India is well on its way to establishing itself as an EDM presence; from being a regular stop on World Tours to hosting thousands of deejays, from its worshipping fans to its eye-popping venues. However, one essential reason behind this crescendo is the rise of Indian artists, a powerhouse of young musicians and producers that have conquered a rainbow of genres and made waves in the international circuit. Here is The Bangin Beats’ list of Indian acts to watch out for at Sunburn Goa.
Obviously, there’s the crown prince of India’s EDM Kingdom, the ever-loved, ever-ubiquitous Dualist Inquiry. His synth work and guitar riffs are nothing short of euphoric, making his studio music, bootleg mixes and live performances something you can hear over and over again. An inspiration for musicians across the nation, this big room rockstar is a live electronica act one must catch and his stage presence makes the live experience even more worth it.
Upcoming producer extraordinaire Sandunes is the pied piper of female performances in India and the synth player of the nascent three-piece Dualist Inquiry Band. Her barrier-breaking sound is a romance between electro and garage tech music fused with a South Asian soul feel, and her performances are an aural and visual sojourn into a trippy universe.
For all the deep house and tech house lovers, Kohra is your man. At the forefront of the intelligent dance music project in India, his minimalist sound is catchy and subtle.
Rising electrohouse star Sartek is next on our list, for his distinct sounding and stylized tracks that have gained big ups from artists like Anjunabeats to Myon & Shane 54. A producer-turned-DJ who lives and breathes music, Sartek is an act to look out for.
For some good ol’ progressive house, check out party-starter Kash Trivedi. His unique brand of mixed-genre melodic tracks is made for dance fanatics.
Mumbai-based producer Ox7gen is a master of liquid drum n’ bass, whose tracks are as high energy they are chilled out. His ambient music is a fresh twist on the otherwise heavy handed genre and is sure to attract a plethora of new DnB fans.
