To set the tone, we had RECK artists Andrew Sabu and Micah Vidyasagar playing unplugged sets of their fresh, unreleased music, followed by a much-needed open discussion about the music scene in Bangalore and its associated sub-cultures, and finally an exclusive low-down of what’s going to unfold on the 9th. 🔥

Speakers:
Akshay Deokuliar / DE•O -
Musician and CEO, RECK.
Andrew Sabu - Artist and MD, RECK.
Yohan Sudheer - Founding Member, RECK. / Partner, Fishhook.
Amrutha Jalihal - Content Associate, LBB Bangalore.
Varun Hemachandran - Future Business, The Bohemian House.

A select few of you spent your Saturday evening contributing to the movement and listening to music, which is what we’re aiming to protect!

Fam!

In a time where music and the arts are taking a beating from unfair government regulations, venues are being shut down, and independent artists are finding it increasingly difficult to make a sustainable living, the sxene 2.0 is where we come together to 🤘🏻 After last year’s ridiculous and well-received debut edition, we’re taking things to the next level. Come and get your minds blown by some of the freshest homegrown acts:

Ramya Pothuri
chrms
HanuMankind

And over the next couple of days we're going to announce some major things and trust us - there's plenty of madness to go around.🔥 the sxene is you - the people.

RECK.

Two years ago we started out with one goal in mind - to .
We were a bunch of musicians, artists, managers who were desperate for a new order in the music industry. We were sick of the norm. Of artists being treated like commodities, of independent music slowly fading away, of live experiences being about how much a club can earn on the night.

We envisioned a new order. An order with artists being able to pay bills and live venues packed through the week. We imagined a culture where everyone paid for music and new artists thrived. Where the music truly took center stage.
We knew it wasn’t going to be easy and the last two years were anything but.
We’re still here, though. And the movement begins.
®RECK. () is a new-wave record label, media company, and creative agency.

Stick around for the flip,

The Sxene: A New Event Kicks Off at The Cave Skatepark, Bengaluru - The show will feature performances by alt rockers The F16s and multi-instrumentalist/rapper DE•O

You know what’s mad? Everyone’s homeboy DE•O will be performing his much-awaited debut EP for the first time ever, exclusively at the sxene™.

A multi-instrumentalist, producer, and a popular figure in the independent circuit, he will be singing, rapping and drumming, bringing his unique perspective to hip-hop and electro-pop.

And, he’s supported by the power packed combination of Hashbass and Bharath Kumar.

You wanted some fresh dance music? We’re bringing it.

We always dig working with sponsors who vibe with us and what we believe in. Happy to announce that OnePlus India is the principal sponsor of the sxene™ and has played a crucial role in us pulling this off.

Mad partnerships make for mad gigs.

Here’s something: the sxene on the 17th of Nov, in BLR, will be a 100% NO GUEST LIST event.

We strongly believe that guest lists are a huge part of the problem in the sxene today and it’s time we created a culture where no one gets free things and everyone pays to hear great music.

Everyone at the sxene will be buying a ticket. From our core team, to our volunteers, sponsors, partners, influencers and more.

This is how you support the sxene.

This is how you .
