I do not just press play. My workspace is where I craft live mashups, layer techno grooves over Bollywood hits, and keep the dance floor moving with non-stop energy.

About Behind the Decks

You will never catch me hitting 'sync' and walking away. I mix every track live, blending Bollywood, techno, and Sambalpuri beats on the fly to match the specific energy of your crowd. Whether it is an intimate house party or a packed club night, I keep my Pioneer decks hot and my mashups fresh, never relying on pre-recorded sets.
