What is Boxout?

Boxout is an online radio station that was started back in April 2017 by Sahej Bakshi aka Dualist Inquiry and DJ MoCity. With several years of experience, while playing across the entire Indian music circuit, the two found an urgent need for a community-run platform focusing on alternative music and culture in India.

Why I love Boxout.fm?

Being a community radio, it was bound to have impacted the community in various ways. As a music enthusiast and business professional, personally, I have managed to discover so many fresh talents in the country that I would probably not have come across. This was just easily and efficiently done through boxout. Not only do they cover popular sub-genres of electronic music like techno and deep house but I was really excited to see one of my favorite artists Nishant Gill aka

Boxout.fm Understanding The Need Gap!

“Most of the clubs in India these days, what they don't understand about electronic music is that there is more coming! A lot more! Boxout does! They are spreading like wildfire which is great for the industry as it will give more opportunities to those producing and playing different shades of electronic music.”

Boxout is fresh, innovative and exactly what the scene needed when it seemed to be stagnating. Their music curation and social aesthetic is on point and they are doing a great job associating with the right entities."

“Boxout.fm understands that the best way to give people music is to lay it all down on the table and let them decide. Whether it's the live sessions they broadcast, the gigs they host, the numerous channels they've got up and running - there is never a dull moment when you've got so much to explore. That's the best part about radio, especially when there are no ads at all.”, he said.

Boxout.fm and Brands

How does boxout manage without ads on the radio then? They have been extremely smart with their brand partnerships. Boxout curates some of the best curated live music experiences, especially around Delhi. The most prominent being Boxout Wednesdays at Summerhouse backed by Budweiser. They also have tie-ups with Music companies like Bandcamp, cross country venue chains like Social and lifestyle companies like Homegrown and Levis. This gives them a broader reach. As we know, everything sells better with music.

“It’s for good reason that a lot of the big brands decided to get involved. Boxout built a culture and a space for artists which was executed extremely well. I love boxout and what they've done with the scene. They had the right people starting it, that made a big difference”.

Boxout.fm Uplifting the Music Circuit

“They really are helping out the music circuit by prompting a lot of homegrown artists and good music. For artists it's a great opportunity to showcase what they can really do. They are creating an overall experience through the radio, live shows and involving big brands. This helps everyone from struggling artists to the prominent ones”

“Programming a round the clock radio broadcast across a spectrum of sub-genres is a mean feat in itself and they are championing the cause of homegrown underground music along with bringing in some of the most versatile International artists for their weekly residency & other events. This translates into great exposure for the Indian audiences which really is the need of the hour. Special Kudos to their design team who are consistently putting out some cutting edge creatives & visual art.”

My ending question, do we really need to depend on international acts for a good night anymore?
