The anticipated album of DynoMan, 'Naubahar' is finally out. What can be described as electric, tribal and just enchanting.

His experiments with the unknown and his determination of perfecting each element of sound has led to a brilliant production. Highly recommended you share and download this album.

We thank him for working with us with in a project. Thumps up DynoMan !

16 track album

Hello friends. We just released our latest film called 'Home', check it out ! Though some have told me, it was more like a music video and it may seem like that, it depends on how you look at it but either way, we hope you found something to like about the film. DynoMan, who has given us a help with this film, is a brilliant electronic artist from Pakistan, who explores, experiments with many sounds to produce his exciting music. We will definitely cover his gigs this December and keep you posted.

Anyway as you know we do whatever we can with whatever we have, so we will start to bring a few more videos to this page in due time. Thank you for sticking around !

How do you see your world ? Not so strange, not so exciting ?

Maybe once in a while, a few times, in a moment where we catch ourselves in the act of existing, we glimpse the strange, unimaginable, magnificent world we have become accustomed to and suddenly see how words, objects, actions seem funny and odd. It may happen more frequent when visiting another place with a different culture and surrounding.

The exciting becomes ordinary when familiar.

This is a short film intended to explore this theme with a simple setting.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hello folks ! We still have a good amount of followers who enjoyed our videos and stuck around. We believe in good ideas and that doesn't mean expressing it through an expensive equipment but instead to do 'whatever you have, where ever you are, to do what ever you can to express the idea'

Now we haven't been around much but hopefully we'll kick start some projects soon. We have a new short film coming up called 'Home' which we shoot in Newport, Wales. It is not a huge project but it is thought provoking, at least that is what we expect. It is currently in post production. I hope you'll enjoy it
..And lastly thank you so much for sticking around, you guys are awesome ! We want to make this page big, some day.

The idea was to record a drum cover but it seems that one mic just doesn't do the trick when it comes to perfect sound equalization i.e. mixing with the music but it sounds decent without the mix.

So here is Uzair jamming some random grooves and displaying some awkwardness when people interrupt his jam.

Drum covers to be released soon.
