10 ARTISTS TO CHECK OUT IF YOU LIKE RITVIZ
Since his breakout hit Udd Gaye , Ritviz has cemented his presence in the Indian electronic scene with his unique blend of laidback vocals and classical / folk inspired electronica . With a slew of singles and Seedhe Maut and Nucleya collaborating for two new albums , Ritviz ’ s popularity only increases with every passing day . Here are a few other producers that you might like if you too vibe with Ritviz ’ s music .
Khanvict Even though he ’ s based in Surrey , Canada , Khanvict has been paying tribute to his Indian roots with his works of ‘ neo fusion ’ and folktronica . His latest EP Escape bears testimony to this with Kingdom and Closer being some stand-out tracks . For the former , he collaborated with Carnatic vocalist Amritha Shakti while the latter was also supported by a visually-powerful video with a social message against colourism ( that might excite fans of Ritviz ’ s aesthetic videos ).
MojoJojo Akshay Johar aka MojoJojo started out as a bassist for Paradigm but then transitioned to making some of India ’ s finest ‘ bassheavy music ’. From the Rajasthani folk-inspired Duniya to the North Indian rap anthem Galat Launda ( with Fotty Seven ), MojoJojo really knows how to helm crossovers .
KS Abhishek If you access any dedicated folktronica playlist in India , chances are that KS Abhishek ’ s name would pop up every once in a while . Just take the Kolkata-bred artist ’ s recent single Deejal Gaadi for instance ( a vernacular term for ‘ diesel car ’). Inspired by a folk song , he made use of his grandmother ’ s vocals and fused it with his unique indo-fusion production . This is just the tip of the iceberg if you check out Abhishek ’ s music .
V3K Birthing his career at the mere age of 16 , V3K has been on the forefront of music genres and creating an alternate electronica rather than the standard ‘ bass-drop music ’ that had once saturated the indie scene . Also serving as the producer of the alt hip-hop collective Street Academics , some must-listen tracks of V3K include Kettile and Kalapila .
Tech Panda Just like Ritviz ’ s classical roots , Tech Panda started his musical journey by playing the tabla and the keyboard . Since the late 2010s , he began to get the spotlight as one of India ’ s freshest faces when it comes to minimal techno and indieelectronica . Guftagu , Tudta Taara , Super Naani , Last Tear , are some of his many singles that showcase his musical versatility .
