Kalbaisakhi

Born and bred in Delhi, currently based in London, Vibhu Singh a.k.a Kalbaisakhi is a student of global underground music, drawing lines between India, the UK and beyond. Highly eclectic and agile, he never fails to surprise listeners with his nostalgic sampling techniques, girthy basslines, and highly percussive rhythms. Versatility comes naturally to Vibhu, both in production and performance. Rooted in Delhi and inspired by UK rave culture, Kalbaisakhi seamlessly blends UK garage, afrobeats, jungle, and bass music, while enriching his sets with global and diaspora sounds like amapiano, baile funk, gqom, and desi fusion. Rotating between India and the UK, Kalbaisakhi has become a sonic champion of the global south-asian wave, having worked with names like BoxoutFM, Jawani4eva, VegNonVeg, Panjabi Hit Squad, MadStarBase, DominAsian Magazine and Jagermeister UK and receiving acclaim from pioneering communities like Daytimers UK, Dialled In, and NoNazar LA. Recently, he completed a 5 city India Tour, giving his audience a taster of what’s coming next. Kalbaisakhi's sound of original cuts and bootlegs has resonated on numerous international stages like Boiler Room, Keep Hush, HÖR Berlin, Berghain, Rinse FM, and BBC Radio.
