For #BandcampFriday I've compiled this expansive list (including diaspora artists) into @buymusicclub lists (where bandcamp links are available). Bear with me as these evolve and are pretty generic right now. Feel free to @ / DM me to be included.
rock also consists of genres like metal, jazz, whatever else that isn't hip-hop or electronic. there's something for everyone in these lists so I hope you have fun. chuck it in your mixes, play it on your radio shows, send it to your parents, support musicians if and when you can
I'm also working on a directory - when I can - that already consists of like 400 musicians. if you've DM'd me or emailed me, I'll eventually get back to you but I am seeing your messages and will add you to these lists!

I remember that summer being sweaty and heading down to the beach through a packed TTC, 'Best I Ever Had' serenading couples walking hand in hand. 'Housatlantavegas' playing at dance parties, the world collapsing into each slowed down bar.
Hello! Here's a thread of some excellent South Asian music. I hope you find something you like in here. The list spans new releases, personal favourites, labels, seminal albums and gibberish I've been thinking about lately:
(For now, I'm going to be put the diaspoara aside. That would require a different thread) It's #BandcampFriday tomorrow , & I'm creating something @buymusicclub lists for this. In the meantime:
Firstly, let's shout out @prabhdeepmusic's 'Class-Sikh' Rapped entirely in Punjabi, the album sees the New Delhi artist wearing his heart on his sleeve, discussing the pitfalls of drug addiction, seeing friends in jail & being a survivor of a genocide prabhdeep.bandcamp.com/album/class-si…
