London’s music scene is getting a serious upgrade thanks to Pavel Areen and Sidonix. The internationally renowned Bangladeshi composer, drummer, and sound engineer Pavel Areen, alongside rising star Sidonix—is officially stepping into the UK spotlight with a powerful new collaboration.
The collaboration brings together two stunning new tracks, paired with spiritual music visuals, that highlight Areen’s talents as both a songwriter and a producer. It’s all part of a major push as he launches a full press and media campaign across the UK and international music circles.
Areen is no rookie. As one of the founding members of the legendary fusion-rock band Chirkutt, his work has already made waves across South Asia. He’s also the founder of Butter Communication, one of South Asia’s leading music production studios, where he’s built a global portfolio of high-impact projects. From music production to engineering, Pavel’s name is tied to excellence. And now, with this Sidonix project, he’s ready to show London what he’s all about.
The timing couldn’t be better. The two tracks recorded with Sidonix not only showcase Areen’s evolving artistry but also serve as a sneak peek of his upcoming full-length album. The music visuals that accompany the release dig deep into the spiritual essence of the music, showing just how multidimensional Areen’s work really is.
If you think this collab is his big break, think again. He’s already performed on some of the most iconic stages in the world. In May 2023, he took the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York, sharing the spotlight with none other than the legendary rock band Scorpions. Before that, he performed at SXSW in Austin, Texas, one of the most prestigious global music festivals out there. These aren’t just gigs; they’re major milestones that show Pavel’s international appeal.
On top of his live performances, Areen’s also been instrumental in engineering sound for massive music platforms. He’s currently the lead sound engineer for the global platform Wind of Change, which is known for its genre-defying musical collaborations. That role alone puts him at the heart of some of the most exciting global music experiments happening today.
And when it comes to film, Pavel’s track record is just as impressive. He composed and engineered music for the award-winning films No Bed of Roses (Doob) and Saturday Afternoon. Both films were critically acclaimed, and his music played a huge role in setting the emotional tone. That kind of storytelling through sound is what sets him apart.
In 2018, he picked up the Channel i Music Award, one of the biggest honors in Bangladeshi music, which just confirmed what fans already knew: Pavel’s in a league of his own. But he’s never stopped evolving. One of his most beloved projects is the Living Room Session, an indie music series that reimagines Bengali music through contemporary arrangements. Featuring top South Asian artists, the series blends tradition with innovation in a way that’s both nostalgic and brand new.
All of this is what’s led to the current moment. With the collaboration now live, and a full album on the way, it’s clear that Areen is positioning himself as a game-changer in the UK scene. He’s not just introducing himself, he’s inviting audiences into a world of layered sounds, cultural richness, and high-level artistry. The visuals, the production, the vision, everything feels intentional and elevated.
So if you haven’t already streamed his latest tracks, now’s the time. Pavel Areen is more than just a Bangladeshi export, he’s a global force. And with London as his new creative playground, things are only going up from here.
