Composer Dhruv Ghanekar revives his passion project after his live music company for which it was originally created shuts; joins hands with original makers Kailash Kher, Ashutosh Pathak

Phatak, Kher and Ghanekar’s track is a revisited version of the number that released over a decade ago
Firsts are always special, as Dhruv Ghanekar would attest to. Having collaborated with composer Ashutosh Phatak for the album Smoke Signals several years ago, Ghanekar was eager to resurrect the project at the behest of his fans. “The song Summertime rocks will be the first release of my record label, Wah Wah Records. Because it was our first release [for a live music company] that has now shut down, it’s obviously dear to us. It is also a representation of that time in our lives when we were just starting out; a time when we could do anything and get away with it. It has a great spirit and innocence,” says the musician who joins hands with Kailash Kher again for this release.
Ghanekar, who has previously composed music for Kangana Ranaut’s Dhaakad, says the decades-old number’s timeless quality makes it suited for release in this era as well. “The number is so contemporary that it doesn’t seem like it was made a while ago. I had no apprehensions about releasing it again.”
