with Khwaab

Part I

The Refrain focusses on Nishant Nagar – who goes by the moniker of Khwaab – and is a Mumbai/Delhi based Music Producer & a Singer/Songwriter. With a unique dreamy texture in his work and a desire to create a new sound for Hindi Music supported by ambient electronica, Khwaab strives to paint a picture of his eclectic thoughts with his words and music.

In the first part of the episode we discuss Nishant’s journey as a producer and composer, how he spent his time during the lockdown, the evolution of Khwaab and the ambient atmospheric soundscapes that have come to be associated with him.

Nishant has been extremely kind to share his tracks which can be heard at the end of each part.
