Bass treats from India's homegrown talent.
NUCLEYA
Nobody owned the stage quite like NUCLEYA at NH7 Weekender 2013. His brand of dubstep infused with Indian spices connected with the audience like no other. His 2013 Koocha Monster EP was met with great praise from critics and fans alike. The EP was matched with artwork quality of equal measure ( see here).

B.R.E.E.D
Remember DJ Nasha? If not, you're too young and need to see this. B.R.E.E.D is his sinister alter ego which he uses to produce some dark, bass heavy tunes. Based out of Mumbai, he's been active since 1999 and has gained the reputation to orchestrate dance riots from behind the decks.

While others score high on heavy bass lines, Piyush Bhatnagar's drum patterns will blow your mind in equal measure.
