Nucleya: India's electronic music scene lacks support
11 Feb
Summary
- Nucleya feels India's electronic music lacks a supportive system.
- He prefers intimate venues over large stages for better connection.
- Bollywood often disregards music, lacking genuine interest.
Nucleya, a pivotal figure in India's independent electronic music, has voiced concerns about the genre's underdeveloped infrastructure. He observes a widespread appreciation for electronic music but notes the absence of a robust system to nurture local talent and ensure consistent production of world-class music. This lack of support, he suggests, is also reflected in mainstream cinema's general disinterest in music.
While Nucleya has collaborated with individuals in Bollywood and the South Indian film industry, he maintains a critical stance, emphasizing that his participation is contingent on genuine artistic merit rather than industry demands. He recently performed at SulaFest 2026, advocating for originality and questioning the constant rehashing of old music or borrowing of scripts from other industries when India possesses strong original stories.
