Fête de la Musique 2021 - Lifafa in conversation w/ Rounak Maiti [21-06-2021]
Suryakant Sawhney, better known as Lifafa has blended the nuances of old and new to create a contemporary sound that is Indian and heart but truly worldly in its outlook. He entire body of work beginning with his eponymous debut album in 2013, to his critically-acclaimed release Jaago in 2019, to his most recent SUPERPOWER 2020 have cemented his name as light to look towards in India’s musical landscape. This is, of course, discounting his other body of work as part of indie darlings Peter Cat Recording Co. which stands tall in its own right.
Catch him in conversation with producer, songwriter and boxout.fm host Rounak Maiti on World Music Day.

Fête de la Musique 2021 - Wax Tailor in conversation w/ DJ Uri [21-06-2021]
A craftsman on the margins of the music-industry, resilient to ephemeral musical trends, Wax Tailor continues to dig its groove in the shadow of the media’s “suns”. A French independent producer recognized internationally, he has been on the road for more than 20 years, has released 6 studio albums, played more than 800 concerts in 60 countries and won numerous awards.
His latest album ‘The Shadow Of Their Suns’ features guests such as Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees and Del The Funky Homosapien. To talk about that and hopefully a lot more, Wax Tailor joins one of India’s finest turntablists and hip-hop flag bearers DJ Uri in conversation for what is set to be an entertaining World Music Day exchange.
