According to Billboard, "Om Telolet Om", which means "Sir, honk your horn, sir" is slated to join world-class DJs like Diplo, Carnage and Mashmello at the festival's 10th anniversary on Jan. 28.

The popularity of "Om Telolet Om" started on Tuesday, after Indonesian netizens spammed international DJ's social media accounts, which piqued people's curiosity. Originally, the phrase came from the sound of local buses' customized horns. Since then, world renown DJs, including Dutch duo Firebeatz, have incorporated the bus horn tunes into a song. (kes)
