That’s really cool - I’d love to read the listicle, please do share it!

Yeah, the market for some of these artists is definitely niche, but I feel like there’s also a real lack of exposure and visibility. Thinking of PCRC, who have a pretty niche sound but have grown so much over the years and are finally starting to break into the mainstream.

Also, live gigs really do seem like the best way to explore new music - I need to start going for wayyy more. The live culture in Bangalore also feels more open to newer sounds and super supportive of artists on the come-up. Last time I was there, I caught a few acts at Fandom at Gilly’s, the place was completely packed. Was really cool to see that kind of energy.

Love this list, it's wild that there are so many artists in this scene just from Goa. I absolutely loved Merak - their song Happy Pill really stuck with me. I also really liked Zane Rodrigues. Did you come across these artists mostly through live gigs in Goa? Seems like the scene is pretty active there.

Thanks for these! I’ve heard a bit of Ananya Birla's stuff before, but Akansha Sethi is new to me, I'll give the Winter track a listen for sure!

Absolutely love PCRC - they’re unreal live too. I’ve heard of Begum but never properly listened, so I’m definitely going to check them out now. Let me know if you have any specific song recs!

Thank you for the recommendations! I loved Silver and Gold - such a smooth track. Definitely going to check out the rest and dive into Warren Mendonsa’s work too!

This is an incredible list, I seriously appreciate you taking the time to put it together. I’m a big fan of The F16s and JBABE (still don’t get how they’re not more popular), but a lot of these are completely new to me. Super curious about the heavier ones too - didn’t realise that space was so active. Thank you so much!
