Sartek is one of the most talented dance music producer’s to come out of India and the only Indian to have graced the Beatport Top 100 (Electro House) charts, twice!
He has found the time to release on the likes of Hardwell’s Revealed label, the mighty Armada and Magik Music to just name a few and with Sartek also signing to the illustrious Cloud 9 Music making him more than a force to be reckoned with and an artist with hundred’s of thousands of avid followers.
Fellow Revealed and Armada label mate Ale Q has more than 9 years on the scene and become one of the most loved and respected DJ’s in Central America. Together they have come up with ‘Jump Right After You’. Slightly different in direction than the normal EDM, this killer cross over dance track has all the right elements and was immediately picked up for release and signed to SONY/disco:wax.
Sartek & Ale Q ‘Jump Right After You’ is released via disco:wax on 10th February 2017.
