Steve Aoki just made festival history — and he did it by handing the mic to someone else. During his Day 2 set at Electric Daisy Carnival, Aoki brought singer-songwriter Guru Randhawa out to the mainstage, making Randhawa the first India-born artist — and the first Punjabi performer ever — to play the EDC mainstage.

The pair used the moment to world-premiere Aoki’s official remix of “Sirra,” a track from Randhawa’s album Without Prejudice. The original version of “Sirra” has already racked up more than 356 million streams across platforms, and the remix is out now via Warner Music India.

For Aoki, it’s his first venture into Punjabi pop — a genre-crossing move that puts one of India’s biggest stars on dance music’s biggest stage. For Randhawa, the EDC moment comes ahead of his return to live touring after a three-year break, with a large-scale homecoming concert set for Dec. 12 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
