5 indie musicians you need to follow on SoundCloud

The Sine Painter

Bangalore-based producer Jayanth Ramachandra, better known as The Sine Painter, is one to watch. His downtempo tunes got him into the Red Bull Music Academy Montreal 2016 – a highly selective world-travelling series of music-workshops and festivals. (PS: He is one of just two producers from India.)

If you want to spot an artist before they get super-famous, SoundCloud's the place to find them. Here are a few artists you need to add to your playlists RN.

AUDI0comingS00N 

DJ and model-on-the-rise, Ashton Gohil, deserves much Insta-stalking. When he’s not casually getting photographed with Alessandra Ambrosio or chatting with Naomi Campbell backstage, the Londoner spins bass and house music as one half of DJ duo AUDI0comingS00N, which he started with fellow model Emmanuel Lawal. His addictive sets have taken him from underground haunt Bitterzoet (Amsterdam) to London-favourite Roundhouse.

Oceantied

Bangalore-based Oceantied, a solo electronic project by Ketan Bahirat, goes anywhere from shimmery ambient to jungle music. The producer recently served up bangers for Croatia’s Outlook and Dimensions Festival. While his new EP is currently in the works, the steady trickle of tracks and mixes on his SoundCloud page should keep you hooked. Our favourite? The super charged ‘Revolution’.

Horsepowar

Jasleen Powar (aka Horsepowar) rose to fame after her song 'Hi Everybody' went viral. The 24-year-old from Canada makes a delectable concoction of desi-fused hip-hop (with Bollywood samples) and brings her energetic slam-poetry honed chops to the mix.

Raveena Aurora

The bright new singer from New York documents an abusive relationship with her soft, sweet voice on ‘Johnny It’s The Last Time’. The unlikely combination is at once uplifting and endearing. Her jazz-inspired tunes promise to keep you hooked through long, sunny days.
