Laine Klubiöö: Yung Singh (UK)
Nobody does it like Yung Singh. He stands as one of the most exciting DJs on the world circuit, having spent the last few years levelling up from local phenomenon to shining global star.
Refusing to be boxed in by just one sound, Singh’s sets span the full dance music spectrum — from hip-hop and rap to everything in between — all blended seamlessly with his Punjabi roots. If the last two years are anything to go by, expect the unexpected at a Yung Singh set.
Awarded DJ Mag’s Breakthrough DJ of the Year in 2021 — buoyed by a string of viral moments, from an era-defining Boiler Room set to a spontaneous collaboration with singer Raf Saperra at Fabric that now sits in UK club folklore — Singh’s output has helped re-energise the British Punjabi and South Asian music scene. Standout performances at South Asian–focused events have cemented his position at the forefront of this cultural resurgence.
Indeed, this sense of ‘cultural responsibility’ has seen Singh contribute to numerous projects that shine a light on Punjabi, Sikh, and South Asian arts, history, and culture. Determined to honour those who came before, he partnered with Ministry of Sound to produce The Birth of Punjabi Garage, a documentary celebrating the much-loved but often-forgotten sound — brought back into focus by his scene-shifting Punjabi Garage Mix.
Singh has also collaborated with renowned artist Jasleen Kaur on sound design for her Socio- mobile exhibition, consulted on a BBC Radio 4 documentary about Partition with Kavita Puri, and hosted numerous screenings and panels with Brixton Community Cinema. More recently, a truly memorable BBC Radio 1 Residency captured widespread attention — just like his sets, Yung Singh’s creative output spans disciplines and art forms.
Showing artistic range and a sharp ear in every region he touches — with crowd reactions to match — Singh has established himself as one of the most sought-after club DJs and a highlight of the international festival circuit. His now-legendary performances span some of Europe’s most respected festivals and clubs: from Horst in Belgium to Barcelona’s Sónar, MELT in Germany, Glastonbury, and, of course, a groundbreaking debut at Panorama Bar in Berghain to top it all off.
With an unforgettable month-long Phonox residency under his belt — alongside ferociously energetic shows on his Global Gabru tours, including yet another viral Boiler Room — Singh is well placed to continue his relentless rise as one of dance music’s most exciting names.
