self promo What do think of my Jungle Rock debut track called "I'm Not Awake"
Hi guys, I'm Mith and “I’m Not Awake” is my debut single as an independent artist and producer from Mumbai, India. The track began as a rock composition and gradually evolved into a collision of 90s-inspired alternative rock, jungle-influenced breakbeats, heavy bass, distorted guitars and vocals, lush pads, and dark atmospheric textures.
I wrote and produced the track as an intentionally cryptic reflection on an experience from my childhood that has stayed with me. Rather than explaining the story literally, I wanted the music to feel like being caught between memory and reality - restless, disoriented and unable to fully wake up. The track moves between aggressive, high-energy sections and more atmospheric passages before ending in a hazy, dreamlike space.
The production combines live/organic rock elements with chopped breakbeats, bass-heavy electronic production and atmospheric sound design. I wanted the contrast between the rawness of the guitars and vocals and the rhythmic energy of jungle to feel unpredictable rather than genre-pure.
Let me know whether the lyrics made ay sense to you and what do you think of the overall vibe.
