Yeah! Its that time of the year when i release a very special mix-set of the my chosen tracks of AR Rahman. Each year i have been releasing several remixed tracks of AR Rahman’s works. These remixed tracks keep me on higher ground which helps me produce some original tracks, which you can find here and few other places, including in this website.
Coming back. This year i present a new remix set for you. Enjoy your Deewali with a blast of non-stop Rahman’s remixed tracks. I have selected some interesting tracks, not the usual dance hits of Rahmans. Each year I release 2 editions of the non-stop remix set, one with tamil tracks and the other one with Rahman’s hits in Hindi. This year’s Hindi mix set includes remixed versions of Rahman’s latest – Yuvraaj. [click to continue...]

It was August 1997 when I remember roaming frantically around the city to pick up a CD of AR Rahman’s Vandemataram. It was an important activity I HAD to accomplish on a Sunday morning, when most stores were closed. I bought a copy by paying extra cash! And when I returned home and hit the play button,
I was blown.
I am still blown.
I think the album is one of the ‘must haves’. It reminded the urbane about the Indian national song. Rahman had conducted two versions of the original while his own track ‘Maa Tujhe Salaam’ became a sort of a cult track. I have never heard a track like Maa Tujhe Salaam and perhaps I never will.
One of the tracks in the album is Vandemataram itself. The redone version of the original, composed by Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay. Rahman has with great respect preserved the integrity of such an important song.
For me, the temptation to play around with the track was irresistible. However, I did not want to add layers of mixed tracks just for the heck of it. It is Vandemataram for gods sake! I think I have finally figured out the ‘right sound’ for mixing Vandemataram.
I present my version of the great instrumental track from Rahman’s Album. Please consider my humble presentation of Vandemataram – Revival. I call it my Krafted Konscious Mix. Lead your ears, here and you may download the track if you choose too. If you like Karunesh, Morning Raga or fusion music, you will love this.

I think playing around with the cutest track of this year is a risk. When such a track comes from Rahman, i guess the risk is higher. This year’s cutest track is Kabhi Kabhi Aditi from the OST Jaane Tu. A solo by Rashid Ali with ultra simple arrangement by Rahman makes this track an instant ‘stick on’. Every guitar enthusiast i know is practicing the the simple guitar notes and every one who knows someone called Aditi is smiling.. at Aditi!
I thought of adding my 2 cents here with a simple mix of the superb track. I call it Kabhi Kabhi Aditi – Wiredbeat’s Early Club Edit mix Take a look
