Yo!
When it comes to making a killer track on a beautiful lady, there is only one man here in india. You know who! Be it Aditi,Urvasi,Rukumani, Cindrella or any other metaphor, Rahman succeeds gracefully in getting it into the poetic lexicon. And now its Masakali. An innocent track with a pigeon as a prop is buzzing the nation’s speaker systems.Needless to say there are countless remix versions blasting through woofers and tweeters. I have heard to some 35 odd remixes of Masakali and they also sounded the same! Same four-bar beats, same trance synths and same everything else.
Well, then i decided to put my pea brain on a overdrive and make a real unique mix.This is a rock show version. A real thumpy,edgy rock feel with a brand new interlude.Something i started to do offlate and you guys seemed to have loved it. [click to continue...]

Call it a stroke of inspiration or just plain desperation, i had to complete a very tough track which i set out to mix few weeks ago. Its called ‘Rehna Tu, from the OST of Delhi 6. A classic love song sung by Rahman. The track as a Blues rhythm with a very strong and slow R&B groove. A very unique combo that has fit so well that it sounds very fresh. What makes Rehna Tu all the more unique is the god level programing by Rahman’s team introducing solo string interludes and stanzas picking up in a manner that is no longer blues and eventually getting back to the original genre. Brilliant. Simply brilliant!!
This track tempted me to try a mix for a new mood. I introduced a rather pop skewed reggae groove to this brilliant sound track and placed a brand new interlude with solo spanish guitar samples. Something i have been struggling to program since the last 10 days or so. [click to continue...]

I ask myself several times. What is AR Rahman really good at? Yes he composes great music and recently he became the first Indian to win the Golden Globe Awards for his sound track in Slumdog Millionaire. Needless to say, i am a huge fan of AR and i have all his CDs released till date.
For someone like me who has ARR’s tracks on fingertips, i have asked myself the fundamental question of what he does best in music. I did answer this question several times and i am convinced that AR Rahman is best when he does a devotional sufi track. There is a devine aura to the manner he treats a devotional track, which is usually missing in his dance hall creations. [click to continue...]
