Malkit Singh's Jind Mahi is an absolute gem. Here's a version that really connected with a lot of people, hope you enjoy.

Jind Mahi (Cinematic / Senti)

Neighbours Dhol vs Spiral

I took a long break from dropping new music, but this year that all changes.
-
This is the first drop of the year - I remixed one of my favorite songs of all time. I really love lush chords and cinematic sounds - so remiganing some of my childhood songs in that sonic world has been a really special way to explore my relationship with music and my roots.

This sound really blew up online, so thank you for showing it so much love. I'm super motivated to make a lot more music and your love is definitely helping in revitalizing that passion after a few years.

with love,
Asad

Chan Kithan - Ali Sethi - Asad Khan Remix

I grew up in Pakistan, my family is from Faisalabad. Growing up, my grandfather listened to a lot of qawwali around me as a kid and that influence never left my dna. After years of making music, I finally did something with a track from Ustaad Ji. This remix of Piya Ghar Aaya went absolutely viral on socials when I shared it, so I'm finally putting it out in full quality. Enjoy! 

Piya Ghar Aya - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Asad's Remix

Sindhi is the second track from my EIGHT X EIGHT series. This song samples an old Pakistani vocalist Zarina Baloch ji. The feeling this song evokes for me is one of transcendence and flight - hope you enjoy!

w, love

Sindhi

Third song from my EIGHT by EIGHT series is a remix of 'Dil Da Jaani' by Madam Noor Jahan.

I’ve always loved this song — grew up hearing Dil Da Jaani around the house, and it’s stayed with me ever since. This remix is my take on it, bringing warm synths wrapped around Noor Jahan ji's beautiful vocal.

Hope it hits you the way it hit me while making it. Let me know what you think 💛


Dil Da Jani - Noor Jahan - Asad's Remix

The 4th track from my Eight x Eight series comes from Mastané — my project with my brother Raaginder. 

I met Raf last year while working on his live tour, and NLS was one of those songs that just got stuck in my head after the first couple of rehearsals. This remix is our (Mastané's) take, with Raaginder’s violin bringing the kind of magic only he can. 

We've been playing this out at our shows on tour and the crowd's have gone crazy for it - can't wait to bring it to a city near you on tour soon!

Thanks for showing this series so much love thus far - four down, four to go! 

w love,
Asad

Nach Le Soniye (NLS) - Raf Saperra - Mastané Remix (Asad + Raaginder)

This is the 5th track from my 8x8 series! Saari Raat was originally sung by Surinder Kaur Ji, and this is our rendition of this timeless melody. Working with Amrita Kaur has been a dream come true, I'm a huge fan of her work and her voice so it's an absolute honour to produce her and sing beside her. Oh yah, this is also my first ever time singing on a track I've put out :)

Let me know what you think! 3 songs to go on this series :) 

Saari Raat - Asad Khan, Amrita Kaur

When I dropped Closer in the middle of the pandemic, I had no idea it would reach as many people as it did. It became my biggest song by a distance and the response blew me away.

But I always felt like it needed a version built for the dance floor — something with bounce, low end, and more movement - so here it is!

Track 6/8 of the Eight x Eight series is out now

Closer (Remix) - Asad

Track 7/8: Naag (Remix)
I came up DJing local weddings — and if you’re from Surrey, you know nothing hit harder than Jazzy B’s Naag. It wasn’t just a track, it was a moment every single time.

For this remix, I reimagined Naag through the heavy bass work of Chase & Status’ Baadadan. I first dropped it at the debut Kaminéh live experience, and the warehouse went off. (See video)

Original: Naag by Jazzy B
Beat inspiration: Baadadan by Chase & Status

Naag - Jazzy B - Asad’s Remix

Tere Naal is the final chapter of 8x8.

Two weeks ago, this song wasn’t even a thought. I got home from a show in Montreal, crashed for less than 6 hours, and then jumped on a flight to Mississippi to link with my brother Surtaal. In the intense heat of his garage studio, we entered a kind of portal — complete flow state, where melodies, lyrics, and ideas just kept coming. Five new songs poured out of that session, and this is the first track from the world we’re about to build.

This whole process has opened me in special ways. It’s shown me the joy of singing, of writing words that feel honest, and of letting the music flow through me instead of trying to make the music — if that makes any sense.

All of this is only possible because a group of truly special humans are working on this together. I’m deeply grateful for the world-class humans on our team — true wizards of their crafts — who make it an honour to create beside them.

Before Summer Ends - Khanvict & Hark ft. Sahil Khan

I grew up loving this track, and it is still one of my all time favourites to come from AR Rahman. Doing an official remix for this all these years later feels unreal. Have a listen and let me know what you think!



---- Press ----

Vancouver based acts Khanvict and Desi Sub Culture teamed up to deliver this bass heavy trap workup of one of the biggest Bollywood tracks of all time - AR Rahman’s Jiya Jale. Featuring the voice of the legendary Lata Mangeshakar, the remix plays off the intensity of the South Indian lyrics and percussion and teleports them to a peak time raving session. Snakes x Ladders worked closely with Venus Recordings in Mumbai to bring this official remix to life.

Khanvict - Searching For You

Extremely proud to present Surrey's very own @khanvict with his debut EP "Kahani". Throughout its five tracks, "Kahani" sweeps the listener into the magic of its rich soundscapes, complete with mesmerizing vocals, unique instrumentals, and modern bass elements. Khanvict weaves an intricate tale throughout the collection of tracks, beginning with the slowly burning "Abandon," to one of the standout gems of the EP - " Safar," a cinematic, vibrant and groovy piece featuring a dream collaboration with talented violinist/instrumentalist Raaginder. Each track is either dancefloor-friendly, such as the bass-and-vocal heavy "Turiya Turiya," or emotionally appealing like the sultry and expressive "Frozen." With what is undoubtedly one of the most unique sounds out there right now, we can't wait to see where Khanvict leads us next.

Raaginder and I are having a moment. I originally stumbled across Raaginder’s music while visiting the desert in Morocco. I knew of the California-based violin player’s work before, but it was that trip that opened my eyes. Within a year, we had connected online, met and recorded several times in person, and even collaborated onstage at Sessions Festival (New York) and a sold-out hometown show at the Imperial Vancouver this January. With an EP together on the horizon, “Butterflies (Khanvict Remix)” is a token of brotherly love - a remix of one of my favourite Raaginder tunes - with a proper EDM twist.


Raaginder:

Raaginder is a violinist and music composer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Hailing from the school of Maihar-Seni Gharana, Raaginder implements improvisation, rhythmic patterns, and the sounds of Indian Classical music on a modified five-string violin. He has performed in prominent venues all over the world such as The White House, Staples Center, Wembley Arena and many more. Through these endeavors and experiences, Raaginder's art brings forth a new, intense, and interesting sound for his audiences to hear.

Burning Man 2020 (Live Set) - w/ Naman

I’m Asad Khan — a producer, musician, singer, and DJ.

Formerly known as Khanvict, I built a career as a high-energy DJ — a path that reflected one part of me, but not all. My many parts didn’t always seem like they could exist in the same room,
let alone the same person.

Born in Pakistan, I’m deeply influenced by mystic Sufi philosophy, the listening traditions passed down from my grandfather, and my mother’s poetic sensibility. I was fortunate to be exposed to the greats of Pakistani music — Mehdi Hassan, Noor Jahan, and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan — from a very young age.

When I moved to Canada at 13, I was swept into the world of electronic music and its immersive soundscapes. I became both an engineer and an artist, rooted in heritage and modern innovation. For a long time, I felt I had to choose between tradition and experimentation, art and science, the East and the West — which left me feeling isolated and misunderstood. I didn’t quite belong anywhere, because I belonged to all of it. I now understand these worlds aren’t separate — they’re connected through my own, and our collective, existence.

My sound is about reclaiming that truth. I blend cinematic textures, rich low-end frequencies, and live instrumentation, drawing from Qawwali, Ghazal, and Indian classical forms. Committed to high-fidelity sound, I work to bring depth and clarity to classical and folk-rooted music. For me, it’s not about performance — it’s about connection: to self, to spirit, to others, and between worlds. I aim to create work that is timeless, ever-evolving, and deeply human.

Asad Khan
