Adam Ahuja - Over the Rainbow (livelooping)
Release date: 11.08.19 [Single]
Infinity Gritty / Ropeadope Records
Infinity Gritty / Ropeadope Records
In the 80th year anniversary of the original publishing, Adam Ahuja gives us a re-imagined, chill-synth, indie-jazz take on this beautiful classic melody. The remake is performed as a multi-instrumental live-loop, and features a slow-evolving 30-chord progression paired with a somewhat-mysterious, dimly-lit, alt-pop vocal. Ahuja draws out simplicity amidst complexity, and conjures up feelings of yearning and intrigue as he builds the performance instrument-by-instrument in a single studio take: layering stereo keys, electric bass and vocals, swaggy live drums, a baby-grand, and robotic live-looping effects, sending the listener off through the caverns of singularity.
Adam Ahuja - Ubiquity
Release date: 11.17.17 [Album]

These are times of Ubiquity. Ideas are shared in an instant. Communication is mass-scale, for better or for worse. And while it may or may not get us any closer together, everyone is, almost, everywhere. Ahuja’s ‘Ubiquity’ interlaces two solo styles: ‘live-looping,’ featuring a compact multi-instrumental setup used for single take performances, identical to his on-stage performance, and ‘band-style,’ where Ahuja jumps between keys, drum kit, bass, guitar, percussion, and vocals to gradually layer takes one instrument at a time into full tracks. In addition to the audio, the whole album recording was captured on film and produced as performance videos for each track.
Adam Ahuja - Balance
Release date: 08.05.13 [EP]
Fuzztone Records
Fuzztone Records
'Balance' is Ahuja's debut release as a solo artist. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered piece-by-piece a little over a year's time. The EP is a mixture of composed tunes (tracks 1 and 2), a piece taken from a live-looping performance (track 3), a track-by-track recording of 'first take' improvisations for each instrument (track 4), and a solo-piano composition (track 5), all performed, produced and written by Ahuja at Brett Andrew (of Robert Randolph & the Family Band) Fuzztone Studios.

SELECTED COLLABORATIVE RELEASES
Adam Ahuja, E Scott Lindner ft. Kate Goldbas, Jake Goldbas - Denn Diese Seelen
Release date: 05.10.24 [Single]
Infinity Gritty / Pinch Records
Infinity Gritty / Pinch Records
“Denn Diese Seelen” is a groovy, maximalist fusion composition merging the traditions of opera vocals with contemporary jazz-funk and world music. The lyrics, expressed with poetic license in German, encourage the listener to find hope in the soul’s capacity to persevere, through even the most dire of circumstances.
Adam Ahuja, Johnny Butler, E Scott Lindner - Ancient Scrolling
Release date: 09.08.23 [Album]
Infinity Gritty / Pinch Records
Infinity Gritty / Pinch Records
Three musicians abandon social media for seven days and gather to write and record an intimate, ambient, jazz-flavored “social media-detox soundtrack” to accompany listeners aiming to take the same journey. The musical adventure, titled 'Ancient Scrolling,' features collaborators Adam Ahuja (keyboards/drums), Johnny Butler (woodwinds), and E Scott Lindner (guitar/bass/engineering).
NOON, Adam Ahuja, E Scott Lindner, Anthony Muthurajah, Todd Gaynor - Origins
Release date: 04.28.23 [Single]
Infinity Gritty / Pinch Records
Infinity Gritty / Pinch Records
This fast-paced, exciting fusion piece represents an emerging movement of Arabic traditional music mixed with contemporary jazz/funk, which is currently taking place in the middle east. NOON is at the forefront of this movement. Incidentally, the heritages of the musicians, hailing from NYC and Dubai, range from Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, and Christian. This song was written and recorded in 5 hours, and represents, to the musicians, the bridging force that music can be to unite peoples of all cultures and backgrounds. The song is titled ‘Origins’ to celebrate this notion.
Adam Ahuja, Neel Murgai, Pablo Eluchans - We Three Kings
Release date: 10.27.22 [Track]
Infinity Gritty / Pinch Records
Infinity Gritty / Pinch Records
Ahuja teams up with Brooklyn Raga Massive's Artistic Director and Pablo Eluchans of Chile to create a new take on the classic melody "We Three Kings." The story of the three kings varies by account, but some historians attribute Indian, Persian, and Arabic origins to the kings, and it is said they stopped in Taxila, Punjab (present day Pakistan) on their way to Bethlehem 2000+ years ago. Ahuja, and Murgai, who have have Indian/Punjabi roots, create a rendition of the tune that brings out these ethnic origins in the music, while simultaneously delivering modern jazz and groove in the vibes.
