Seeing the energy behind the console is one thing, but feeling it on the dance floor is where the magic happens. Here is a look at my setup and live flow.

A few moments captured from my DJ console during PIDC Season 12. You can see me getting into the groove, cueing up the next track, and even grabbing the Guiro to play along.

Focused and feeling the flow at the Goa International Dance Congress. Finding that perfect track to keep the energy high is what it's all about.

Here I am with my Guiro at the Kolkata Salsa Weekend. Adding live percussion to my DJ sets is one of my favorite ways to interact with the music and the dancers.

Holding the tools of the trade. This Guiro and scraper come with me to every gig, ready to add that live, authentic Afro-Latin sound.

A smile for the camera between tracks at GIDC. I genuinely love what I do, and I think it shows.

About Behind the Decks

It is not just about mixing tracks for me. You will often see me grabbing my Guiro or cowbell to add live percussion on top of the rhythm. This helps me bridge the gap between a recorded track and the live energy of dancers on the floor, keeping the groove authentic to the roots of Salsa and Bachata.
