  • Tarsem - New Delhi's Shrewdest Loan Shark ft. Jubin Jose
    It's Diwali night! You're feeling lucky. The entire capital is wrapped up like a gift box. Fireworks don the the grey night sky while the city roads are pleasantly deserted. You want to try your luck somewhere but you happen to be buried in debt, from all the games you played the week preceding Diwali. There's still one door you can knock, one table you can sit on and one man who can loan you, your starting 30 chips. 
    His name is Tarsem - New Delhi's Shrewdest Loan Shark. Legend says Tarsem could read your luck just by a gaze into your eyes. If he trusted you with his money, you were either in the luck of your life or about to be clutched into a debt trap from the deepest circles of hell. 
    Tune-in for a walk through the world of Delhi's gambling dens, hidden in plain-sight behind locked doors and secret passages.

  • Dino - Your Friendly Neighbourhood Voyeur ft. Shaks
    Eavesdropping didn't come naturally to Dino. He once got his hands on a wireless radio receiver which belonged to his cop father's PCR van. He overheard cops in their natural state, discussing mafia bosses, politicians and celebrity scoops. That was it. From that moment on, he got hooked to the idea of entering people's lives as an invisible listener. A perfect voyeur, who heard it all, saw it all,  knew it all yet was someone, nobody ever saw, heard or knew of. An urban ghost.
