In the mid-2000s, Himesh Reshammiya became the first Indian artist to achieve a rockstar-like status for his playback singing. Before his rise, movie soundtracks were diverse, but Himesh created a "brand" of music so distinct that it sparked a massive demand for non-stop dance mixes.
While Himesh himself has moved toward film scoring and acting, these remixes preserve a specific moment when his music was synonymous with desi nightclubs and ringtone-era pop.
