Offlate i have started a liking towards this genre called Deep House. There are various sub-cats for this genre. Deep House as such is from House, but it is a lot of sublime and has a prominent bassline. Ibiza has this fad for ‘beach house’. A breezy, chill out variant that is easy on you and very groovy. An ideal mix of ambient stems added on a groovy loop. I love this genre! Since i could not find much of it, i made one myself. I call it ‘ Beach vibes’. Its got all the relaxo ingredients with a super cool beat and bassline. You must check it out. [click to continue...]

I think i have crossed the next big step in treating vocals while mixing. Ms Shruti a trained Hindustani Classical singer for 12 years has rendered a rather perfect form of Raag Puriya Dhanasri.

It is also the simplest and also the most complex work. When you have the vocals of a trained person, you don’t wanna play around with it much. [click to continue...]
