New Delhi’s Blu Attic steps up on Indo Warehouse with a striking two-track EP, Khoya / Raahon — a deeply textured, emotionally resonant take on modern Melodic House. Merging progressive rhythms with flickers of hard groove and subtle nods to Indian classical music, the release highlights Blu Attic’s ability to balance technical depth with soul-stirring atmosphere. The introspective vocals bring a raw, human energy to his sound, grounding the cinematic layers in something deeply personal. Following a previous release on Anjunadeep’s Explorations, the rising producer continues to carve a path that’s both globally tuned and culturally rooted.

 

“Khoya”, blends modern and classic strands of progressive house, pulling inspiration from early Deadmau5 and Juan Atkins. Built around the bright, elevating Lydian mode (Raag Yaman), it’s rich in harmonic layers and melodic nuance, a clear nod to Blu Attic’s background in classical and jazz piano.

As Blu Attic puts it, “This project represents flow for me; everything about these tracks just came naturally to me, from the themes to the minute details in production.”

 

Vocalist Ved, who features on Khoya, adds: “This project is deeply personal. I wanted the lyrics to feel like half-forgotten memories — hazy, emotional, unresolved.”

 

On the flip, “Raahon” shifts gears into a more groove-driven, club-ready terrain. Rooted in ‘90s Hardgroove (think Ben Sims, Mark Broom) with traces of trance, it’s a rhythm-focused, minimal workout that delves into the theme of self-discovery through detachment. Vocalist Aaromal shares: “Raahon is about being lost, and finding the way and being intuitive about it. It also reflects our dynamic as creative collaborators, allowing our intuitions to guide the process.”
