The most comprehensive list of musical genres we found on the internet still does not have the name ‘INDO HOUSE’ even though it originated in the 1990’s.
In the early 1990s, DJs started incorporating Indian music elements into their House sets. It took 30 years for this music to become its own genre, but it’s finally here: Indo House!
This genre has gained popularity not only in India but also in other parts of the world, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. While it’s still relatively new in the US, it’s been gaining popularity in recent years, particularly among younger South Asian Americans who are looking for music that speaks to their cultural heritage while also being modern and fresh.
Some of the pioneers of Indo House DJs include DJ Sharad, Karsh Kale, Midival Punditz, DJ Rekha, DJ Mandeep Sethi and DJ Prashant.
Here is our list of Indo House artists you need to follow right away to get a taste of music that will stick on with you forever.
