Indo Warehouse / Kunal Merchant ft. Raja Kumari - Indo Warehouse presents Bombay Acid (Incl. SYREETA Remix) [Crosstown Rebels]

Debuting on Crosstown Rebels, New York collective Indo Warehouse presents ‘Bombay Acid’. The release is a collaboration between their co-founder Kunal Merchant and acclaimed vocalist Raja Kumari, perfectly capturing the essence of Indo Warehouse: hypnotic grooves, ancestral textures, and underground energy fused into an expansive, ritualistic journey. “I've been a student of Crosstown Rebels for many years; the depth and diversity of the label has always inspired me. When Damian told me he wanted 'Bombay Acid,' it truly felt like he saw me,” comments Merchant. “This record epitomizes everything I work for: it’s hypnotic, unexpected, and fuses worlds to create a new universe. Raja's involvement will surprise and intrigue many, but we are kindred spirits who believe music has no boundaries. Her blessing on this track is a true sign that our Indo House sound is here to stay.”

‘Bombay Acid’ combines Merchant’s meticulously layered production—blending deep, hypnotic grooves with textures drawn from South Asian musical traditions—with Kumari’s powerful vocal presence. The track unfolds as both a club-ready cut and an immersive, ritualistic experience, bridging cultural heritage and contemporary electronic sounds. A Grammy-nominated rapper, singer, and classically trained dancer, Raja Kumari connects Indian tradition with today’s global music. She has collaborated with Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Iggy Azalea, and performed at festivals including Coachella, Wireless, and India’s NH7 Festival. Through her Godmother Records label and projects like ‘The Bridge’ (2023) and ‘Kashi to Kailash’ (2025), she explores resilience and spiritual depth, solidifying her as one of modern music's most distinctive voices.

On the flip, SYREETA delivers a heavy-hitting rework. Authentic and fearless, this UK favorite has smashed glass ceilings by leaning on robust basslines and energetic house and techno grooves to build her own signature sound and style. Her remix injects ‘Bombay Acid’ with that characteristic punch in the low frequencies, channeling and boosting the track’s cosmic energy for late-night dancefloors.

Kunal Merchant has spent years building a sound that is both beholden to his South Asian lineage and forward-looking. From performances at Coachella, Hï Ibiza, Fabric London, and Brooklyn Mirage, to releases across the Indo House spectrum, he has become a central figure in defining the genre and bringing South Asian voices to the global electronic stage. Indo Warehouse, co-founded by Merchant and Kahani in 2022, has evolved from its underground origins in New York into an international movement. Their live shows are immersive experiences, authentic rituals where identity, tradition, and club culture collide, and their releases continue to push the boundaries of house and techno while retaining a deep connection to their roots. With ‘Bombay Acid’, Merchant and Kumari deliver a hypnotic, expansive production, inviting the listener into a universe where rhythm, culture, and underground energy converge in unison.
