Already a don in the Indian music scene, Stoked now follows the path of many of the world’s greats, combining production, DJing and curation to inject his flavour into the global Techno movement. Headlining Sea You Festival this summer alongside Adam Beyer & Pan-Pot, having already played the festival in past years. Notably, Stoked is the first Indian artist to headline Sonne Monde Sterne & Grune Sonne in Germany, as well as the iconic Rave the Planet (ex Love Parade).
Beyond his DJ performances, Stoked is the driving force behind Bitonal, a record label and touring agency that features artists such as Pan-Pot, Gheist, Teenage Mutants, Balthazar & Jackrock, and Rafael Cerato. He is also responsible for programming at super clubs Salud and Diaz in Goa.
His debut UK performance in June for the Kenja Records showcase (Ronnie Spiteri’s imprint) comes ahead of his release for the label (featuring a remix by Alan Fitzpatrick) later this year. His collaboration ‘’Climax’’ with Teenage Mutants has been lifting dance floors all over the world for months & dominated the Beatport Techno Top 10 chart for 3 weeks straight.
With several projects set for the fall, Stoked is poised to strengthen his reputation as India’s premier Techno export into 2025 and beyond.
Today, he joins the NUDE Techno podcast, with an hour of Techno. Listen to it below on SoundCloud & Mixcloud. If you are feeling this series, then please consider supporting it on Mixcloud Select.
