Plugins & Gear used by KSHMR | The Essential Vol. 1 Catalog

Niles Hollowell-Dhar is an American record producer, songwriter, and DJ who got recognition after his massive hit ‘Like a G6’ with The Cataracs. In 2016, he departed from the group and started going solo with his project ‘KSHMR’. Hit records such as Tsunami and Stampede were co-produced by him before he even released his own first single Megalodon under KSHMR. Incorporating the musical influences of India together with the upcoming big room sounds formed his signature sound. Records such as Secrets, Power, Wilcard, and Carry Me Home, made him an international superstar. KSHMR is known as one of the most technically skilled producers within the music scene and we all want to know which tools he is using.
