Punjabi artist, producer and violinist Raaginder is preparing to unveil his latest musical project, be:coming, a four-track EP that promises to push the boundaries of contemporary Punjabi music. Releasing on May 29 via Dream Oasis/Empire, the project marks another significant milestone in the artist’s evolving career and showcases his ambition to create a sound that exists beyond traditional genre labels.
Over the years, Raaginder has built a reputation for blending rich musicality with innovative production, and be:comingappears to continue that journey. Described as his third EP and fourth major project, the release combines Punjabi language, electronic music and spiritual storytelling into a sound that feels both deeply rooted and forward-thinking. Rather than simply merging different influences, the project presents a fresh musical identity that reflects the changing landscape of global Punjabi music.
At the heart of the EP is the concept of flow. For Raaginder, movement is not only musical but emotional and spiritual. The project explores how language, rhythm and human connection interact, creating songs that encourage listeners to reflect while remaining immersed in the energy of the music.
Speaking about the release, Raaginder said:
“This project is about flow – how Punjabi language moves, how electronic music moves, and how love moves through us. I wanted to create something rooted in identity but without borders. Something spiritual, but still made for movement.”
That philosophy can be heard throughout the EP, which draws inspiration from traditional Indian musical foundations while embracing contemporary electronic sounds. Rhythmic structures influenced by classical taal are paired with atmospheric production, ambient textures and Raaginder’s signature violin melodies. The result is a collection of tracks that move seamlessly between moments of intensity, reflection and release.
The project also highlights Raaginder’s versatility as an artist. According to the release, he sings, writes, composes, produces and performs throughout the EP, bringing together every aspect of his creative vision. His ability to blend live instrumentation with modern production techniques has become one of his defining strengths and continues to set him apart within the Punjabi music scene.
The four-track release takes listeners on a carefully constructed journey. Opening track rangde explores love as a continuous process filled with yearning, growth and emotional movement. douluvme introduces UK Garage-inspired rhythms alongside devotional themes, creating a unique fusion of club energy and spiritual depth. The EP’s third track, lone star, features Supreme Sidhu and combines playful lyricism with emotional vulnerability before opening into expansive violin passages. Closing track fantasy reaches towards themes of imagination, euphoria and self-discovery, ending the project on a reflective note.
Beyond its musical innovation, be:coming also represents a celebration of Punjabi identity. The project places Punjabi language at its core while drawing inspiration from centuries of Sufi poetry and themes of universal love. By presenting these ideas through a modern electronic lens, Raaginder creates a bridge between tradition and the future, offering younger audiences a new way to engage with cultural storytelling.
As Punjabi music continues to gain international recognition, artists like Raaginder are helping redefine what the genre can become. be:coming is more than just a collection of songs; it is a statement about artistic growth, cultural pride and creative freedom. With its blend of spirituality, emotion and cutting-edge production, the EP positions Raaginder as one of the most exciting and innovative voices shaping the future of Punjabi music today.
