MadStarBase are one of the first modern artists to reimagine how the world experiences Bollywood music by creating floor shaking, bass-heavy, club-centric remixes of iconic Bollywood songs. Songs such as Choli Ke Peeche, Mehbooba Mehbooba and Laila O Laila were remixed with such ferocity that it made Indian music, particularly Bollywood songs, feel cool again, and inspired an entire generation of musicians and artists.
From original tracks to bootlegs and remixes, from fashion to art, MadStarBase have become an undeniable force helping shape the culture of young India today.
