Meet Your MP3 Dealer: The Craft Behind the Decks
I do not just play tracks, I build a vibe. After 9 years of rocking sets from Mumbai to London, I am still just getting started. Here is a look at the studio, the tours, and the grind behind the music.

It's not just a solo act. This photo shows the energy of my friends and the crowd right there with me in the DJ booth.
About The DJ & The Craft
People often ask how I keep a dance floor moving for five hours straight. The secret is that I treat every set like a living conversation, not a rigid playlist. I am constantly reading the room, swapping between Bolly-Tech edits and Afro-House, and adapting to the crowd's energy in real-time. Whether it is a Sangeet or a club night, I make sure the transitions are seamless and the energy stays at one hundred.
My Approach to the Decks
I am not just standing behind a console hitting play. My style is strictly 'Open Format.' This means I am always watching the crowd, looking for who is bored, who is dancing, and who needs a faster tempo.
Why Bolly-Tech & Afro-House?
These genres slap because they bridge the gap between classic Indian nostalgia and modern, high-bpm electronic music. At weddings, I use these to keep the aunties and the college kids on the same floor. It is about mixing the familiar with the new.
The Gear
I am a purist when it comes to the technical side. I work on industry-standard Pioneer CDJ-3000s and a DJM mixer. When you book me, you know I am walking in with my own MacBook Pro, a Rekordbox library, and high-performance headphones. I respect the tech as much as I respect the music.
Where I Spin
While Mumbai is my home turf and where I built my name, I travel across India and the UK for gigs. From festival stages in Bangalore to intimate sundowners in Mumbai, I bring the same intensity to every booth.
Let’s Connect
If you want a DJ who MCs using modern slang instead of outdated wedding clichés, you are in the right place. We will do one pre-event call to handle the 'Vibe Check' and set your 'Do Not Play' list so there are no surprises on the night.
Still looking for the right beat?
Tell me what kind of event you are throwing and I will help you find the right fit.
