An ode to a pivotal underground scene past and present, his »Punjabi Garage« mix for Shuffle ‘N’ Swing may have put him on the map, but pigeonhole Yung Singh at your peril. Firmly rooted in UK soundsystem culture, his early influences growing up around hip-hop, jungle, and Punjabi sounds passed down by his siblings were later developed by the garage and grime scenes at university while clubbing and learning to mix. Within a year, he found himself on the other side of the decks earning his stripes in the booths of seminal London venues Corsica Studios, Fabric, and XOYO.

Now using radio as a means to showcase both versatility and taste, no mix of Yung Singh’s is the same. His 2020 archive provides only a snapshot of his true style and identity, many of his guest mixes showcasing one vibe to the next. More recently, his output on Rinse FM blends this broad range of styles with home listening at higher tempos and heritage, something which is set to continue throughout his new show.

As a core crew member of the leading Asian underground crew Daytimers, he’s at the forefront of a thriving new scene for the South Asian diaspora. Raising awareness of this grassroots community and its history within British dance music is central to him as an artist. Leading by example, he strives to counter racism and cultural erasure as a voice for positive change in both dance music as a rising DJ and in wider society as a trainee doctor.
