From underground club rooms to festival stages and art spaces alike, Yung Singh has carved a singular path through contemporary dance music. A DJ whose practice resists easy definition, his sets move fluidly across UK garage, jungle, grime, hip hop, rap and bass-driven club music, all woven together through the rhythms and textures of his Punjabi Sikh heritage.

Rooted in reverence for history and driven by curiosity, Singh’s sound draws from the legacy of UK sound system culture, Punjabi daytimer raves, and the UK Asian Underground, while remaining firmly forward-facing. His work reflects a deep respect for those who came before, paired with a commitment to pushing culture into new spaces.

Singh rose from local favourite to international force through a series of moments that captured both attention and imagination. In 2021, he was awarded DJ Mag’s Breakthrough DJ of the Year, following a run of standout performances and viral sets including an era-defining Boiler Room appearance and a spontaneous collaboration with Raf Saperra at Fabric that has since become part of UK club folklore. These moments helped bring renewed focus to Punjabi garage and South Asian contributions to British dance music.

Beyond the club, Singh’s creative output spans disciplines and formats. His documentary The Birth of Punjabi Garage, produced in partnership with Ministry of Sound, shone a light on a sound long loved but often overlooked. He has contributed sound design work with artist Jasleen Kaur, consulted on BBC Radio 4 programming exploring Partition with Kavita Puri, hosted screenings and panels with Brixton Community Cinema, and delivered a widely celebrated BBC Radio 1 Residency that showcased his range as a curator and storyteller.

As a DJ, Singh has become a defining presence on the international circuit. His performances have lit up some of the world’s most respected clubs and festivals, including Horst, Sónar, MELT, Glastonbury, and a landmark debut at Panorama Bar in Berghain. A month-long residency at Phonox and a series of high-energy Global Gabru shows further cemented his reputation as one of the most compelling selectors of his generation.

With a growing global audience, a clear artistic vision, and an unwavering commitment to community, Yung Singh continues to expand what dance music can hold. His sets do not simply move bodies. They carry history, possibility, and connection forward, one room at a time.
