I bring live turntablism, beat juggling, and custom mashups to the dance floor to turn standard sets into high-energy performances. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Here's something different. I tried beat juggling with a Nirvana classic on my turntables. I love experimenting and pushing boundaries by mixing rock with hip-hop techniques.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2f7819d5-eac7-43db-ae4f-d686208cdb7e) - [Video: A closer look at my turntables in action.

When you book me for a set, you get live scratching on Pioneer decks and real-time mashups that I build on the fly. Whether it is blending a classic rock anthem with a hip-hop beat or mixing Kannada hits into a commercial set, I keep the energy shifting so the dance floor stays engaged. When the floor needs a lift, standard song transitions do not cut it. My approach to DJing is technical. I use my turntables as an instrument, not just a playback device. ### Why Live Scratching Matters It creates a visual and auditory hook. People notice when the music changes in a way they did not expect. I use professional Pioneer setups to ensure the sound quality is crisp, whether I am at a private party at the Taj or a corporate event in Bangalore. ### My Process I do not believe in the same set for everyone. Before the event, we sit down to discuss the 'do and don't' playlist. I take those constraints and build a set around them. If you want a specific vibe, like a high-octane 90s nostalgia trip or a modern commercial mix, I layer in mashups that bridge the gap between those genres. ### Common Questions * **Do you take requests?** Absolutely. I read the room. If a request fits the flow, I will find a way to mix it in. * **What gear do you bring?** I come with my MacBook Pro and professional controllers. I rely on the venue for the main PA system and speakers, but I handle all the cabling and console setup 45 to 60 minutes before the start. * **Can you handle MC duties?** Yes, I double as an MC for corporate events and weddings to keep the flow moving during speeches or transitions. My goal is to keep you and your guests on the floor, not just listening, but participating in the energy. ## About Raghu Achar I am Raghu. I have spent years behind the decks in Bangalore’s top clubs, and my life is defined by the beat. Whether it is a high-energy wedding or a corporate bash, I bring my own gear and my own spin on tracks to make sure the night is a total rager.
