Saqib, Naayaab - Mehfil

Kindisch proudly presents ‘Mehfil’, a unique collaboration between Brooklyn-based producer Saqib and Mumbai’s rising star Naayaab. Blending deep electronic grooves with South Asian storytelling, the three- track release, Original, Dub Mix, and a remix by Atish, offers a rich, emotional take on modern romance through the lens of the classic Laila-Majnu tale.

Saqib, known for his high-energy DJ sets and genre-bending productions on labels like Sol Selectas and Abracadabra, brings years of musical depth shaped by his early roots in Lahore’s metal scene. Naayaab, a self-taught interdisciplinary artist, blends indie, disco, tech-house, and melodic elements into a sound that is bold, immersive, and emotionally resonant. She made her debut with Saqib on the celebrated Indo Warehouse label with their release Samundar, further establishing her voice as a bold new presence in the global electronic landscape.

Naayaab’s lyrics reimagine Laila as a powerful, independent figure navigating a world of fleeting connections and emotional distance, while Majnu becomes the eternal seeker of true intimacy. In the Original Mix, soft strings and dreamy vocals swirl over organic house rhythms. The Dub Mix highlights the instrumental beauty, while Atish’s remix transforms Mehfil into a club-focused journey with a pulsing indie dance bassline.

Mehfil by Saqib & Naayaab will be released on May 2nd, 2025 via Kindisch.
