DHARMA RADIO – KSHMR

KSHMR, born Niles Hollowell-Dhar on October 6, 1988, in Berkeley, California, is a renowned DJ, producer, and songwriter who has carved out a unique space in the electronic music world with his cinematic soundscapes and culturally rich productions. Known for blending big room, electro house, and Indian-influenced sounds, KSHMR is the mastermind behind Dharma Radio — a show that reflects his diverse musical identity and his passion for storytelling through sound.

Early Career and Artistic Evolution

Before emerging as KSHMR, Niles gained initial fame as one half of the pop production duo The Cataracs, known for chart-toppers like “Like a G6.” After stepping away from that project, he rebranded himself in 2014 as KSHMR — a nod to his Indian heritage (Kashmir). His debut single “Megalodon” caught the EDM world’s attention, and his identity remained a mystery until his breakout collaboration with Tiësto on “Secrets” in 2015.

Signature Sound and Vision

KSHMR is widely admired for his fusion of cinematic orchestration, ethnic instrumentation, and high-energy drops. His tracks often tell stories, blending traditional Indian elements with modern electronic production — a signature sound showcased across anthems like “Jammu,” “Bazaar,” “Wildcard,” and “House of Cards.” Through Dharma Radio, he shares both his own music and tracks from other artists signed to his label, Dharma Worldwide, fostering a platform for cultural diversity and rising talent in electronic music.

Top Collaborations and Impact

Over the years, KSHMR has worked with an impressive array of collaborators, including Hardwell, Headhunterz, R3HAB, and Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam. These partnerships have allowed him to bridge musical worlds and reach fans across continents. His work continues to blur genre boundaries while staying rooted in emotional depth and global musical influences.

Awards, Recognition, and Dharma Worldwide

KSHMR has received acclaim not just for his music but for his dedication to helping upcoming artists. His label, Dharma Worldwide, has become a springboard for fresh talent, particularly artists who bring a world-music influence to EDM. His performances at festivals like Tomorrowland, EDC, and Sunburn have earned him a loyal international following and critical praise for his immersive, storytelling-focused sets.

KSHMR: Redefining EDM with Heart and Heritage

With Dharma Radio, KSHMR invites listeners into his creative world — one filled with passion, imagination, and cultural richness. It’s more than just a radio show; it’s an extension of his vision to make EDM not only a sonic experience but a global one. Each episode highlights the sounds of today while hinting at the timeless traditions that inspire them.

Conclusion: KSHMR’s Global Legacy

KSHMR remains one of EDM’s most innovative and emotionally resonant artists. Through his work as a producer, performer, and curator, he continues to redefine what electronic music can be. Dharma Radio stands as a testament to his mission: to connect people around the world through music that tells stories, honors heritage, and moves the soul.
