The first global superstar DJ and genre taking India by storm

DJ Nucleya is the hottest property in Indian dance music: the breakout star whose rise marks a turning point in Indian culture. Before him, dance music (or EDM) was the preserve of the monied middle-classes. But Nucleya has ripped up the rule book: placing traditional Indian street music - ecstatic pounding tabla and dholes - at the core of his art, and attracting a legion of young, predominantly working-class fans. The tale of the rise of a 21st century Indian musical superstar is told at a vibrant open-air party in Mumbai.

First broadcast on Indian Rave, 18 August 2018.
