Ashish Tiwari Music is a compact but fertile creative island tucked inside Mumbai’s western suburb of Mira Road-a single-room studio that somehow compresses the traffic, neon and monsoon of the city into forty square metres of calm obsession. Tiwari, a ghazal-trained guitarist who later switched lanes to Hindustani-slide, set it up in 2018 because “every tune needs a place to be finished in peace.” The façade is unremarkable: a powder-blue roller door squeezed between an orthodontist’s clinic and a vada-pav stall. Push the door past a brass plaque shaped like a dilruba and you step onto amber teak flooring littered gently with cables, tablas leaned against the wall like sleepy sentinels, and a framed black-and-white of Begum Akhtar watching everyone with benevolent, dim-lit eyes.

At the centre sits the heart of operations: a five-station workstation running Reaper through a Warm Audio pre-amp, but flanked by gear that travels further east and west than any immigration officer: a 1967 WEM Copicat delay next to a taar shehnai pedal Tiwari welded himself, a dusty harmonium humming in the C major of some crumbling Lucknow baithak. The vocal booth-thickly curtained in indigo khadi-feels like a hushed train compartment; singers routinely walk out saying they forgot which city they were in. Live instruments bleed into 4 a.m. breakdowns. A bansuri noodle recorded last night might wake up tomorrow with a 303 acid line for company; yet, because each diaphragm hears the room’s honey-smooth reverb, the fusion never feels pasted.

Ashish Tiwari Music is not a label and not quite a service house; it self-describes as a “thank-you note to sound.” The credits on recent releases spell this out: Marathi indie-folk quartet 29 Rukhgat, YouTuber sailor-turned-seagazer Aishwarya Das, and Qatar-based spoken-word poet Sarah Al-Mansouri have all booked windows between monsoons. Most projects begin with chai boiled on a single-burner stove wedged under the sound-desk; Tiwari insists this precise ratio of cardamom to conversation predicts tempo. Over only five years his fingerprints have wandered onto Spotify’s Loose Ends playlist,<|reserved_token_163664|>
