He started making mixtapes and remixes from his bedroom, which proved to be highly successful with an extensive number of online plays which helped build the brand “DJ Harj Matharu”. After a lot of positive feedback, Harj’s name grew and he then became in demand to book at events. Fusing over generations of music ranging from Bhangra to Deep House, Harj is proving to be one of the hottest properties in the Asian DJ’ing scene.
