Krunal “Kratex” Ghorpade and Rock Kacchi (aka Wajid Kacchi) have surged from the Pune music scene to global recognition in just 1.5 years, pioneering Marathi House Music (M-House) and taking it to new heights. Together, they transformed World of Vibes into a trailblazing brand, with Kratex’s genre-defining sound and Rock Kacchi’s skill in emcee mic controlling and DJing, playing an important role in making M-House successful. Their ability to pull massive crowds culminated in India’s biggest sold-out show at Pune’s Ballr Club, where Kratex headlined to a packed audience.
Their breakthrough hit Taambdi Chaamdi, featuring rapper Shreyas, went viral, attracting attention from fans, influencers, and eventually, global music giant Spinnin’ Records. This led to a groundbreaking deal, making Taambdi Chaamdi the first Marathi House track to reach international success.
Rock and Krunal make sure Marathi music goes global with their modern style and techniques. After their iconic Pune show, they took M-House global with sold-out international performances, including a four-city tour of Australia and New Zealand, hitting Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Auckland. With a growing list of sold-out shows across India and the world, the duo’s relentless passion and hard work have propelled Marathi music onto the global stage, proving that regional music can make waves worldwide.
