Booking Baalti

Baalti is a San Francisco–based electronic duo redefining the sound of modern house music with a distinct South Asian twist. Formed by childhood friends Sid Jain and Rachit Agarwal, Baalti emerged from the underground scene with a bold vision — to merge the hypnotic pulse of global club culture with the warmth and rhythm of their Indian roots. Their name, which playfully references a common South Asian household word for “bucket,” reflects their philosophy: collecting sounds, ideas, and influences from around the world and pouring them into a single, cohesive groove.

Their rise began with viral success on platforms like SoundCloud and Boiler Room, where their tracks caught attention for their unique blend of lo-fi textures, deep basslines, and nostalgic Indian samples. Songs such as Rani, Mundian Dream, and Dhamaal showcase their ability to bridge continents — combining intricate percussion, soulful melodies, and club-ready energy. Each release feels like a conversation between cultures, blending classic Bollywood tones and underground dance elements with effortless sophistication.

Baalti’s reputation as live performers has grown rapidly, with appearances at prestigious venues and festivals across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their DJ sets are immersive, blending ambient introspection with high-energy rhythms that keep crowds moving while maintaining a strong emotional core.

Beyond performing, Baalti is helping shape a new wave of South Asian electronic identity, inspiring a generation of producers to embrace cultural hybridity. Their sound has been praised by Mixmag, Resident Advisor, and DJ Mag for its originality and authenticity.

With every beat, Baalti invites listeners into a world where tradition meets technology — where the dancefloor becomes a global space for unity and creativity.
