Smoke Electronica-rock-Fusion Smoke is a collaboration between accomplished Mumbai composers, producers and musicians Ashutosh Phatak and Dhruv Ghanekar (aka Ashu & Dhruv). The result is their studio album Smoke Signals which is a twisted, futuristic vision of India in different languages. Traversing time and space, each song on the album is a political and sociological statement combining genres from world, Indian fusion to electronica. Their live show is a high energy world electronica act with a full band. With a complete studio on stage Ashu and Dhruv are producing the music "live" so no 2 performances are ever the same! www.myspace.com/smokealbum |

Bliss LogicExperimental electro rock Bliss Logic is a Mumbai- based indie trio. The music is pretty easy listening with bursts at parts of elements of electro, drum n’ bass, rock, jazz and blues, which create a mood of their own and have a subtle message of their own too, which is totally open to the listener’s perception.

MIDIval PunditZElectronica-rock-Fusion Based in New Dehli, India, the internationally acclaimed MIDIval PunditZ are among the contemporary Indian outfits that combine high-tech electronica with a strong raga influence. The MIDIval PunditZ are not traditional Indian classical music à la Ravi Shankar, Bikram Ghosh or Ali Akbar Khan. However, their club-friendly electronic experimentation is heavily influenced by traditional Indian music (especially North Indian), and they combine electronic dance grooves with traditional, time-honored acoustic instruments like the santur and the tabla drums. |
