It is about years of preparation, reading the energy of the room, and knowing exactly when to drop the next track. Here is a look at what happens behind the console. ## Photos and videos - ![A view from behind the console during a set.

I am constantly watching the room, analyzing how you react to a Bollywood remix or when the energy shifts toward hip-hop. I use a standard Pioneer CDJ 2000 or 3000 setup because reliability is non-negotiable for me, but the real technical work happens on my laptop, where I keep my music library organized by tempo and energy. This allows me to jump between genres like EDM and retro hits without ever killing the vibe. Mastering the flow of a party is my obsession. Whether I am playing at Iron Hill Brewery or a festival stage, my goal is the same: no gaps, no awkward pauses, just pure momentum. I treat every set like a live conversation with the audience. If the crowd needs a 90s throwback to get moving, that is where we go. If they are ready for a high-octane Bollywood remix, I pivot immediately. This is why I stick to the industry standard Pioneer CDJ 2000 or 3000 NXS2 setups. They allow for the precision beat-matching and looping I need to blend disparate tracks seamlessly. For my VDJ sets, I run Serato Video and Rekordbox, syncing high-definition visuals live. It is an extra layer of complexity, but it transforms a music set into a full sensory experience. I do not just stand there and nod; I am actively monitoring the sound levels, cueing tracks, and MCing to keep the hype real. Whether it is a private party in Mysore or a club night in Bangalore, I show up with my redundancy drives and a professional mindset so that even if tech fails, the party never does. ## About Abi I am Abi, and I believe the best parties happen when the music flows exactly where the crowd takes it. When I am not behind the console at a club or festival, I am usually at home with my wife and daughter. They keep me grounded so I can bring full energy to your event.
