Steve Aoki brings Guru Randhawa to EDC mainstage for 'Sirra' remix premiere, marks first-ever Punjabi pop debut at the festival

Steve Aoki brought an Indian music moment to the mainstage of Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) as he invited singer-songwriter and actor Guru Randhawa to join him during his Day 2 performance. The appearance marked a milestone for Indian music, with Randhawa becoming the first India-born music artist and the first Punjabi performer to take the EDC mainstage. The duo unveiled the world premiere of Steve Aoki's official remix of Sirra, a track from Randhawa's album Without Prejudice. The performance saw Aoki combine his signature electronic music production and high-energy drops with Randhawa's Punjabi vocals, giving the original song a festival-oriented makeover. The collaboration also marks Aoki's first venture into Punjabi pop. Known for bringing artists and musical styles from different cultures together, the DJ has previously worked with Indian singers Shreya Ghoshal and Sunidhi Chauhan. His earlier remixes include BTS' MIC Drop, which has garnered billions of streams, and Kid Cudi's 'Pursuit of Happiness', which went on to become a multi-platinum festival track. Randhawa's original version of Sirra has accumulated over 356 million streams across platforms. The singer has also collaborated with several international artistes across genres, including Pitbull, The Chainsmokers, French Montana, LE SSERAFIM and Rick Ross. The EDC appearance comes ahead of Randhawa's upcoming live performance in India. The singer is set to return to live touring after a three-year break with a large-scale homecoming concert scheduled for December 12, 2026, at 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.
