Behind The Decks: A Look Into The Life Of DJ Any Me
See what goes into the mix when I'm off the mic. From my pre-show gear rituals to the high-energy moments in the booth, here is a glimpse of how I get ready to turn up the heat.
A classic artist portrait. Me, my headphones, and my controller. This is where the magic starts.
It's not just about the beats, it's about the voice too. A black and white shot of me on the mic, connecting with the crowd during a festival set.

About Behind The Decks
You see the final drop, but the real work happens at the console. Before I ever hit play, I’m deep into the setup—tuning the mixer, checking the frequencies, and layering those signature mashups. Whether it's testing a 180 BPM psy-classical blend or prepping a custom Tamashup, I treat every soundcheck like a mini-performance because the vibe starts long before the first beat drops.
Being a DJ is about more than just reading the crowd; it’s about having the technical discipline to keep the energy flow seamless. When I'm in the booth—whether it’s my residency at Avatar in Gurgaon or a headline set at a festival—the focus is entirely on the sound.
The Gear & The Grind
My setup is usually a Pioneer CDJ 2000 NXS2 or 3000 combined with a DJM 900 mixer. This isn't just hardware; it's my instrument. In this gallery, you’ll see the focus that goes into my pre-show rituals. Testing effects, lining up the next transition, and making sure the audio output hits just right is why the transitions in my sets stay tight. If you hear a troll edit like 'Pols agyi' or a heavy bass drop, know that it was crafted to keep you guessing and dancing.
My Philosophy: Genre-Blending
I don’t believe in sticking to one box. My sets are a journey, often jumping from Bollywood hits to Tech House and heavy Afro beats. You'll see in the images how I experiment—mixing 180 BPM classical music with psytrance is a typical Thursday night for me. I push these creative boundaries so your party doesn't sound like a generic playlist.
The Human Element
Music is live, and I’m always on the mic. From hyping the crowd at big events to reading the room at an intimate cocktail night, I aim to connect with every single person on that dance floor. When we bring the live percussionist or visual artist on board, that’s when the 'we bring the vibes' energy really hits its peak. If you're looking for a DJ who actually knows how to manipulate the energy of a room, you're in the right place. Let's make some noise.
