St. Cyril
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.

Komorebi
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.

The Soul
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).

Maed Mixtape - Savera
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).

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. — Song List: Anika Bharwani - Banana Bread (02:02 - 03:57) The Revisit Project - Straight Through (04:56 - 09:11) Arrows - Carnaby ft.

Zero
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.

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.

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!

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!

Best of 2020
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.209 Karshni - Fader (18:50 - 21:22) 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) Ep.218 Across Seconds - Four Light Years From Home (50:38 - 55:31) Ep.222 Shan Vincent De Paul - Die Iconic (56:44 - 58:31) Ep.205 Azamaan Hoyvoy - ELFL (Everybody Looking For Love) (59:39 - 1:07:16) Come be our friend: Facebook @maedinindia Instagram @maedinindia Twitter @maedinindia CREDITS: Host: Mae Twitter: @maebemaebe Instagram: @maemariyam Audio Editor Post: Vijay Doiphode Producer: Shaun Fanthome & Husein Haveliwala

Ep. 54 feat. Naezy
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.

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. Naina Kundu 'Peter Pan' Naezy 'Aafat!'
