In the last couple of years, EMW's range of CD production, mainly featuring Nepali artistes, has steadily increased. Since 1998, EMW has organized instrumental concerts, to promote and encourage Nepali performing artistes, these include, "Live with the Didgeridoo" in October 1998, "Monsoon" in December 1998, "Heart Sutra" in October 1999, "Winds of Devotion" in November 1999 and "Mahayantra in Concert" in July 2000.
Besides the concert to promote Nepali artists, EMW has also produced a show on Radio HBC 94 FM titled "East Meets West". In this show a local artist or some foreign artist are invited to the show to talk about music and many more subjects, with obviously the taste of both native and foreign music. This show is unlike any other show in a sense that it really combines the east and the west with music.

The creator of EAST MEETS WEST (EMW) Mr. Mangal Krishna Maharjan is, in fact, an artist himself, having worked in the field of arts and crafts for over 20 years. He started his career with a bookshop, moved on to handicrafts (he still owns a handicraft setup) and now focuses on his music shop. Mangal dedicates a great deal of energy and commitment to music, tirelessly organizing musical shows and events. His ideology of music truly is "East Meets West," and his collections always incorporate the best of both worlds.
