What do you get when Chennai -based rapper and Mumbai -based electronic music manufacturer? It turns out that ‘vibe’ is directly contagious. Anish, who is known by the pal dabba, form a team with Survesh, known as Sikflip, to give a style-melody track that is part, part riot and 100% replay-worthy. Designed for the Kingfisher expedition, the song mixes the Tamil bar with slicking electronic beats in an animated video. If this was not enough, another short video features Sunrisers Hyderabad Squad Busting Tricks as it is part of their training Rezimen.
Discussing their cross-patience cooperation, Sarvesh says, “Music is a parlokik language-the field does not matter. Pal is from Chennai, I am from Mumbai, and of course, he brings to Tamil. But what was clicked-we are simply connected.”
A promise was relieved ‘Why Pale box?’ Question, Anish opens about music rather than Monikar. “When I heard that Sikflip was producing it, I was really excited. We would never work together before, and honestly, I would never cooperate outside Tamil Nadu. So, yes, yes, it was my first project with me, and felt as if a new creative place opened.”
Sarvesh said, “The goal was to create a track that still made us feel true as artists aligning with the sound of the campaign. We worked with the agency to mix our creative world with them, and the result felt like an ideal middle ground.”
Unclear style
Speaking of cooperation, Anish admitted that he was excited and a little uncertain at first. “I am a kind of person who likes to detect various styles. Sikflip is a crazy manufacturer and DJ, he understands music so well, and is good in electronics and sounds – I have never touched that style before. In the beginning, in the beginning, we planned to do so in Amaapiano music, but changed our mind. Once she started writing on the track.
The song came directly from real life, Aneesh says. “When I heard the music, there was such a stretch in it,” he explains. “So I decided to write about things that I do every day – hanging with friends, riding your bike, go to clubs. Just a random moment. If you hear songs, it’s all – my daily scenes, together in a song.”
For Sarvesh, cooperation in languages and cultures is a familiar area. “Coming from electronic music space, I have worked with all artists – an Irish MC and lyricist, five songs with Platek Kuhad, and even a track with Shruti Haasan in Tamil and English.
Sarvesh mixes traditional sounds in its modern electronic compositions. “I like to work with traditional equipment-Gonies sweet and percasive. While I make music digitally on a laptop, I do not always make a machine-manufactured sound for it. The soil is something beautiful about the organic texture, and I enjoy bringing them to my track.”
Tamil Vocals shaped the vibe core. “Once the pable sent his parts, I built the sound around his energy,” Saravesh says. “We went ahead online between Mumbai and Chennai until it was clicked. For me, Vocals lead – everything else is as follows.”
Sarvesh feels that it is fun to roll things with some new steps that surprise people. “We dropped the song on the first streaming platforms, followed by a song video and an animated version. The Sunrisers Hyderabad Video – We have both released on YouTube and do national TV hits. We have also made social media content, especially for reels, because our audience has a lot.”
On naming the track, Anish says, “Hook’s vibe, okay? It keeps repeating the entire song, so we thought – why uproot it? Let’s just call it what it is,” he laughs.
