Apache Indian states, “Hearing Argenil has made me excited for new music again! And after watching them perform I was totally blown away, fusing elements of trap, Indian sounds, live music and a DJ. I think they have a lot of potentials and have massive global appeal. Fantastic duo right out of Bangalore…one of my favorite cities in India.”
Eddie Heartthrob states, “Argenil is bringing an innovative and refreshing sound to India’s music scene. The way that they are able to craft such a hype-trap sound, while at the same time keeping in touch with their roots and their culture is only going to lead them to greatness. It is always admirable when someone brings something new to the table, and Argenil is doing just that. Rather than riding a trend, they are paving their own lane. They are phenomenal musicians and I am certain that in the near future, they will need no introduction.”
Yatez states, “I had a lot of fun working with Argenil and experimenting with what was a new genre for me. I have a lot of respect for their sound and feel like the fusion between us created a special track.”
