Niles Hollowell-Dhar had his first taste of mainstream success in 2010 when he produced the number #1 song in America “Like a G6” under the alias “The Cataracs”

In 2015 he entered DJ Mag’s top 100 DJs (a globally recognized pole of hundreds of thousands of voters from around the world) at #23 — the highest entrance of the year. The following year he would be voted #12 as he toured the world, playing his music for millions.
Coined the “prince of cinematica,” blending hard kicks and melodic elements of the dance scene with orchestral compositions has become his trademark. Much like dance music was the next step after the world of pop, composing and scores is surely his next.
