Celebrating 50 Releases: Dynamite Disco Club drops Dynamite Cuts Vol. 1

Mumbai, 18^th July 2025: India’s homegrown house and disco imprint, Dynamite Disco Club (DDC), released its 50^th record: Dynamite Cuts Vol. 1. This four-track compilation features fresh music from Farhan Rehman, Stalvart John, Nida, and SourFunk — delivering grooves crafted for the dancefloor and destined to travel far. Built for the dancefloor and designed to travel, DDC’s catalogue is steadily gaining momentum over the past few years.

“This release feels like a turning point,” says DDC founder Stalvart John. “We started with edits and Nu Disco, but both the sound and the community have evolved. Right now, we’re focused on House records that are fun, functional, and still say something. We want music that belongs in DJ crates and is representative of the modern day sound around these genres; that’s where the label is headed.”

Farhan Rehman opens the compilation with “Strictly Rhythm”, a funk-infused late-night weapon channelling 90’s New York styled House, complete with soulful vocal chops and piano stabs. Farhan, who also handles A&R for the label, calls the journey of nurturing new talent and pushing quality music “the most rewarding part of the job.” Stalvart John’s own contribution, “Cradle of Life”, is a cultural homage to Africa delivered through an 80’s-style Afro-Disco groove. Uplifting vocals and melodic ngoni riffs underline the label’s continued shift toward club-focused sounds that still honour their roots. 

Nida, one of the freshest voices on the record, delivers “Where Were You?”, a high-voltage Tech House number. The track is peak-time ready and built for sweaty dancefloor moments. SourFunk rounds out the record with “Dancin’”, a dazzling debut laced with funky guitars, lush strings, and pure self-expression. Written as a tribute to feminine energy on the dancefloor, the track reflects ethos of joy, freedom, and empowerment.

DDC has spent the last eight years throwing over 110 club events across 14 cities. Their landmark 100^th event at Dots Bay House in Hiriketiya, Sri Lanka earlier this year stands as a symbol of the label’s regional impact and expanding footprint. From residencies in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Pune, to pop ups in Goa, Pondicherry, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Kolkata, and more, as well as curations and stage takeovers across premiere festivals that include Magnetic Fields, Echoes of Earth, NH7 Weekender, and VH1 Supersonic; the events have cultivated a warm, genre-forward dancefloor community across the region. Dynamite Disco Club isn’t riding a wave — it’s creating one. With Dynamite Cuts Vol. 1, the label turns the page on a new chapter. Focused, forward-facing, and forged on the dancefloor.
