This is not a drill – Maed Mixtapes are back! Well, er… this isn’t a Maed mixtape, technically. After months of resistance towards mixtapes from Maed in India’s very own Partner/Legal Council/Financial Advisor/Administrator/ Head of Production and everything in between, Shaun Fanthome (who wanted to focus on our studio sessions), he has finally relented. Not just that, he was like, “You know what, I’m going to put together a mixtape of my own!” (with Mae’s blessing, of course). Well, this is that mixtape. Enjoy!

Song List:

That Good Good - Walk of Shame (ft. YodaDrunk) (02:22 - 05:21)

Sampriti - KENIGOL (ft. National Animal) (07:03 - 11:34)

Harsh Barar - Main Tera Hoon (13:40 - 16:32)

No Neighbours Around - In the Night (17:42 - 20:05)

Mocaine - Psilocybin (21:10 - 25:17)

He tells us more about how his Shashwat and Bullu sides come together on his debut album Pinocchio, his brief foray into comedy, how Aakash Mehta pushed him to focus on his music, and why he avoids existentialism in his songs. He also performs two tracks from his debut album, and one he wrote very recently!
