Adding a vibrant, feel-good edge is Grossomodo, celebrated for blending funk-infused basslines with contemporary house elements on tracks like âC'est La Vie' and âTake Control'. Samm brings a deeper, more hypnotic energy, fusing house and techno influences across releases such as âBack To Life' and âVoices'.

Juan Arnau Jr., founder and chief global brand of elrow added, "India has emerged as one of the most exciting and fast-growing destinations for live entertainment and electronic music culture today. Dropping the artist line-up for elrow Mumbai makes this moment especially significant for us, as the spirit of celebration, colour and collective joy that defines India resonates deeply with the world we create at elrow. With Kaos Garden, we're thrilled to bring together a dynamic mix of global talent alongside our signature universe of music, art and immersive storytelling, as we continue to grow the elrow family in India."
Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn, said, "India's electronic music audience has rapidly evolved from discovering global artists to demanding deeper, more immersive experiences. elrow exemplifies this shift, seamlessly blending music, art and large-scale production into a format that is both theatrical and truly communal. With a power-packed line-up spotlighting some of the most exciting names across house and techno, elrow Mumbai marks a significant milestone in further strengthening India's position on the global electronic music map."
Conceived by Madrid-born artist Okuda San Miguel, this surreal "Kaos Garden" reimagines paradise through a vivid, immersive lens. Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, the experience transforms the space into a fantastical universe where colourful skulls, flying mountains, mythical creatures, and dreamlike landscapes blur the lines between heaven, earth and hell.
With immersive stage worlds, roaming performers and playful surprises unfolding throughout the crowd, every moment feels alive with movement and colour.
The showcase brings together cutting-edge production and a vibrant cast of performers from dancers and acrobats to surreal characters creating an atmosphere that is as unpredictable as it is immersive.
For fans who thrive on the collective rush of a packed dancefloor and the unfiltered energy of electronic music, elrow promises a night where the party doesn't just happen on stage, but all around you.
