Calm and Encore, the two members of hip-hop act Seedhe Maut, are Delhi boys through and through. But they have been spending time in Goa recently, which is where they made N (spelt in the Devanagari script), their new mixtape. Here, Encore explains the process behind it. Edited excerpts from the interview.

Why did you choose to call this project a mixtape, and not an album?
It’s because of the amount of time we gave to it and the quality of the recordings. We made a jugaad studio with three mattresses and a sh*tty mic. For an LP or studio album, you wouldn’t do that. Plus, most of the tracks were mixed and mastered within four to five days by the same engineer. All of that played into account. That’s why we wanted to call it a mixtape, because of the way it was packaged, and because four songs had been released. The whole vibe was about not taking it seriously and giving you a straight-up, raw piece of art.
