Indo Warehouse presents Bombay Acid
New York collective Indo Warehouse presents Bombay Acid on Crosstown Rebels, featuring Kunal Merchant and Raja Kumari alongside a remix from Syreeta.
Making their debut on Crosstown Rebels, New York collective Indo Warehouse unveils "Bombay Acid." The release is a collaboration between co-founder Kunal Merchant and acclaimed vocalist Raja Kumari, capturing the Indo Warehouse ethos: hypnotic grooves, ancestral textures, and underground energy fused into one expansive, ritualistic journey.
I’ve been a student of Crosstown Rebels for many years - the label’s depth and diversity has always inspired me. When Damian told me he wanted "Bombay Acid," I really felt seen. This record epitomizes everything I strive for: it’s hypnotic, it’s unexpected, and it fuses worlds to create a new universe. Having Raja involved will both surprise and intrigue people, but we’re kindred spirits who believe music is boundless. Her blessing on this track is a true signal that our Indo House sound is here to stay.
Kunal Merchant
"Bombay Acid" pairs Merchant’s meticulously layered production, melding deep, hypnotic grooves with textures drawn from South Asian musical traditions, with Kumari’s commanding vocals. The track unfolds as both a club-ready cut and an immersive ritual, bridging cultural heritage and contemporary electronic sounds. A Grammy-nominated rapper, singer, and classically trained dancer, Raja Kumari bridges Indian tradition with contemporary global music. She has collaborated with Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Iggy Azalea, and has performed at Coachella, Wireless, and India’s NH7 Festival. Her imprint, Godmother Records, and projects such as "The Bridge" (2023) and "Kashi to Kailash" (2025) explore resilience and spiritual depth, making her one of the most distinctive voices in modern music.
On the flip, Syreeta delivers a striking rework. Authentic and fearless, the UK favourite has shattered glass ceilings while drawing on chunky basslines and energetic grooves from house and techno to craft her own sound and style. Her remix injects "Bombay Acid" with that signature low-end punch, while driving and harnessing the track’s cosmic energy for late-night dancefloors.
Kunal Merchant has spent years building a sound that is simultaneously drawn from his South Asian lineage and futuristic. From appearances at Coachella, Hï Ibiza, Fabric London, and Brooklyn Mirage, to releases across the Indo House spectrum, he has become a central figure in shaping 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, rituals where identity, tradition, and club culture collide, and their releases continue to push the boundaries of house and techno while remaining deeply grounded in their origins. With "Bombay Acid," Merchant and Kumari deliver a production that is both hypnotic and expansive, inviting listeners into a universe where rhythm, culture, and underground energy meet in unison.
