ChaiTunes Music Project It all started when Assamese musician and producer Jim Ankan Deka met Carnatic classical vocalist Suchethan Rangaswamy in Bangalore sometime in 2008. They started a band called Veenar which released couple of fusion songs with videos where they played all the instruments and sang live. With the similar thought, after seven years, Jim with his team started ChaiTunes Project in Bangalore. The ChaiTunes music project began in 2015 with a collaborative enterprise called ' Xaare Aasu ' led by Jim in Bangalore, and has so far expanded into Calcutta, Guwahati, Pune and Shillong. The music project is funded and powered by Bangalore based music organisation Eastern Fare Foundation and Bangalore based media house Music Malt.

Music Malt Online Fest-2017 winners! Festival date - October 18, 2017. First of all, thank you all for the overwhelming response to MMOF 2017. In its fourth edition, #MMOF was introduced to a plethora of talent from across the globe. No matter how clichéd it sounds, do believe us when we say that we had a tough time deciding on the winners. Our judges went through hundreds of videos, debated and nearly fought over the long list, short list, and finally the winners. There were many amazing videos we could not accept as all the criteria were not met. Among the ones accepted, in some instances the videos were amazing but the music didn’t make the cut, and in other instances vice versa. Remember, we were looking for an original song that creates the perfect alchemy between music and visuals. And after much thought and deliberation, we have our final three.
