (03:59 - 06:50)
Last Remaining Light - Conclusions (07:48 - 12:49)
Laxmi Bomb - Kitto and a Penny (13:55 - 17:47)
Marshall & the Mischief - Don't Underestimate (19:19 - 23:23)
Ankur Tewari - Wagairah Wagairah (24:50 - 28:01)
Duncun Rufus - The New Song (29:38 - 34:43)
Akash Vincent - She (35:51 - 39:53)
Mohit Mukhi - In My Head (40:45 - 43:14)
The Koniac Net - Crawling (45:01 - 48:15)
Vasuda Sharma - Never Lose Heart (48:56 - 51:21)

For the final episode of our Lost & Found series, Kolkata-bred dream-pop duo Parekh & Singh chat with Mae about how their musical upbringing influenced their songwriting today, why they aren’t called “Zap” anymore, and the story of the classic tailor who makes their signature suits. They also dive deep into the making of The Night is Clear, an album that’s as personal as it is dreamy. Some episodes are too special to be left behind - good thing we found this one.
Note: Nischay and Jivraj via a post on Instagram in February 2025 announced that they were bidding farewell to Parekh & Singh. Maed in India wish them all the best and will continue to follow their work as loyal fans.
Song List (Audio):
The Nightingale (01:57 - 05:15)
Ocean (20:09 - 24:59)

Next up in our Lost & Found series, we’re bringing you an episode that proves music and self-discovery go hand in hand. Mae is joined by indie-pop singer-songwriter and producer Atteev. They also chat about his Ed Sheeran sad boy days, balancing a nine-to-five business career with his musical pursuits, his love for efficiency (I’m talking about Lima Sigma Seven Ninja Black Belt… whaaaaat), and how he has come to harness his anxiety disorder to help him be more productive. He also performs a single, and two songs from his EP Look How Far We've Come.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt torn between two worlds, cause he's here to tell you, you don’t have to choose.
- This episode was recorded on 18 January 2023. Atteev’s EP dropped on 17 March 2023.

Ever lost something so good you kicked yourself for it? Well, we did. But lucky for you, we’ve found it! Welcome to our Lost & Found series, which features episodes we recorded but you’ve not had the chance to see! On the episode we’ve got brothers Sarthak and Shashwat Karkare with their rock duo, St. Cyril.
If spending every waking minute with each other wasn’t enough, then why not start a SECOND band together! Out with their debut album, Hurt People Hurt People, vocalist and guitarist Sarthak and drummer Shashwat take us through their telepathic abilities, why their songs bear the hallmark of their 80s/90s influences, why self-awareness is the key to breaking cycles of hurt, the struggles of creating basslines without a bassist, and hopefully they’ll invite us to that neighbourhood block party we’ve coaxed them into doing.
Song List:
Trouble (01:55 - 05:20)
Twice Over (15:35 - 18:48)
My Therapist Says (32:58 - 35:56)
I Got You (42:56 - 46:08)

Pulling up at the best station from this nation, we have the Ladies Special coming in with Producer & chillwave, trip hop electronica artist from Delhi, Tarana Marwah aka Komorebi. She’s out with a new record that released in Sept 2023 called The Fall. It was a behemoth multimedia project that was 6 years in the making and includes a 6-song album, a 30-page comic book and music videos made with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine. We talk about how family is our kryptonite and invariably the greatest inspiration for her work; how collaboration, as much as it’s fulfilling can also be intimidating; and whether it’s a soliloquy or an intergalactic sci-fi story every record is autobiographical. Also, Tarana is on the lookout for a good choreographer for her next musical venture.
Song List:
The Fall (01:15 to 06:51)
Watch Out (17:14 to 21:15)
Better Not Bitter (26:30 to 31:57)

Halt all engines! For the 2nd instalment of our #LadiesSpecial, our train has taken us to jazz pop singer songwriter and budding actor Aditi Saigal, aka Dot.. Tune in as we find out about the first song she ever wrote (filled with that glorious youthful angst we know and love), as well as how she began playing piano at age of 6 and composing at the age of 12. Mae and Aditi bond over their Welsh connection, and she reveals how her return to India led to her first tattoo, the making of a brand new album and acting in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. She also performs 3 brilliant unreleased tracks, one of which she wrote 3 days before she came to record with us.

Here’s a very special episode of Maed in India.
You may have heard of this very cool gig called the Red Bull Tour Bus.
It’s a behemoth music tour that travels across India, bringing you extraordinary Indian indie performances. It’s now been 10 years since it started and recently, our very own Mae Mariyam Thomas along with fellow music aficionados Nirmika Singh and Amit Gurbaxani were the judges got to judge the Red Bull Off The Roof Band Hunt, where young artists or bands have the chance to play the gig of a lifetime. Though they were spoiled for choice with the talent there had to be one winner - soul R&B crew Queendom!
Brecilla D'Souza and Damini Gautam are back (check out their 2021 Ladies Special episode here) and with their whole band in tow and new unreleased music to share.
Learn how to manifest a performance on Red Bull Off The Roof tour bus, the power of 3 part harmonies, why the stage is their safe space and of course, what it really means to be a queen and making that word less la di da.

On the special occasion of Sri Lanka’s Independence Day on Feb 4th, Mae sits down with Sri Lankan reggae/dub/rock band, The Soul. They chat about the band's insistence on NOT being a cover band and making only original music (and being a broke musician in the process), the sad sad situation of Sri Lanka’s economy but also how it’s not sad and everything is perfectly fine (right?). When talking about their music it ranges from dystopian futures and reflections on political turmoil all the way to the woes of being a struggling independent artist. Oh and they teach Mae some Sinhalese too (whether it was successful or not you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out).

We’ve got a new mixtape for you from our newest member of the Maed in India team, audio engineer & sound editor, Sarthak Ray. Savera is his recipe for mornings sponsored by Delhi nostalgia (yes, he’s a Delhi boy). Each song takes you through moments when you just want to stay in bed a little longer or need a big bang to kickstart your morning workouts. From comfort-pop, to funk rock and electronica, Savera is woven together with Sarthak’s potent pairing of major Dilli yearning with a dash of doomsday-humour.
P.S. We also think that Sarthak should start a new career in ASMR voiceovers.

Tune in this week for an auditory adventure led by Jishnu, the man behind Maed in India's visual wonders. This 'khichdi of a mixtape,' as he puts it, has been a long time coming, and takes you on a whirlwind of a musical journey with artists and genres reaching far and wide. From fuzzy guitar jams in Sikkim to indie rock in Chicago and some soul music from Delhi, we can't help but groove to these gems. Coupled with a sly plug for his own music aaand his own podcast (we noticed, Jishnu :P) this khichdi lives up to its name with music that'll have you tapping to your feet in no time.

This week we have Maed in India’s newbie producer Ruchi Sawardekar with her first ever #MaedMixtape - Platypus. As an animal enthusiast, no creature has piqued her curiosity more than the odd looking, platypus. Ruchi brings you some of the most fascinating and bizarre facts about this Australian-native amphibian that’s got a paddle-shaped tail like a beaver; a sleek, furry body like an otter; and a flat bill and webbed feet like a duck. Are you ready to platy-pump up the fun? (I know, we really do try. Points for effort?)

Next up in this Maed Mixtape takeover by the Maed in India team is our audio engineer Lakshman. As a follow up to his previous mixtape ‘Popcorn’, something he can’t get enough of, he’s named this one after something even more dear to him – his beloved cup of joe. His methodical (read: obsessive) preparation process is the best part of his day, and the songs on this mixtape give him a similar kind of calm. So brew a cup for yourself and settle in!

So, on this episode of Maed in India, we’re featuring the prolific percussionist and producer, Swarupa Ananth.

She also performs 3 songs from her debut solo EP, Recomeçar, an ode to women!

It’s the final chapter of our 2023 Ladies Special, and we’re featuring Bhojpuri folk artist Nimisha Shankar.

Our Ladies Special is chugging along very nicely, and this episode is no different! We feature Assamese Soul-pop folk singer-songwriter Sampriti, who talks about instances of colourism she’s had to face in her life, landing a job as a performer on a cruise ship, and writing in Assamese coming to her naturally. Of course, she performs three songs in her signature style that marries Assamese lyrics to Afrobeat and jazz-pop!

We declare the 2023 edition of Maed in India’s Ladies Special open for your listening pleasure! It’s our annual celebration of women in independent music in India, and our theme this year goes back to our country’s musical roots. We’re featuring artists who showcase India’s rich heritage through their identity, regional language or music style. To get this show on the road we have singer-songwriter and music educator, Banat. She talks about growing up in a traditional Punjabi household playing harmonium and kirtans at the gurdwara, from becoming a lawyer to a musician, and we find out that she’s working on a Punjabi folk album. She also treats us to her renditions of three Punjabi folk songs!
Song List:

It’s happening.
No, this isn’t a dream.
We can’t contain our excitement any longer.
We have two HUGE reasons to celebrate.
- It’s Maed in India’s 300th episode!!!
- We’re celebrating this milestone with a band that’s been the soundtrack of the lives of college students through the late 90s and early 2000s.
Mae has the iconic alt rock band Zero in the studio to celebrate 300 episodes of the show! And she’s even brought an old friend along with her too - Music Journalist, Co-founder of erstwhile NH7.in, Head of Red Bull Media House India, and #1 Zero superfan – Arjun S Ravi. They chat to Sidd, Warren, Bobby and Rajeev about their first i-Rock, about how these Dadar boys know each other, what their songs are really about (kinda) and how Zero once almost broke up. You also get to hear about how they got paid for a gig in sandwiches, a Europe tour that never happened because they weren’t “Indian enough”, using underwear as a pop filter, Buffy The Vampire slayer, leather chaps, and a whole lot more. You’ll also get to hear them perform a song that they’ve never recorded before right here on Maed in India.
Song List:
Mariachi (01:44 - 06:32)
Wish (34:09 - 38:50)
Take Me Away (1:10:18 - 1:15:19)
Zero is:
Rajeev Talwar on Vocals
Warren Mendonsa on Guitars

Not just that, he was like, “You know what, I’m going to put together a mixtape of my own!” (with Mae’s blessing, of course). Well, this is that mixtape. Enjoy!
Song List:
That Good Good - Walk of Shame (ft. YodaDrunk) (02:22 - 05:21)

Mae was joined by R&B neo-soul act Smalltalk, and she asked them about the story behind their band name, and how the songs came together for their debut EP ‘Tacit’. They also thoroughly enjoyed guitarist Siddharth’s school teacher voice, vocalist Samarth and bass player Yohan’s food blog, and other shenanigans. For their performance, they brought in a special guest - rapper and hip hop artist Enkore along!
Take a look at our episode artwork! You’ll see that we’ve created a word search where you can look for the band name and some of their song titles. We hope you enjoy it!

Hi! While we’ve been on hiatus, Mae decided to go back to her older Maed in India episodes, particularly the ones where bands have either disbanded, or are on an indefinite hiatus. It got her thinking – “Where Did They Go?” And so, to ease back in from our hiatus, we’re showcasing Maed in India episodes from way back when that featured bands that are basically nonexistent. To kick things off, we have the 4-piece alternative pop rock band Calico, when they made their Maed in India debut on Episode 142 of the show in November 2018. Till date, they have no album or EP (only a couple of singles) but you get the chance to hear some piping hot tunes from their studio session.
PS. Take a look at our episode artwork! You’ll see that we’ve created a word search where you can look for the band name and their song titles. We hope you enjoy it!

The guest for this week’s episode of Maed in India, Joshua Fernandez, has already been on the show before - on our 38th episode from 2016, as the frontman of Chennai alt/indie rock band The F16s. This time, Joshua is here with his lo-fi/indie electro-pop solo project JBABE, which he says was a conscious effort to step away from the sound of The F16s. On the episode, he performs acoustic renditions of his songs , which he says makes him slightly uncomfortable. Also, Mae exposes his shenanigans on a Twitter handle he tried very hard to hide.
Song List: I'll Get the Cheque, We Can Split the Regret (01:04 - 04:41) Ever Illuminating (16:14 - 18:25)

He also performs three songs from his diverse discography.

It’s the last week of March, and with that, comes the final episode of Maed in India’s Ladies Special for this year – and it sure is a fun one! Mae chats to singer-songwriters Sanjeeta Bhattacharya & Tanmaya Bhatnagar, who joined forces for their 2021 collab Itne Pyaar Se (Thoda Darr Lagta Hai). Sanjeeta & Tanmaya talk about how the song came from a feeling of loving someone so strongly that it scares you, recording the song remotely over Zoom, and what 2022 looks like for them musically.

They tell Mae about what it was like growing up surrounded by renowned musicians, making music with your sibling, and the struggles of women in playback singing in India.

Welcome back to the Ladies Special! A series we do every March to celebrate the talented women of the country's indie scene. This year, our theme is Lady Collabs, and on this episode, Mae is joined by harpist and singer-songwriter Nush Lewis, and singer-songwriter Kamakshi Khanna, who collaborated on Letters to myself. They have a heart-to-heart about how the two of them met, how writing the song over chai and anecdotes was a safe-space for them, the importance of trust in creative collaboration, and the value of self-compassion.

It’s March, and we know what that means on Maed in India. It’s time for the Ladies Special! It’s our annual series of episodes to showcase some of the most talented women from India’s indie music scene. This year, the theme is Lady Collabs. And the first musical pair we’re featuring is soul pop duo Gouri and Aksha, made up of Gouri Ranjit from Kerala and Aksha Kini from Punjab. They talk about how Aladdin played a part in their crossing of paths, the role of voice notes in their writing process, how not always agreeing on everything has helped them as artists, and songs with ambiguous meanings. You’ll also get to hear 2 of their songs!

This week, Mae features an artist who is pretty familiar with the stage, but not as a musician. He's stand-up comedian Aakash Mehta, who recently dropped his debut record 'What a Life’. They chat about his international folk dance performances, how music has always been his first love, his ability to play an array of percussive instruments in high school, and how comedy happened. According to Aakash, this record is the culmination of 5 years of journal entries, and you’ll get to hear 3 songs from it too.

Joining us on this episode all the way from sunny Los Angeles, California is R&B, soul, indie, folk singer-songwriter Ramya Pothuri. It's been a while since they hung out, and clearly the only way Mae can catch up with people is by interviewing them. On this episode, she tells us why she’s now an LA girl, why she needs Mae to be her drama interventionalist, her latest single 'Male Attention' about a guy she honestly doesn’t even like that much.

We’re moving fast to the end of this eventful, or relatively uneventful year, and Mae thinks it’s time to slow down and take a look back. We’re talking waaaay back, considering we’re also over 260 episodes old! Yay, Maed in India! So, to begin this trip down memory lane, we’re starting with Episode 67 released in September 2016. At the time “up-and-coming” indie-folk-pop act from Pune, Easy Wanderlings, featured on the show. They talked about being South Indian, their music being best enjoyed over chai, coffee or a glass of wine, how they tried to maintain some amount of anonymity, and jugaad recording techniques.
Song List:
I for little Things (16:24 - 19:55)
Enjoy it while it lasts (29:22 - 32:50)

This episode features some major Mallu bonding between Mae and singer-songwriter, producer & educator Shilpa Ananth, whose music seamlessly melds R&B, soul, jazz with her Carnatic stylings.

Not to be confused with OAFF aka Kabeer Kathpalia, who catches up with Mae on this episode of Maed in India. The electronica producer and composer talks about the meaning behind his artist name and if he still resonates with it, his experience attending experimental schools, his punk band, how he wanted to become a particle physicist, and the story behind his collaboration with singer-songwriter/producer Sohrab Nicholson aka Landslands for their song ‘Grip’ that we’re featuring on this episode!

Between all the banter and hysterical laughing, they talk about Bhrigu’s journey from Khadki Junction Blues to busking on subway platforms in New York, the bitter pill that is testing your music on your parents, singing Marathi powadas with his mother, and Bhrigu demonstrates his nifty automatic guitar tuner which honestly is some sorcery at play. He also showcases his Tibetan singing bowl skills on Believe, one of the four songs he performs live in this episode.

The world of the interwebs is a wondrous place (most of the time). For Maed in India, it allows us an incredible opportunity to connect with indie artists from across the country. And that’s exactly what we did on this episode! Here to chat about her journey as an artist, winning a Most Promising Artist award (yes, we do find out what she's promising), and the story behind her single Dumplings for the Sad, is Dimapur singer-songwriter Temsu Clover.

We’re at the last stop of Maed in India’s Our Neighbours 2021, and it’s a bittersweet moment after a journey filled with music, banter and new friendships from across the Subcontinent. Our grand finale takes us to Karachi, Pakistan, as we present A For Aleph, a record label, artist collective & music residency, with their collaborative project ‘Qurb’, by Anas Alam Khan, Waqas Hussain, Aziz Kazi and Louis J. Pinto. Mae talks to Anas and Waqas about the music scene in Pakistan post 2008, Waqas’ musical lineage as a 7th generation sitarist, the meaning of ‘Qurb’, and how the song came together.

On this episode of Maed in India’s Our Neighbours 2021 series, we’re heading east, with a hop, skip and a jump over the border to Bangladesh. Here, we meet rock duo from Dhaka, Dads In The Park, made up of Ishmam Salim and Tajwar ul Islam. In their chat with Mae, they reveal the backstory behind the band’s name (if there were dads or parks involved), how the two of them joined forces, being engineers and the meaning of their tune ‘Afeenolove’ (ft. Maheyan Hasan).

We’re more than halfway through Maed in India’s Our Neighbours 2021, but the longest trip of the journey has just begun, because for this episode of the interview series, we’re flying over a couple continents to meet Tamil-Canadian mridangam player, singer & producer Yanchan! He takes Mae through forcing his parents to let him learn the mridangam as a kid, the beauty of beat tapes, and shows her around his hometown – musically, of course – through his latest release, The Scarborough Beat Tape, from which you’ll get to listen to ‘Bluffs’ and ‘Kennedy Station’ at the end of this episode!

Say hello to R&B/funk/soul/jazz band from Colombo, Unscripted, made up of brothers Shamika and Saveen Makalanda, along with Steven Shera, Charith Fernando, Malitha Dee and Prashan Bastianz. On this episode, Mae chats to Saveen and Charith about their origins in the Sri Lanka metal scene, how the band got together, mosh pits at jazz gigs, and, of course, the burning question of our time - "Is it safe outside?" - which is the name of their latest single featuring rapper 1RSH4D, which you’ll hear at the end of this episode!

Our 250th episode is a special one for sure! It marks the first of Maed in India’s Our Neighbours interview series. Here’s a neighbour from the northwest – singer-songwriter, festival director and ethnomusicologist from Lahore, Natasha Noorani! Mae’s banter-ful chat with Natasha touches on her never-ending résumé, the indie music scene in Pakistan, the Lahore Music Meet she co-founded with fellow Biryani Bro Zahra Paracha, her nashtas (you’ll understand), Mae’s trip to Lahore, and, of course, ‘Choro’, the lead single from her upcoming album Ronaq, which you’ll also get to hear at the end of this episode!

Considering that the month of Feb, is one of love and Valentines, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to petition for new terms of endearment. “Honey”, “sweetie” and “cutie pie” are so passe.

Apart from “quarantine” and “lockdown”, a contender for 2020’s word of the year has to be “uncertainty”. Our recording sessions came to a grinding halt in March and we were stuck indoors through most of the year, unsure of when we’d be able to get back into the studio again. Yet, as we look back at 2020 (even though many of us may not want to), the one thing that remained the same was darn good music. So let’s enjoy some of the best performances on Maed in India last year.
Song List:
Ep.201 Parvaaz - Mastaan (01:32 - 07:02)
Ep.203 Taba Chake - Hugulo (07:50 - 10:37)
Ep.200 Nikhil D'Souza - Love is a Liar (11:48 - 16:52)

Ep.207 Bawari Basanti - Kya Bolein (23:13 - 27:11)
Ep.208 Saltwater - Sheets (27:42 - 30:58)
Ep.210 Kanchan Daniel - Jackie (31:44 - 38:19)
Ep.220 Sarathy Korwar - Mawra (39:11 - 46:07)
Ep.204 Seedhe Maut - Dehshat (47:11 - 50:05)

It’s all about ladies on Maed in India this month, and adding to the feminine spirit, we have blues soul singer Kanchan Daniel on the show. With a voice that’ll give you chills, she sings with pathos and power. Kanchan was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 17 with a 0% chance of survival. She talks about what she went through, how she persevered and never allowed it to make her a victim. She tells us about how music gave her a new lease on life, how we have to be a little less harsh on ourselves, beards, MAD comics, kheema pav, and more.

On Maed in India this week, we have multilingual hip-hop crew Swadesi that brings you rap in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and Bengali. We chat about why MC Mawali’s name was inspired by his mother, rapping about the socio-political context rather than girls, drugs & hoes and their latest release, The Warli Revolt, about the tribals in the Arrey Milk Colony area of Bombay who are in the throes of getting displaced due to urban development and the metro work. All this and some mind-bending rhythm and poetry too.

When any person lands up in the midst of host, Mae on Maed in India, they will be subjected to lots of love but equal amounts of torture and will be squeezed for information. She will bring you moments from your past that even you personally have buried in the recess of your memories. The scrutiny and depth of research she digs up on her guests is equivalent to FBI/CIA/RAW/Private detective level intelligence gathering. And today, her victim is folk pop singer-songwriter Rounak Maiti. And we discuss his last album Bengali Cowboy, his new album coming soon, and a blog post he wrote once.

In light of the upcoming release of Zoya Akhtar’s film, Gully Boy - inspired by the lives of rappers Divine & Naezy - we went back into our Maed in India archives to Mae’s beautifully revealing interview with rapper Naved Shaikh aka Naezy. Though he felt more comfortable conversing in Hindi and Mae’s awkward language skills clearly weren’t up to par, that didn’t hinder the poignant and powerful conversation that ensued. From a local lad living in a Kurla chawl to a high-flying rapper gigging across the country and working with some of the best producers in India, they chatted about a young man’s rise to fame and how he struggled to do what he loves regardless of his success. Hear his performance as he raps acapella on this episode too.

The headliner for today are ska/reggae band The Fanculos, helmed by Ramon Ibrahim on vocals, keys & trombone, Saurabh Suman on bass, along with indie scene linchpins like Vinay Lobo on guitars (Airport / Duncun Rufus), Jehangir Jehangir on drums & Ryan Sadri on tenor saxaphone (Something Relevant). Listen to them bring down Famous studio with their big beats, big bass and bouncing tunes. But first… I’ve got a song from The Ska Vengers who have put out a new album called Double Cross (XX) out this month.

This week I’ve got pop singer-songwriter Maalvika Manoj aka Mali. A young girl from Chennai who moved kit and kaboodle to Bombay with nothing but her music and her dreams. After her smattering of gigs around Bombay, and the release of her single 'Walk Away', she garnered the attention of music festival organisers and the likes of music directors Salim Merchant and Harris Jayaraj. Listen to her perform her unreleased music, talk about her debut album Deception, why she moved to Bombay, and how we met at a band hunt in Chennai. Kicking off the show, I have an original song by one of the biggest cover bands in India, The Other People who featured on Ep.6 of Maed in India.

From just a local lad living in a Kurla chawl to a high-flying rapper gigging across the country and working with some of the best producers in India. Naved Shaikh aka Naezy is our headliner on Maed in India this week as he talks about his debut album coming out this year and how doing what he loves is still a struggle for him regardless of his success. He also throws down some of his raps and new unreleased material from his upcoming record. The opening act for this episode is blues-soul singer-songwriter Naina Kundu, who features on next week's show.
PS. For this interview, Naezy felt more comfortable chatting in Hindi with me, and currently, my own Hindi-speaking and Hindi-understanding skills are very much sub-par. I did try but you can tell that I was seriously struggling. Naezy was a sweetheart and phenomenally patient with me. I hope you too can please bare with me and the failings on my part. Though, one thing I will guarantee is that you will be entertained.
