[[{“value”:”
Indian singer-songwriter and actor Guru Randhawa is set to perform at the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), and with that become the first India-born music talent to perform at one of the world’s largest dance music festivals.
Randhawa will join forces with two-time Grammy-nominated electronic dance music titan Steve Aoki who is headlining the second day of the festival to debut a collaboration for the festival.
Together, the duo will release the ‘Sirra’ remix by Steve Aoki for the first time on the world stage, with the aim to transform Randhawa’s song into a dance floor anthem that blends high-energy Punjabi pop melodies with stadium-level electronic music.
The debut also marks the global expansion of the original track from his album ‘Without Prejudice’ which exploded across music charts worldwide upon its release, securing dominant positions on streaming platform top lists and trending heavily across social media platforms with 356 million cumulative streams and 550 million collective cumulative YouTube views till date.
Global collaborations over the years
While November 7 marks Randhawa’s historic milestone as the first Punjabi artist to perform at EDC, he is no stranger to them. He has experimented with many multi-genre global collaborations including the Billboard-charting hit ‘Slowly Slowly’ with Pitbull, the Spanish-Punjabi club anthem ‘Mueve La Cintura’ alongside Latin icon Tito El Bambino, the infectious track ‘Vibe’ featuring American rap royalty French Montana, the smooth R&B crossover ‘Surma Surma’ with British-Asian superstar Jay Sean, the massive K-Pop crossover ‘BOOMPALA’ with superstars LE SSERAFIM, the electrifying electronic single ‘Addicted’ alongside the multi-platinum duo The Chainsmokers, and the high-energy luxury hip-hop anthem ‘Rich Life’ featuring legendary rap icon Rick Ross, making him the only Punjabi artist with the maximum number of global collaborations to date.
Guru Randhawa states, “Representing India and our sound on the EDC mainstage is a massive honour. Steve Aoki and I have built something special with the ‘Sirra’ remix that completely fuses two very distinct worlds. Before our massive homecoming stadium show hits New Delhi, I can’t wait to hit the EDC mainstage and unleash that ‘Sirra’ energy.”
Steve Aoki states, “Electronic music is all about breaking boundaries and bridging cultures, so having Guru Randhawa join me on the EDC mainstage is incredible. I have some of my absolute fondest touring memories from India, and working on this ‘Sirra’ remix together has been an amazing experience. November 7th is going to be unforgettable.”
The festival performance serves as a prelude to Randhawa’s monumental upcoming homecoming show on December 12, at the iconic Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Stadium in New Delhi. The highly anticipated Sirra Era Live in Concert stadium concert carries profound significance, as it marks his official return to live touring after a three-year hiatus and serves as a grand milestone celebrating his 13 illustrious years in the music industry.
Fans attending Electric Daisy Carnival on November 7 can expect an explosive, genre-bending set that merges the infectious rhythms of Indian pop with Aoki’s signature high-impact electronic beats, offering a thrilling preview of the massive stadium energy Randhawa is bringing back to India this winter.
The official Guru Randhawa Sirra remix by Steve Aoki facilitated by Warner Music India is out now on all major streaming platforms.
