Sri Lankan music icon RANIDU is returning to Ultra Music Festival in Miami this March and bringing his fiery Bailatronic beats along. BAILATRONIC is a new genre created by RANIDU, blending together Baila, the folk dance music of Sri Lanka, and various styles of modern electronic dance music. The first single from the genre was premiered on Billboard’s EDM platform “The Code” and BBC Radio1 in August 2013. Described by LessThan3.com as “the future…combining baila sounds with elements of trap, big room, and bounce music,” BAILATRONIC is something truly new and original.
