Kuru Circus was initially conceived as a performance art project which largely incorporated soundscapes to the graphic novel - 'The Kuru Chronicles' by Ari Jayaprakash and Anisha Sridhar. However, their music has since expanded into other sonic territories with the addition of new band members. These tracks will be released separately following the arrival of the bands album later in the year.

The current Kuru Circus tour features main band members Ari Jayaprakash (Rogue Atari) from Bangalore and Chintan Kalra (IMFL) from New Delhi along with guest artists Sandeep Madhavan (The Burning Deck) and Shayne Ballantyne from Goa.

Berdosa is a three piece, heavy-laden, psychedelic rock band from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The band consists of Ravi Shankar on Drums, Ezekiel Mavani on Bass, and Afiq Iskandar on Vocals & Guitar duties with a healthy serving of fuzz on the side. 
The sound can be best described as a dysfunctional, yet amicable marriage between early 90’s alternative metal and the contemporary fuzzed-out stoner rock bands. As far as the influences go, bands such as Deftones, Windhand, Chevelle, Weedeater, Mastodon, Black Sabbath, Tool, Meshuggah (yes, that Meshuggah) and the mighty Electric Wizard often thrown around the rehearsal space. As a sonic unit, the band pushes the composite boundaries of the arguably comfortable ‘’stoner rock’’ sound by incorporating drop C tuned harsh-noise sequencing, samples, ethnic percussions and even classical strings, while simultaneously retaining downtrodden sludge rhythms, time-warped solos and reverberated vocals. So much reverb. 
The band has released 2 singles to date, Thundergun and Digimon Democracy, which are available on Spotify, Itunes, Soundcloud and other major music streaming sites. The band's EP titled, Smells Like Tree Spirit is currently available for purchase.

Margasatwa is a Malaysian Rock group formed by 5 young men from 5 states of Malaysia. Kimal (Terengganu), Syahir Majid (Perak), Fadhil Imran James (Sabah), Shadiq Sapian (Pahang) and Shahir Samsi (Kuala Lumpur). The band developed its sound to elements of Jazz, Malay Folk/Traditional music, Ballad, Psychedelic and Hard Rock to forge a unique Fusion Rock/Ballad signature. They recorded their first demo at Fasola Studio where Shadiq worked as a sound engineer and music tutor. Margasatwa played in gig spaces increasing their fans with different conceptual approach in their performances like reciting a poem, acting and auctioning their own painting. Their theatrical performance and songwriting gives a fresh approach to Nu-Malaysiana and Nusantara Rock music. Later in 2017, the band got its first break when they were signed by the legendary record label Luncai Emas. Their songs are said to move in the direction of the Maestro of Malay songs, M.Nasir. Early 2018 they released a single called Ego and the song had numerous write up and received positive feedback from listeners, industry experts and critics alike. Margasatwa is set to release their debut album end of 2018.
