KSHMR Hints at The Cataracs Reunion—Is He Going Back to His Roots?

KSHMR has sent fans into a frenzy with a cryptic Instagram story urging them to follow The Cataracs, adding, “Because you never know, something might be coming.” The teaser has sparked speculation about a potential reunion or collaboration, raising the question: Is KSHMR returning to where it all began?

The Cataracs: Where It All Started

Before he became one of the most recognized names in EDM, KSHMR, born Niles Hollowell-Dhar, was one-half of The Cataracs, a California-based duo he formed with David Singer-Vine in 2003. The two met in high school and quickly gained recognition with their fusion of electronic, hip-hop, and pop sounds.

The Cataracs found mainstream success with “Like a G6,” a global hit in collaboration with Far East Movement and Dev, as well as “Bass Down Low,” which further cemented their status in the pop-electronic scene. Their production prowess extended beyond their own music, crafting beats for artists like Snoop Dogg and Selena Gomez. However, in 2012, Singer-Vine left the duo, leaving Hollowell-Dhar to continue the project solo.

The Birth of KSHMR: A New Era

In 2014, Hollowell-Dhar made the bold decision to step away from The Cataracs and reinvent himself as KSHMR, diving deep into the world of big room and electro house. His debut tracks like “Megalodon” and “Karate” showcased a harder, festival-ready sound, marking a stark departure from the radio-friendly beats of The Cataracs.

As KSHMR, he quickly became a respected figure in the dance music industry, known for his cinematic compositions, Indian-inspired melodies, and high-energy festival anthems. Collaborations with Tiësto (“Secrets”) and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (“Opa”) solidified his reputation as a powerhouse producer.

Could a Reunion Be on the Horizon?

With KSHMR’s Instagram tease, longtime fans are now wondering if he’s looking to revisit his roots. The Cataracs’ official pages have been largely inactive in recent years, making this sudden call to action even more intriguing. Could we see a revival of their signature sound? Or is this a fresh take on their past collaborations with a modern twist?

While no official details have been revealed, the mere suggestion of new activity around The Cataracs is enough to get fans excited. Whether it’s a full-fledged reunion, a special project, or simply a nostalgic nod to his past, KSHMR has certainly set the rumor mill spinning.

One thing is for sure—something is coming. And if history is any indication, it’s bound to be big! Follow us and we keep a close eye on developments to come!
