It was in a late-night Mumbai studio’s dim glow that a conversation about resilience dared to birth something unforgettable “WOUNDED-AIR.” The new release from B68, produced under the mentorship of Meer Shettigar, gestates a tragically beautiful entry into the city’s evolving electronic soundscape. The title almost feels tangible, like it’s seen some hurt but is still lightly trembling with life.
Laid in striking textures and deep, pulsating bass tremors, “WOUNDED-AIR” holds the thin line between chaos and order. It sounds like a city that never sleeps and a sack that won’t quit beating. Yet, behind the song is a tale of connection. B68 and Meer met deep in the underground music arteries that flow through Mumbai. They became friends through the belief that sound could also heal. The friendship soon gave birth to Boombai Beats, a label formed by Meer in 2025 to give emerging early voices room to explore openness with rhythm. “WOUNDED-AIR” isn’t just the song, it’s a release in every sense of the word. Recorded after dark, on one of those quiet city nights where the pulsating hum vibrates past the studio's walls, the recording radiates intimacy and reflection. It’s intentional, the track of an artist learning to turn wounds into waves. On this release, B68 doesn’t betray a sound, they feel.
Their cut “WOUNDED-AIR” is a moment positioned between pain and reorientation, a musical entity that reminds audiences that even fractured air can still carry music worth breathing.
