His biggest hit to-date, "Tsunami" is exactly as its title suggests as the hit single wrecked bars, clubs, festival stages, and stereos around the world, gaining Borgeous international fame. Premiered first by Pete Tong on his esteemed BBC Radio 1, "Tsunami" has been called one of the biggest tracks of 2013 and has hit every chart all over the world including #1 in the top 40 in the UK. The single won the EMPO Award for 'Track of the Year' and received nomination for The Juno Award 'Dance Recording of the Year'. With his second release of 2013 entitled "Stampede," Borgeous teamed up with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and DVBBS which landed him with back to back #1 songs on Beatport's Top 100 Charts.

Is KSHMR de ghost producer van Borgeous?
6 december 2016
Een anonieme bron heeft zich bij het Amerikaanse Your EDM gemeld met contracten tussen John James Borger (Borgeous) en Spinnin' Records die het bewijs zouden leveren dat er betalingen zijn gedaan naar Niles Hollowell-Dhar (KSHMR) voor het produceren van minstens twee tracks van Borgeous. Ook overleverde deze anonieme bron een officieel contract tussen Borgeous een Deep Dish Inc, een bedrijf waar KSHMR aan het hoofd staat, en een amendement bij deze overeenkomst waarin staat dat Borgeous bij Spinnin' Records mocht tekenen en dat KSHMR geen credits zou krijgen voor de nummers die uitgebracht worden onder de naam 'Borgeous'. Oftewel: ghost production. 21
