Behind the Decks: My Process and Passion
It is not just about turning knobs for a living. It is about that connection when the crowd roars and the beat drops perfectly.
A throwback shot of me locked in, focused on the mix. The gear changes, the hairstyle changes, but the passion for music is forever. Happy World DJ Day.
A view from my side of the stage. Wearing my 'Pardon My मराठी' shirt with pride, fist in the air, connected to thousands of people. This is why I do what I do.
Guilty of sonic seduction. A close-up shot capturing the joy I feel behind the decks when a mix comes together perfectly and the crowd is with me.
About Behind the Decks
When I am behind the console, I rely on industry-standard Pioneer gear to keep the energy flowing. I never use pre-made playlists. Every transition is live, reading the room and mixing on the fly to make sure the vibe stays high, whether it is a deep Afro-house drop or a high-energy Bollywood anthem.
My Approach to Live Mixing
I treat every gig like a festival set. Whether I am playing at a college fest in Mumbai or a private wedding sangeet, the goal is to sell goosebumps. I don't just rip tracks. I flip Bollywood hits into tech-house bangers, adding my own flavor—a mix of deep melodic techno, my Punjabi roots, and a dash of Marathi madness.
What Happens Behind the Booth
- Live Transitions: You won't hear generic transitions here. I build my sets based on the crowd's energy. If you need a shift from deep house warm-ups to high-octane commercial hits, I adjust the flow in real-time.
- Technical Setup: I work with industry-standard Pioneer DJ equipment (2x CDJ 2000 NXS2/3000 + 1x DJM 900 NXS2 Mixer). This ensures the sound quality is top-notch, provided the venue has the compatible sound system ready.
- Genre Fusion: I specialize in Bolly-Tech. This means taking classics like 'O Womaniya' or 'Golmaal' and giving them a pounding underground twist. It keeps the dance floor full without relying on the same tired tracks you hear everywhere else.
Customization
For sangeets and weddings, I offer full progression sets. We start with melodic techno to set the mood and build into the peak-hour madness. If you have specific tracks for entries or special moments, I can craft those edits with 48 hours notice. Just let me know what the vibe is, and I will bring the soundtrack.
