[[{“value”:”

Steve Aoki closed out Day 2 of Electric Daisy Carnival with a desi crossover that caught the festival crowd completely by surprise. The two-time Grammy-nominated EDM icon collaborated with Indian singer-songwriter Guru Randhawa for a mainstage debut.

The duo released the world premiere of Aoki’s official remix of ‘Sirra’, the high-energy reimagined version of Randhawa’s song from his ‘Without Prejudice’ album.

The crowd’s reaction was electric as Aoki seamlessly fused his signature, stadium-level electronic drops with Randhawa’s infectious Punjabi pop vocals, turning the original song, into a fun anthem. 

This is the latest collaboration by Aoki including other hits such as his remix of BTS’s ‘MIC Drop’ and festival anthem remix of Kid Cudi’s ‘Pursuit of Happiness’.

Collaborations with Indians 

Building on his past collaborations with legendary Indian vocalists like Shreya Ghoshal and Sunidhi Chauhan, this song marks Aoki’s first-ever entry into Punjabi pop, with a performance that showcases the evolving nature of electronic music festivals by making Randhawa the first India-born music talent and the first-ever Punjabi artist to perform on the Electric Daisy Carnival mainstage.

On the other hand, Randhawa continues to his streak of collaborating with international artist after the likes of Pitbull, The Chainsmokers, French Montana, LE SSERAFIM and Rick Ross. 

Interestingly, the performance comes ahead of the Punjabi pop icon’s show on December 12 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, marking his highly anticipated return to live touring after a three-year hiatus.
