Indo Warehouse: 10 Essential Indo House Records
Indo Warehouse
Hi, we’re Indo Warehouse — a collective, record label, and experience series born in NYC in 2022. Our mission is to bring South Asian heritage to the dance floor in the most authentic way possible. For years, we searched for music that captured this energy — and when we couldn’t find it as frequently as we wanted, we decided to create our own platform.
We, along with a growing number of producers and artists from across the globe, are shaping a new genre we call Indo House — think of it as the South Asian version of house music similar to how genres like Afro House or Latin House exist. Even if you haven’t heard the term yet, you’ve definitely felt its impact in clubs and festivals worldwide.
Today, we’re sharing 10 Essential Indo House Records — heaters that we’ve dropped on our label, built for DJs who want to move the room. Also be sure to check our charts each month for fresh picks — whether they’re from our label or from other like-minded artists pushing the sound.
Alright, lets get into it…
This one’s a staple in our sets — the perfect snapshot of the Indo House sound we’ve been building since day one. Kahani and HARJI (both NYC locals) blend Punjabi folk with a relentless groove that just works. Layer it, loop it — this one locks in and drives the dance floor.
This one came out of nowhere. Kunal found the original scrolling IG, linked with Banglaboyyy, and flipped it into a frenetic dance floor bomb. Prateeksha’s rapid-fire vocals ride a sharp, stabby synth groove — familiar yet fresh, and guaranteed to get the crowd moving.
Anvaya are masters of blending dark, hypnotic grooves with soulful, melodic textures. "Dheere" leans into their shadowy side — a slow-burning, meditative trip with dreamy synths, intricate percussion, and haunting vocals. Deep crate energy right here.
We’re hyped to welcome Cezar Aragon and Queen Rami to the label with "Arrival." This track is perfect when you need to bring that deep, tribal vibe — cinematic textures, rolling percussion, and powerful vocals that hit hard and work any room.
Kahani joins forces with Punjabi vocalist Saini Surinder for this two-track release that’s built to flex. Each track hits on its own, or run them together for an extended play that keeps the crowd locked in. Expect big reactions when you drop this!
Kunal Merchant and Payal Jay rework the iconic "Rapture" with respect and fire. As Kunal puts it: “Rapture is our anthem — written by a Pakistani-American icon (Nadia Ali), honored by us, and now presented to you.” Play this one loud!
Kahani links with NYC collaborators HYDR and PDNY for "Majnu" — a brooding, moody house cut with provocative vocals. We’ve played this one at some of our biggest shows, and trust us, it never misses.
For "Yalla," Kahani teams up with UK’s DJ H and Ghana’s Stevo Atambire to create a special blend of Indo and West African influences. We cooked this one up before our first African tour — designed to connect cultures on the dance floor.
Anvaya, AREUBLUE, and Payal Jay flip traditional Gujarati folk rhythms into a high-energy house workout with Garba Szn 2. Inspired by the devotional Garba dance performed during Navaratri, this four-track EP is deeply personal and follows our original Garba Szn release.
Delhi’s Makaan comes through with "Curry," a bass-heavy banger that’s equal parts playful and powerful. This one’s our secret weapon — pure club energy that smacks hard every time.
Load these up, play them loud, and welcome to the Indo House movement!
