The Sound of Chennai Indie

“The Sound of Chennai Indie” is a deep dive into the city’s growing and eclectic independent music scene. From dreamy synth-pop by The F16s and laid-back Tamil acoustic tracks from Kaber Vasuki, to genre-bending fusions by acts like Jatayu and Oorka, the playlist covers a wide spectrum of sound. You'll also find gritty alt-rock from Junkyard Groove and Gooth, hip-hop and electro from Urban Thozha and MC DEVESH, and funk-led grooves via Funktuation.

There’s a mix of English, Tamil, and genre-crossing instrumentals that reflects how artists in Chennai are experimenting with both sound and language. Whether it's a mellow cut like “i'll find my way to you tomorrow” by Kevin Fernando, the prog-metal edge of Orderealm, or the jazz-fusion stylings of Indosoul, this playlist pieces together a snapshot of a scene that's moving in multiple directions at once—but all grounded in a strong local identity.
