HYDERABAD, INDIA | SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 With his eye on the US market, Indian artist HC is set to release his latest track, "MA-NI," on Friday, September 17th, 2024. With their signature blend of electronic sounds, masterful vocals, and rhythmic energy, HC Indiefied pushes the boundaries of modern music in this electrifying electro-trance song, with music that will appeal to electronic music lovers all over the world. With production skills that are comparable to artists such as Skrillex and Deadmau5, HC Indiefied is on track to gain a wider, global audience.

"MA-NI" is an innovative track that fuses a fast tempo with repetitive synthesizer lines, sharp drops, and a wide range of effects such as heavy delay and intricate build-up and breakdown structures. With global appeal and a genre-bending approach, HC Indiefied is carving out a unique space in the music world, crafting songs that are both sonically powerful and emotionally engaging.

The concept of "MA-NI" draws inspiration from the Indian musical tradition of Swarakshara, using musical notes in clever wordplay to create deeper meanings. As HC explains:
"'MA NI is a really interesting concept that I came up with, built around the idea of Swarakshara. It's an experiment with Indian musical notes, similar to how Western notes work, but in this case, it's wordplay with Indian notes. For example, the Indian equivalent of 'Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do' is 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da Ni Sa'. 'MA-NI' creates the word 'MONEY,' and 'PA-NI' creates the word 'PANI' (meaning Work in Telugu). 'GA-DA' forms the word 'GADA' (meaning 'Isn't It' in Telugu). This clever use of the notes is what drives the song. The abstract meaning? Stay true to your work, and wealth will follow."

A dynamic talent with roots in South India, HC first gained national attention as a third-place finalist on a national reality show. Since then, he has ventured into playback singing, contributing his voice to some of the Indian film industry's biggest productions, including the 2022 Oscar-winning film ‘RRR’. Now, HC is stepping into the spotlight as an EDM composer and singer-songwriter, marking his transition to the world of independent music.

"Yo, let me tell you something crazy about my journey. It all started on a national reality show where I stood as the third-place finalist. After that, I got into playback singing for Indian films, especially the Telugu film industry. And guess what? I had the chance to be part of some insane projects, including RRR – yeah, that Oscar-winning film. I was on the soundtrack! But now, I'm taking things to the next level. I'm stepping into the spotlight as a composer, singer-songwriter, and going full independent. I'm bringing my own flavor and starting my journey to becoming a pop star. This is just the beginning, and trust me, the music I'm about to drop is gonna hit different." - HC

"MA-NI" is set to be a game-changer for HC Indiefied, who is boldly stepping into the world of independent music with their genre-defying style. Fans can expect an electrifying sonic experience that combines Indian music theory with modern electronic sounds. This release marks the start of an exciting new chapter for HC, and there's much more to come.
