The Year It All Began

IT’S BEEN 1O YEARS! Yes, shocking but true, 10 years of Maed in India means it’s time for us to show off some of the awesome music we’ve had on the show. You’ll be getting a blast from bast as we celebrate Maed in India’s 10th BIRTHDAY!    Today, we’re throwing it waaay back to where the magic began… in 2015 (the same year Hotline Bling was haunting us). This was the first time Mae picked her fave unplugged performances from the earliest days of Maed in India — when our mics were held together by hope, a borrowed mic, and a semi-functional bar stool.   In this throwback edition, you’ll hear everything from Nikhil D’Souza crooning about secret relationships, Mae talking about how she got ruthlessly roasted by Laxmi Bomb, and music by bands who have long since vanished from the scene.   Bonus: This repackaged throwback is introduced by Kartik, our Head of Audio and keeper of all sonic secrets. 10 years on, and we’re still geeking out about great sound.   So plug in and step back in time to some indie nostalgia, a generous dash of sass and to a bunch of acoustic sessions we never want to forget.   Song List: Nikhil D’Souza - Amelie (03:59 - 06:50) Last Remaining Light - Conclusions (07:48 - 12:49) Laxmi Bomb - Kitto and a Penny (13:55 - 17:47) Marshall & the Mischief - Don't Underestimate (19:19 - 23:23) Ankur Tewari - Wagairah Wagairah (24:50 - 28:01) Duncun Rufus - The New Song (29:38 - 34:43) Akash Vincent - She (35:51 - 39:53) Mohit Mukhi - In My Head (40:45 - 43:14) The Koniac Net - Crawling (45:01 - 48:15) Vasuda Sharma - Never Lose Heart (48:56 - 51:21)   Come be our friend: Instagram @maedinindia Twitter @maedinindia   CREDITS: Host: Mae Instagram: @maemariyam Twitter: @maebemaebe Producer: Shaun Fanthome and Meghna Gulati Sound Edited & Mastered by: Kartik Kulkarni Artwork: Alika Gupta
