Live DJ Sets and Electronic Music Performances
Behind the decks, it's about energy alignment. Whether it's a club gig or a festival stage, I blend house, breaks, and moody techno to keep the floor moving.
The energy at my Boiler Room debut in Goa was unreal. This is what it's all about: connecting with the crowd and creating a moment.
Hitting 500k views on my Boiler Room set was a massive moment of gratitude. It’s proof that when you put the right energy out there, people connect with it.

About this collection
When you see me play, you're not just watching someone hit play. I'm actively layering hypnotic rave nostalgia with edgy breaks and dark techno. It’s a technical game of reading the room, managing energy flows, and making sure the sound hits exactly right for the specific crowd in front of me, whether it's a packed club or a sunset festival set.
A live set is a conversation. I don’t walk in with a rigid, pre-recorded playlist; I build the set based on how the room feels. From sunset house sets at Echoes of Earth to high-intensity techno nights in Manchester, my goal is always the same: keep things fluid and reactive.
The Technical Side
I spend a lot of time on track selection—finding those blends between deep house and breaks that surprise people. I look at the crowd, see who’s connecting, and adjust accordingly. It’s not about flashy moves; it’s about control. My process involves:
- Layering: Using hypnotic elements to build tension before a drop.
- Adaptability: Transitioning between genres like house, electro, and dark techno based on the energy shift.
- Crowd Connection: Feeding off the floor to dictate the pace of the night.
Mentorship & Performance
This is actually part of what I teach my mentorship students. We don't just talk about gear; we talk about 'the moment.' How do you transition when the energy dips? How do you use the mixer to create tension? If you're looking for someone to bring this kind of energy to your event, or if you need guidance on your own performance setup, this is where we start. Yalla yalla, let’s get to work.
