Dualist Inquiry
India
Signature Polo 🌙 Stage
In the 15 years since emerging from his New Delhi bedroom studio, Sahej Bakshi aka Dualist Inquiry has become one of India’s most influential electronic artists. Dubbed the “poster boy of Indian electronica” after his breakthrough debut Doppelganger (2013), Bakshi has consistently pushed beyond easy labels, crafting a body of work that is both experimental and deeply accessible. His latest album When We Get There (2024) marks a turning point—nine tracks of nuanced production and introspective storytelling that affirm his evolution as an artist. Known for his ambitious live A/V shows with visual collaborators Ocupus, Dualist Inquiry has brought his sensory performances to stages worldwide, from Lollapalooza Mumbai, Magnetic Fields, SXSW Sydney, Wonderfruit, and beyond—sharing lineups with Caribou, Bonobo, and Flying Lotus. Beyond music, Bakshi has shaped India’s electronic landscape as co-founder of boxout.fm, the country’s leading independent radio platform. Recognized by Forbes India’s 30 Under 30 and GQ’s 50 Most Influential Young Indians, Dualist Inquiry continues to be a cultural connector, blending meticulous sound design with boundary-pushing ideas that have made him a mainstay of global electronic music.
