Who it's for
dhun carries two meanings in Hindi and Urdu: melody โ a light classical form, freer than a raga, closer to the heart. And shauq โ the love of devoted pursuit, when caring deeply is the point.
One word for the music, and for what it means to tend it.
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 โ 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 โ decades of music across drives and formats and services โ and knew it deserved better. No algorithm built for someone else's taste was going to help me find my own story inside 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.
