Are you in love? Were you? Would you want to be?The track ‘Tu Muskura from’ Yuvraaj asks for the same.
This amazing ballad (if i can call it) is about the girl asking for everything for a boy as long as he remains happy. Smiling. Unconditionally. As long as he gives the warmth of the sunlight to her, as long as she seeks. The solo cello at the beginning is worth dying for and the later rhythm is worth preserving. Here the music talks to you.
I found this to be an outstanding track to mix.
I wanted to treat it with utmost respect.
This track is so well sung and mixed by Rahman that it was suicidal for me to even attempt a mix, unless I get a brainwave. Which I did. [click to continue...]

The 2002 academy award nominated movie Lagaan has amongst other things, a spectacular sound track by AR Rahman. All tracks are mind-blowing in production values and sheer text book perfection of composition (need i say!). It has been few years since I got to watch the movie again, when I did I was totally in awe with the treatment and screenplay which despite the length of the film.
Few songs in the soundtrack are very simple yet enchanting. While others are quite complex in rendition. I took one of my favorite tracks and tried to give it a tasteful new look. A sort of pop/hip-hop groove to a track that was inherently very groovy and on your face with the message of perseverance. The track ‘Mitwa’ has a very catchy hook created totally with percussions and bass, something I believe only Rahman can think of. [click to continue...]

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...]
