For our 25th release, we welcome Weird Sounding Dude, a Bangalore-based artist from India, back to the imprint for his highly anticipated solo EP titled "Arcade". Better to known to his friends and family as Abhijith Hegde, Weird Sounding Dude made his debut appearance on Juicebox Music back in 2014 through his powerful remix of Diego Azocar's ‘Homenaje'. He went on to release music on Ruiz Sierra's "Egothermia", Michael A's "Genesis", Alex Nemec's "Mirabilis" and more recently Norman Hines' "Stripped" and Jacqueline and Riley Reinhold's "Traum". He's drawn his influences as an avid fan of the underground sound in dance music as well as his experiences as a DJ, especially after his appearances in top Indian festivals like Sunburn, R.E.S.E.T, CTRLALTDANCE and Krank as well as opening for highly inspiring international acts such as Freerange Records' Jimpster, Afterlife's VAAL and Kompakt's Dauwd.

After honing his productions skills through the years, his current sonic-signature lies between the soulfulness of the deeper end of the musical spectrum, the hypnotic melodies of progressive as well as the grooves of techno. Showcasing that amalgamation is Weird Sounding Dude's 5-track ‘Arcade' EP.
