Subcon Supply

Musicians, producers, and sound artists Krishna Jhaveri and Sanaya Ardeshir (aka Sandunes) have carried with them a strong connection to the diverse and wonderful instruments from the Indian Subcontinent.

The sārangī is a bowed, short-necked string instrument played in Punjabi folk music, Rajasthani folk music, and Boro folk music in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It is said to most resemble the sound of the human voice through its ability to imitate vocal ornaments such as gamaks (shakes) and meends (sliding movements). The Rubab is known as “the lion of instruments” with origins as early as the 7th century CE in Afghanistan but has since proliferated throughout West, Central, South, and Southeast Asia. The Rubab is featured in many classical and traditional folk and melodies and is often referred to by Afghan and Persian Sufi poets such as Rumi. Subcon Supply is inspired by the coming together of these traditional and contemporary instrumentalists from Nepal, Pakistan, and India with a hard nod to headbop and lofi hip-hop that Sunday Supply is known for. The sounds from the pack are an invitation to create from a new crossover world of live dirty drums, syncopated percussion, and lush traditional string instruments.
