The video for Delhi-based guitarist Susmit Sen’s “Neptune’s Dance” follows the adventures of a child through the streets of New Delhi, who also meets each member of the band individually during the course of the video. This touching story of the economically underprivileged kid is soundtracked by the song’s soulful mix of Indian classical music and Western guitar-playing. “Neptune’s Dance” is from Sen’s second solo album Ocean to Ocean released in 2014.

Mumbai-based rapper Vivian Fernandes aka Divine joins forces with guest rapper Naezy from Amravati to deliver an ode to “the city that never sleeps”. In their single “Mere Gully Mein”, Naezy’s fast delivery perfectly compliments Divine’s catchy lyrics and choruses to create one hell of a Hindi rap song. The video is a ride through the slums of Mumbai and encapsulates the vibe of the city, albeit not at the supersonic pace that its residents are used to. “Mere Gully Mein,” is more chilled out than Mumbai will ever be.

The keyboards and acoustic guitars accompanied by mellow beatboxing, with a vocal duet by Rahul and Yuden to tie up the whole package with a nice little bow.
