Considering that the month of Feb, is one of love and Valentines, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to petition for new terms of endearment. “Honey”, “sweetie” and “cutie pie” are so passe. Mae would like to induct a new entrant into our love vocabulary - “falooda”. And, of course, you get a side of some pretty sweet music to go with it.

Song List:

The Revisit Project - Locked Away ft. Vrnda Dhar (01:25 - 06:43)

GURU - Somras ft. Regis (07:47 - 11:51)

Purple Cassette - Home Song (13:09 - 16:17)

Juman The Band - Beheka Mann (17:34 - 22:40)

Khaosound - Trail Runner (23:52 - 27:49)

Merak - A Fine Mess (29:11 - 33:05)

Now it’s impossible to feature every song ever released in the Indian independent music scene on Maed in India (even all the good ones). The show would be really long. Yet, that doesn’t mean that Mae wasn’t feeling some FOMO as we entered 2021. So here’s a mixtape of the goodies we missed featuring on Maed in India in 2020.

 

Song List:

Yodadrunk - I Break (01:40 - 04:24)

Aditi Ramesh - Sambar Soul (06:02 - 09:28)

Nush Lewis & Kamakshi Khanna - Letters to myself (10:21 - 13:57)

Naveen Richard - Ajinomoto (14:43 - 17:12)

Saby ft. Pho & Frappe Ash - About You (18:05 - 20:55)

Raghav Meattle - City Life (21:30 - 24:04)

Aneesha, Kenzani x Tech Panda - Uncertainty (25:38 - 29:39)

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)
