Nucleya Albums and EPs: From Koocha Monster to Diggi Bumba

Nucleya is the producer who made "desi bass" a genre. Udyan Sagar, who also made music as part of Bandish Projekt, took Indian street music, film samples and folk voices and pushed them through heavy bass music until they filled festival grounds. His hit songs are everywhere, but his records tell the full story. This is a guide to every Nucleya album and EP on Apple Music India, in release order, from the early remix records to Diggi Bumba in 2026.

How we checked. Release dates and track counts come from Apple Music India (iTunes catalogue, country IN), checked on 28 October 2026. We only list releases credited to Nucleya as a main artist and released already. Film soundtracks with many composers and one or two releases on Apple that do not match his catalogue are left out (see the FAQ). For single tracks, read our Nucleya songs guide.

The early years

Horn OK Please (1 December 2010, 7 tracks). Credited on Apple to Nucleya, Udyan Manu Sagar and MC JD, and released through Saregama (copyright line 2017). Seven remixes of classic Hindi film songs, from "Dum Maro Dum" to "Disco Dancer" and "Aao Huzur". It is a fun window into how much old Bollywood sits under his sound.

Khandit Nayaka (EP, 25 October 2011, 4 tracks) and In My Heart Remixes (EP, 19 June 2012, 5 tracks). Two early EPs, released via Sagar Udyan / High Chai Music. These are mostly for completists, but they show the producer finding his feet in bass music.

The desi bass records

Koocha Monster (EP, 14 October 2013, 6 tracks). The record where Nucleya's sound clicks. "Street Boy", "Bell Gadi", "Akkad Bakkad", "Bangla Bass" (with Mou Sultana and Brooklyn Shanti), "Jamrock" and "New Delhi Nuttah" (with Delhi Sultanate). Street-level, loud and very funny. Start with: "Akkad Bakkad".

Bass Rani (album, 7 September 2015, 7 tracks). The big one. Bass Rani turned Nucleya into India's best-known electronic act. "Laung Gawacha" with Avneet Khurmi became a crossover hit, and "Aaja", "Chennai Bass" (with Sivamani and Chinna Ponnu), "Heer" (with Shruti Pathak) and "Mumbai Dance" show how wide his range of guests was. If you only play one Nucleya record, play this. Start with: "Laung Gawacha".

Raja Baja (EP, 3 September 2016, 6 tracks). A follow-up full of crowd songs: "Take Me There" (with KAVYA), "Bhayanak Atma" (with Gagan Mudgal), "Scene Kya Hai", "Jind Mahi", "Lights" and "Bakar Bakar". "Bhayanak Atma" is still one of his most famous drops. Start with: "Bhayanak Atma".

Tota Myna (EP, 13 March 2019, 6 tracks). A more song-led record with big guests: Vibha Saraf on "Lori", Rashmeet Kaur and Raftaar on "Mirza", Avneet Khurmi and Soltan on "Sohneya", Rashmeet Kaur and Whales on "Mahiya", Shruti Haasan on "Out of Your Mind" and Anirudh Ravichander and Anthony Daasan on "Going to America". Start with: "Lori".

The 2020s

Baaraat (EP with Ritviz, 4 October 2021, 4 tracks). "Sathi", "Ari Ari", "Roz" and "Baaraat". Two generations of Indian electronic pop on one record. See our Ritviz songs guide for the other side of the partnership.

Chamkillah (EP, 12 July 2024, 5 tracks). A record that arrived one single at a time: "Jogi" (2 November 2023), "KOBITA" (22 February 2024), "KAMLI" (29 February 2024), "Khoye Panchi" (23 March 2024) and "lightyears" with Da Fyer (27 June 2024), then the full EP. It is softer and more melodic than Raja Baja, without losing the bass. Start with: "KAMLI".

Diggi Bumba (album, 15 January 2026, 10 tracks). His second full-length album on Apple Music India: "Diggi Bumba", "Gup Chup", "Death Roll", "Jogan", "Kadhi Kadhi", "Happy Mood", "Nerenge Nerenge", "Sitaram" (with Chirag Katti, instrumental), "Death Roll (VIP)" and a VIP version of "Bhayanak Atma" with Gagan Mudgal. It connects the new sound back to the old hits. Start with: "Diggi Bumba".
