SRI Flips a Slur Into a Club Anthem With 'THIMIRU'

Brooklyn’s rising club queen reclaims Tamil pride on a dancefloor-ready banger.

Brooklyn producer, DJ, and artist SRI is here to make you move — and think — with her electrifying new single 'THIMIRU'. Taking a Tamil word historically used to shame women (“audacity”) and flipping it on its head, SRI turns it into a badge of honour, soundtracking self-confidence with pulsing Indo-house rhythms and glossy electro-pop production.

This is empowerment you can sweat to. 'THIMIRU' surges with the kind of energy that commands a packed dancefloor, bridging SRI’s South Asian roots with her global club aesthetic. “This track is about taking back what was once used against us and wearing it like armour,” she says — and the result feels like a fearless celebration of identity, culture, and survival.

Known for her genre-bending sets that fuse Desi percussion with electronic, hip-hop, and club sounds, SRI has been steadily building a reputation as one of the most magnetic voices in New York nightlife. She’s DJed at New York Fashion Week (and walked the runway), performed live on The Lot Radio, and opened for heavyweights Raja Kumari and Yung Raja. With over 35K followers and 1M+ streams on her production credits, she’s got the receipts - and the momentum.

'THIMIRU' isn’t just a single, it’s an invitation to get loud, get proud, and get free. Whether you’re in a club, at a protest, or dancing alone in your bedroom, SRI’s latest is built to empower.

Turn up the heat with 'THIMIRU' now - and catch SRI taking global club music somewhere bolder, queerer, and louder.
