With an aim to "push fearless experimentation, exploration and expression in the South Asian urban sonic realm". OCL wants to focus on bringing the underground female composers and producers from South Asia and expand it's idea through mixtapes, collaborations and showcases."As I started searching for female producers and selectors in India, the first and only banging group I found was Coven Code. I immediately approached them for mixes, and they instead, helped make it something larger and more consistent. We are getting the whole community connected through mixtapes as a first dialogue." - Gowri Jayakumar
"Coven Code seeks to collaborate with other participants in the industry who are also working towards representation of non-male artists in the field of music, sound, and culture. As part of the series, we will also be inviting our extended local and international network for guest mixes, including a session by Beijing based producer and DJ Syd this month. Through the initiative, we hope to share what we have built as collaboration with the community in India. Coven code has grown its network internationally, and we would like to share those connections with our community in India, and to showcase a diverse portfolio of what we have to offer as creatives." - Coven CodeOCL and Coven Code will start publishing mixtapes twice a month on OCL's Mixcloud account. The first mix was dropped on 7th July by Coven Code's Zequenx aka Zainab Wani.
