Best of 2020

Maed in India ·

2021/01/04

Apart from “quarantine” and “lockdown”, a contender for 2020’s word of the year has to be “uncertainty”. Our recording sessions came to a grinding halt in March and we were stuck indoors through most of the year, unsure of when we’d be able to get back into the studio again. Yet, as we look back at 2020 (even though many of us may not want to), the one thing that remained the same was darn good music. So let’s enjoy some of the best performances on Maed in India last year. Song List: Ep.201

Maed in India ·

2020/08/15

The month of August is special because it’s when India celebrates its independence. Considering the times we live in, which is tough and tense.
