UN*DEUX’s single ‘Karma’ teems with South Asian flare & attitude-filled fun
The track is the lead single from his upcoming album ‘GOOD GURU’ dropping in May
Sri Lankan artist UN*DEUX has unveiled his latest single, ‘Karma’, featuring magnetic vocals from Keilimei—a track that’s poised to become a dancefloor staple.
Blending organic and electronic elements, UN*DEUX’s signature TB-303 lines up effortlessly with the unmistakable tones of South Asia he laces in most of his tracks, injecting it with a fun-loving vibrancy, culminating in a rhythm-forward banger that’s as hypnotic as it is energising.

From the get-go, ‘Karma’ carries UN*DEUX’s signature attitude—punchy, confident, and soaked in groove.
At around the two-minute mark, though, the vibe takes a turn, with more sinister singing weaving through the haunting mix, courtesy of Keilimei’s vocals. This eerie shift pulls listeners deeper into the track before a return to the sassy, punchy melodies culminating in a playful, energetic climax.

This release is the lead single from his forthcoming album, ‘GOOD GURU’, dropping in May.
Mixmag Asia has had an exclusive listen to the project, and it’s equally as impressive as the instant classic ‘Karma’.
We caught UN*DEUX in action over New Year’s Eve at Dots Bay House, where he delivered a high-voltage set as part of one of Mixmag Asia x Dots’ monthly collaborative events. The night was a fitting showcase of both the artist and Sri Lanka’s leading venue.
UN*DEUX brings a playful energy and carefree attitude to his work, felt when he’s performing, producing in the studio, and through his ever-vibrant social media presence. This dynamic approach is reflected in his music, making the upcoming ‘GOOD GURU’ era one we’re eager to see unfold.
