When asked about the collaboration of two creative minds coming together, Ayush told us how he and Anmol share the same passion for electronic music and wished to create music out of it with their journey through life, drawing inspiration from around and one of their favourites, David Phoenix! It was he who approached them on Instagram, showing appreciation for their music and also asking them if they would be interested in contributing their part to his new label, “Vision Serpent.” That’s how their Venom EP came into the picture. The two believe in the fact that less is good, and with a mind open to experiments, they compose their music from scratch instead of taking out references and then working on them. The title track from the EP, “Venom,” made it’s spot in the Beatport Top 100 Charts worldwide as well.
Ayush and Anmol gave us more insights into their process of music production, saying that their second track, “Third Eye,” was an eye-opener for them. As Ayush ran his tech startup in Bengaluru and Anmol worked as a maverick realtor in Gurgaon, the duo worked hard to meet the ends initially and took out time to satisfy their souls by creating music as independent artists for almost a decade. It was then curating “Third Eye,” and the immense positive response that they received made them give music a proper chance and move to Goa in December 2023.
Something interesting about the duo is that they don’t just create music but also cook food, share a space, travel, and spend time watching sports or playing poker together, which keeps them close and helps them develop an understanding that eventually helps them give out their energies to their music. Ayush and Anmol, who come from different cultural backgrounds, are passionate about underground electronic music and want to provide a niche audience with a varied musical experience.
The duo is looking forward to their tour of Europe and the UK in July–August 2024, where they will be playing in Flucc, Vienna, as a part of David Phoenix’s label showcase. They have yet to announce the remaining tour dates on their social media. They are also keen on exploring different genres and playing with them to create a multi-genre album that they wish to release over time.
