Vocals Were Served, Warmed, and Toasted

It's our 10th birthday and this week we’re flashing back to 2022 – a year full of musical catharsis, pandemic hangovers, and.... Ummm, well, mostly, pandemic hangovers yeah.   We talked about how rainy day funds helped a band like Swarathma, others inspired #MaedMixtapes (looking at you, pop rock band from Nagaland, Trance Effect), and even music videos that were only made possible with samosa bribes by JBabe. We also had songs that made us cry, filled us with rage, FOMO and hit us right in the chest.    This re-release comes with a brand new intro by our Head of Design, Alika Gupta, who also created the cover art that looks like it belongs in a trippy retro video game, almost like the end of a fever dream – and I guess that's what were still feeling at the end of 2022. This is a time capsule of all that was raw, ridiculous, and real that made that year unforgettable.   So press play and feel the feels.   RANJ & Clifr - Attached (04:22 - 06:43) Swarathma - Raah-e-Fakira (09:43 - 15:01) Alvin Presley - I'll Miss This Day (17:29 - 22:35) JBABE - Punch Me in My Third Eye (24:38 - 26:17) Trance Effect - Took Me A While (28:25 - 32:00) Tribemama Marykali - Serpent on Dance Floor (33:07 - 36:53) Ankit Dayal - What You Need To Hear/Suffer (39:01 - 41:53) Aakash Mehta - Sister Superior (43:45 - 46:32) Easy Wanderlings - Mayflower (49:48 - 53:58) Hashbass ft.
