Live Loopstation & Beatboxing Performances
No DJ decks, no pre-recorded tracks. Just a mic, a loopstation, and raw energy. I build entire soundscapes live—from high-tempo Psytrance to DnB riffs—to turn your event into a proper jam.
This is a live loopstation cover of a Drum and Bass track. I start with a beatbox drum pattern, layer in a bassline, and then add guitar and vocal melodies on top. It shows how I can build a full song in real time.
A little studio session where I'm creating a Psytrance track using only my voice. Every sound you hear, from the kick drum to the squelchy synth leads, is made with beatboxing techniques and then looped and manipulated.
Here I'm combining my electric guitar with beatboxing and live looping. This allows me to create richer, more melodic Drum and Bass tracks with a live band feel, even when I'm performing solo.
A throwback to the Indian Beatbox Championship. Competing at this level was an incredible experience that pushed my technical skills and stage presence. I made it to the Top 16 in the country.
Just a glimpse of a new Dark Psy track I'm working on. For this one, I'm using two loopstations to create even more complex layers and textures. It's all about pushing the boundaries of what can be done with just the human voice.
About Live Music: Beatboxing & Loopstation Sets
My setup is fully live. When you book me, you are not getting a playlist; you are getting a real-time build of every kick, snare, bassline, and guitar riff. I use the Roland RC505 loopstation to layer these sounds instantly, meaning I can adapt the energy of the track based on how the crowd is vibing right in front of me.
Most performances rely on pre-recorded tracks, but my setup is different. I build everything live. If you have ever wondered how a full electronic track happens on stage without a laptop hidden in the background, this is it.
Why Live Looping?
Using my voice and instruments, I create a loop that repeats and evolves. I start with a beatbox drum pattern, layer in a bassline, and then add guitar or vocal melodies on top. It is a bit like coding. If the timing is off, the whole track falls apart, but that is where the thrill is. Whether it is a high-tempo Drum and Bass set for a packed house party or a trippy, layered Psytrance journey for an underground gig, the sound is organic and strictly original.
The Setup & Requirements
I keep my tech requirements straightforward. I travel to your venue with my gear, but I do need a solid PA system or high-quality speakers to handle the bass frequencies. I provide the XLR or Jack output from my loopstation, and you just need to make sure the venue has enough power for a clean sound.
Genres & Vibe
My sets usually lean into electronic territory. Expect heavy drops from beatboxing and melodic layers from my electric guitar. I have competed at the Indian Beatbox Championship, which really sharpened my technical skills, and I bring that same intensity to every 60-minute set. Whether you want to keep it chill or turn the energy up to eleven, I build the set to match the room.
Aniketh Ak
I am a software developer by day, but when I hit the stage, the code gets swapped for beats. I have been deep in the beatbox scene for years, and my loopstation is basically an extension of my arm now. I do not just hit play; I build the entire sonic architecture of my sets in front of you.
