Speaking about the occasion, Randhawa said in a statement, “Representing India and our sound on the EDC mainstage is a massive honour.

Before our massive homecoming stadium show hits New Delhi, I can’t wait to hit the EDC mainstage and unleash that ‘Sirra’ energy!”
Aoki also expressed excitement about the collaboration, saying, “Electronic music is all about breaking boundaries and bridging cultures, so having Guru Randhawa join me on the EDC mainstage is incredible. I have some of my absolute fondest touring memories from India, and working on this ‘Sirra’ remix together has been an amazing experience. November 7th is going to be unforgettable.”
The remix marks the international expansion of Randhawa’s original track from his album ‘Without Prejudice’. According to the release, the song has garnered 356 million cumulative streams and 550 million collective YouTube views.
