How Compass Box Studio has championed Gujarat’s indie music scene
Red Bull Music
In just a little over a year and a half, Compass Box Studio has emerged as the most important platform in Gujarat’s independent music scene. Since September 2018, the Ahmedabad-based enterprise has been producing for Indian indie acts from across the country a series of one-take video recordings of their tracks, which are published on its YouTube channel. And it does it all for free.
