Darshan Doshi Trio and MaMoGi are undoubtedly two of the biggest names in the instrumental music scene in India in 2023. In the spirit of collaboration, Darshan Doshi and Mark Hartsuch, saxophonist and composer of MaMoGi, have teamed up in a brand new, electric duo project entitled "Darshan Doshi x Mark Hartsuch." The origin of this project came from a chance meeting at a local concert, followed by a text saying "let's play sometime," followed by a full production recording session of five brand new compositions. These five compositions have become the new EP for "Darshan Doshi x Mark Hartsuch." Darshan and Mark aim to tour India and internationally to promote their collaboration.
​
Mark Hartsuch, USA saxophonist and producer, has made a significant impact on the music scenes in both the United States and India. Mark graduated from the University of North Texas where he was a featured soloist in the Grammy nominated, "One O'clock Lab Band."

DARSHAN DOSHI & MARK HARTSUCH
THE DRS PROJECT
Formed as a power trio of guitar, bass, and drums, The DRS project is a progressive fusion outfit that blends the intensity of prog rock with the groove and elasticity of funk. The band’s debut 3-track EP marks the beginning of a sonic journey built on contrast—complexity and feel, precision
and freedom, structure and spontaneity.
Though all three members come from distinctly different musical backgrounds, it was this diversity that shaped the sound. The material was conceived by the guitarist and then sculpted collaboratively with the rhythm section, allowing each track to evolve organically into something bigger than its parts. The result is a dynamic, high-energy record where intricate compositions meet deep pocket and explosive interplay.
What began as an idea has now become a fully realized statement—three musicians, three voices, one sound. The release of this EP has been nothing short of surreal, and it’s only the first chapter of what promises to be a powerful musical journey.
