Alesso Wants To Expand His Sounds to The Far East and Beyond
Alesso is quickly becoming even more of a star in the EDM world as the genre continues to globalize. We’re now getting major EDM festivals that began in the US moving to Asian countries like India, China, Japan and more – and artists are following the trend. Alesso has already worked with Chinese and Korean vocalists in the past couple months, and in a recent interview at the inaugural EDC India he expressed interest in working with Indian artists, as well.
“For me, it is a challenge to do more unexpected things in a way that it also makes sense,” he said. “If I keep coming back here, I feel like, why wouldn’t I give it a go and try to collaborate with Indian artistes? I think [Indian] people are passionate about the music. People know the songs. It doesn’t have to be a huge song for people to know. I think the market is growing. It is becoming bigger”
Alesso isn’t the first artist to look at the Indian subcontinent as a place of inspiration; Diplo has notably visited the area multiple times both with Major Lazer and solo, and finds it ripe with opportunity. Many other festival brands have also started looking toward India as they grow their business. As EDM in the US and UK hits a fever pitch and reaches saturation, emerging markets in China and India could be the next frontier in electronic music.
Don’t forget that Alesso will here at Phoenix Lights on April 8-9th to show us the diverse talent he has been polishing up on! Tickets can be bought right here if you do so please. Don’t forget to follow him on all social media accounts below to stay up to date with any new music or news!

What's up everybody! My name is Eric Alexander, although feel free to call me The Kid Eric, which is my DJ name. I'm a recent college graduate who started with Relentless Beats back in October 2015. My dream is to be a headliner DJ, but if that doesn't happen, then what I'm doing right now is perfectly alright. As long as I got my music and good vibes. My favorite music is anything with a lot of bass in it. Bass house, dubstep, DnB, trap, and whatever else there is out there that I can put my hands on. I think it's easier to just call me a bass head really. That's pretty much there really is to me. After all, I'm just a kid doing what he loves. If you ever see me at a show don't be afraid to grab my attention and say what's up! I absolutely love meeting new people <3
