Why this recording

Posted on Diplo's own channel four days after the set, this film of just over an hour is credited to a small crew: Cambron Lyles as director and camera operator, Kartik Kher as second camera, Adeeb Raza on drone, for the agency Kursza. The setup is as much a location film as a set recording, with two ground operators and aerial footage credited. The video belongs to a series of livestreams the artist gathers in a playlist on his channel.

On 26 December 2025, American producer and DJ Diplo set up his decks on the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, a holy city in northern India, for a one-hour filmed DJ set. A major figure in electronic and global pop music, co-founder of Major Lazer and Silk City, Diplo blends house, dance and global influences in a striking spiritual and visual setting. This live set reflects his taste for captures in natural surroundings, in the lineage of the great filmed DJ sets that have redefined the staging of electronic music. Facing the river and the Himalayan foothills, the artist strings together edits and transitions in a sunset atmosphere conducive to collective trance. The polished capture showcases both the performance and the beauty of the location. This filmed live concert confirms Diplo’s ability to reinvent the open-air set format. A prime document for fans of electro, house and filmed DJ sets, recorded in India in 2025.
