Kumar’s distinctive and boundary-pushing sound has continued to turn heads since his inception. 2021 saw the release of “Blackpool Boulevard” on Ninja Tune’s Technicolor imprint, a collaborative effort between Kumar and Barry Can’t Swim, became a surprise underground hit, with massive specialist radio support including Pete Tong making it his “Essential New Tune” and Danny Howard presenting it as the “Hottest Record in the World”, eventually going on to BBC Radio 1’s coveted playlist.
He is no stranger to surprise radio support, a self-released single he released unofficially, without a promo team, in early 2021 would very quickly be named ‘hottest record in the world’ by BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac.
Kumar’s DJ performance at London’s Earth, part of the South Asian-focused festival ‘Dialled In’, exemplified his unique abilities when he surprised a sold-out crowd with an impeccable set, alerting audiences to his rising talent. With DJ performances so far including a breakout set at BBCR1’s Big Weekend and forthcoming at Four Tet’s curated All-Dayer At London’s Finsbury Park, Kumar has undeniably strong co-signs from all echelons of dance music.
