Organize

Route files into clean folder structures. BPM zones for DJs, genre trees for collectors, label archives for crate diggers.

Why "dhun"?

dhun is a Hindi/Urdu word with two meanings: melody — a light classical form, freer than a raga, closer to the heart. And obsession — when you can't stop until it's right.

The word names both the content and the compulsion.

Why I'm building this

Twenty-five years of chasing sound. Mixtapes, a thousand CDs, the iTunes era, iPods, lost hard drives I still grieve. Streaming and unstreaming. Discovering Asian Underground and falling deeper into electronic music than I knew was possible.

I've listened to mystics share sacred sound in Morocco and heard dub playing outside Bob Marley's home. I ran 30 Days of Sound — a new way of listening every day in my own city. I've built playlists that capture what friendship sounds like, what home sounds like in countries I've travelled through. Cheb i Sabbah taught me how to listen to the world. I carry that forward.

Then one day I looked at my own library — decades of music, scattered across drives and services and formats — and realized: it's a mess. And no algorithm in someone else's cloud is going to help me find my own story in all of it.

So I'm building the tool I always needed. One that plays along while I figure out the soundtrack to what's unfolding. That's dhun.
