On the second day of Electric Daisy Carnival, Steve Aoki orchestrated a landmark cultural fusion by inviting singer-songwriter and actor Guru Randhawa to the mainstage, delivering a defining moment for Indian music within the global electronic festival circuit.This historic collaboration holds profound significance, as Randhawa distinguished himself as both the first artist of Indian birth and the inaugural Punjabi performer to grace the EDC mainstage, thereby establishing a new precedent in the genre's landscape.
The pair orchestrated the global debut of Steve Aoki's official remix of "Sirra," a standout track from Randhawa's album *Without Prejudice*.
In this live presentation, Aoki seamlessly integrated his hallmark electronic production and explosive sonic peaks with Randhawa's distinctive Punjabi vocals, thereby transforming the original composition into a festival-ready anthem.
This partnership signifies Aoki's inaugural foray into the realm of Punjabi pop.
Renowned for synthesizing diverse musical traditions and uniting artists across cultural boundaries, the DJ has previously collaborated with prominent Indian vocalists Shreya Ghoshal and Sunidhi Chauhan.His discography of remixes boasts significant commercial success, including BTS's "MIC Drop," which has accumulated billions of streams, and Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness," a track that achieved multi-platinum status and became a staple at festivals worldwide.
Randhawa's initial rendition of "Sirra" has garnered more than 356 million streams across various platforms.
Furthermore, the artist has forged collaborations with numerous international performers spanning diverse genres, including Pitbull, The Chainsmokers, French Montana, LE SSERAFIM, and Rick Ross.
The release of EDC marks a significant prelude to Randhawa's highly anticipated live return to India.
Following a hiatus spanning three years, the artist is poised to resume his touring career with a grand homecoming concert scheduled for December 12, 2026, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
Meanwhile, the official ‘Sirra (Steve Aoki Remix)’ has been released through Warner Music India and is now available across streaming platforms.
