KSHMR, Ampermut, Gobi Desert Collective & TEJA announce Mirage on Dharma

‘Mirage’ runs eight tracks of warm, immersive organic house under KSHMR’s new alias, TEJA. He made the record together with Ampermut and Gobi Desert Collective, and while his own catalogue leans euphoric and high-energy, this one leans spacious and considered. KSHMR was voted No. 23 in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll for 2025.

TEJA takes its name from Tej, KSHMR’s late younger brother, and the alias is built to outlast this record, since further material and live shows are already planned under it. ‘I fell in love with organic house some years ago and started this album, not knowing where it would lead,’ KSHMR said, and the partnership traced back to a chance connection between KSHMR, Ampermut and Gobi Desert Collective, who began trading demos until the sessions became Mirage.

The album moves through ‘Oasis’, ‘Nigaaro’ and ‘Rosh’ (featuring Mir Iqbal), alongside the likes of ‘Aquarius’ and ‘Sundial’. KSHMR has been open about where the mood came from: ‘It’s a more relaxed sound, with space for instruments and groove, and I’m excited to see where this journey goes,’ he said.

Mirage has been out through Dharma since 17 July 2026.
