Arushi Jain is a modular synthesist, singer, producer, radio host, and engineer whose practice links centuries-old traditional Indian idioms with the sound, rhythm and aesthetics of contemporary electronic music.

Jain is currently playing music from her newly released album Delight (2024), her second release on Leaving Records after the adored Under the Lilac Sky (2021). Delight traverses a rich range of different sounds, emotions, genres, and production styles, all basked in sweeping reverb and adorned with elegant ambient texture.

Inspired by Raga Bageshri – a style of raga which depicts the feeling of awaiting a reunion with one’s beloved – the new album delves into an emotional realm of in-betweens spanning the whole spectrum of care, desire, and love: “[Raga Bageshri] triggers within me immense ardor, juxtaposed with a poignant acknowledgment of suffering; for love as immense is often challenging to reciprocate,” Jain says. “We come into this world alone and we leave alone. Despite this knowledge, the human capacity for love is without reservation, which I find magnanimous.”

Her stunning new live show is set to a highly effective visual production, and takes a rhythmic step forward.
