Dust of Soul are known for their adven­tur­ous sto­ries. In 2020 they con­tin­ue exact­ly the way they have been work­ing like in the past sev­en years: Two new music video shoot­ings were realised in the city of Mum­bai. Today, Dust of Soul launched a first teas­er poster of a promis­ing new style.

Dust of Soul trav­el around the world with their music. 2017 they first col­lab­o­rat­ed with Indi­an artists in Mus­cat: Dust of Soul were the open­ing act for the Indi­an Bol­ly­wood Super­star Ayush­mann Khur­rana at the City Amphithe­ater Qurum, Mus­cat biggest out­door con­cert event venue. It was a enor­mous success. 

A year lat­er, the two artists were inspired by the Indi­an music, rhythms, and styles, and start­ed to exper­i­ment with a mix­ture of their unique Swiss ‘Opera Pop’ genre and Indi­an instru­ments. They suc­ceed­ed and released a first sin­gle named ‘Flow’ ahead of their debut album launch in Novem­ber 2018. The song fea­tured a catchy pop melody com­bined with Indi­an instru­ments and rhythms. Dust of Soul filmed the music video with dancers from the the Mus­cat based Indi­an school “White Rose Insti­tute of Music & Arts”. More than 30 kids par­tic­i­pat­ed in the music video shoot­ing. On top of that three artists coop­er­at­ed in Switzer­land when Dust of Soul filmed the final clips for the video. The video was launched at the album release event in March 2019.

For the album, Dust of Soul fea­tured a sec­ond Indi­an styled song named ‘Vic­to­ry’. Vic­to­ry is about the inner vic­to­ry. Vic­to­ry over fears, bound­aries, and despairs. For this sto­ry, Dust of Soul trav­eled to India and filmed in the Dhar­avi their new music video. The Dhar­avi are the sec­ond largest slums world­wide. Young artists col­lab­o­rat­ed and per­formed break­dance, beat-box­ing, rap­ping, and graf­fi­ti art in front of the cam­era. Dust of Soul put all this togeth­er and released their video on 26 Octo­ber 2019. With­in two month it was watched more than 500’000 times mak­ing it a huge success. 

Smile

With Smile Dust of Soul ini­ti­ate their third fusion project with India. This time they fea­ture the col­lab­o­ra­tion with Indi­an actor Yash Choud­hary. The song will be released ear­ly 2020 as a sin­gle from their next com­ing album.

Dust of Soul worked with a film team led by cin­e­matog­ra­ph­er Win­ston Jose. Win­ston and his team are pro­fes­sion­als in the Indi­an film mak­ing indus­try and co-pro­duced and co-direct­ed the video shoot­ing based on the sto­ry by Dust of Soul.

The music video Smile will be released in ear­ly 2020.

Two Indi­an musi­cians are work­ing with Dust of Soul on the new song: Rap­per Nox­ious D and singer-song­writer Ketan Mohite. The song is a dec­la­ra­tion of love for the music. All musi­cians find them­selves in this love and come togeth­er to cel­e­brate it in a song. The song will be release lat­er in spring 2020 as the sec­ond sin­gle release from the com­ing next Dust of Soul album.
