Label boss, producer, and selector par excellence, 18 East is at the forefront of Asia’s rising tide of electronic music.

A veteran of countless dancefloors, his years of passion, commitment, and sheer turn table wizardry have elevated him in the eyes of his fans, and garnered the respect of his peers. He has worked with some of electronic dance music’s most venerated names, has played on the grandest of stages, including a three-year streak at ADE, and has released music on cutting edge techno labels in both his native India and across the European scene.

His latest venture, White Line Music, is an exercise in cultivating the best artists and curating a razor-honed sound. In under a year, the label has seen a string of well-received releases with support from top tier artists across the spectrum of house and techno, and a new sublabel – WLM Hard – has emerged to cater to a sonic palette as uncompromising as it is impactful.
