“Dhum Dhum Ta” is a dark dancefloor ritual that pulses with desi soul and emotional fire.

Some songs are built for clubs. “Dhum Dhum Ta” feels like it was built for something more raw and intense.

The new EP by Saqib, Naayaab, and AREUBLUE combines moody beats with a distinct desi influence. It lands somewhere between an underground warehouse party and a moment of emotional release.

This EP is the second collaboration between the trio, after “Samundar”. With “Dhum Dhum Ta”, they lean even deeper into the darker edges of indie dance music. What is impressive is how well each of their strength fits together. Together, they build something that sounds both controlled and wild at the same time.

The title song, “Dhum Dhum Ta,” is the heartbeat of the EP. It kicks off with a heavy bassline that does not just carry the rhythm. It sets the mood. There are flashes of punk and metal energy in the way the drums hit. But everything stays in the lane of dance music. The overall vibe is dark, immersive, and very physical. It is the kind of song that would sound massive in the late-night club setting, full of shadowy moments and flashing lights.

“This EP is not afraid of the dark. It dances straight into it."

The sound of this EP is rooted in electronic and dance music. The Indian sound elements make it feel grounded. It is more of an additional emotional weight rather than being just an aesthetic choice. Vocals of Naayaab bring in a layer of depth. She does not overpower the music. Instead, she threads through it. She offers a contrast that is subtle but strong. Her voice brings in a kind of tension. It balances the aggression of the production with something more intimate.

The influence of AREUBLUE is also clear in the melodic flow. The synth work and pacing add a hypnotic energy. It gives the song its replay value. Nothing here is overcomplicated. But everything is intentional. It is a clean and sharp execution of the idea, “what if you took the raw pulse of club music and gave it a desi soul?”

“Dhum Dhum Ta” does not stretch for attention. It pulls you in slowly. But then, it hits you hard. The energy is consistent, the mood is thick. This collaboration feels alive.
