Afro-Latin DJ for Dance Festivals and Social Nights
I’m DJ Jude. I don’t just play tracks, I live the music. Whether it’s a festival stage or an intimate social, I bring the Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba beat to keep the dance floor alive.
This is the vibe I live for. A packed dance floor at the Vamos Goa International festival, with everyone just lost in the music. This is what happens when the right Afro-Latin beats hit.
In the zone at the Kolkata Salsa Weekend. When I'm behind the decks, my focus is on the dancers and the energy of the room. I'm not just playing songs; I'm building a journey for the dance floor.
What an absolute honor to share a dance with the Salsa Queen, Bersy Cortez, at the Pune International Dance Congress. As a dancer myself, moments like these are pure magic.
It's not just about the laptop. I love adding live percussion to my DJ sets with the Guiro, bringing an extra layer of authentic Latin rhythm to the party, like here at the Kolkata Salsa Weekend.
A glimpse into my regular Salsa-Bachata social at Khar Social in Mumbai. This is our community, our weekly party, and it's always full of energy and happy faces.
Looking for a DJ to bring tropical vibes to your event? I specialize in creating custom Afro-Latin playlists for private parties, socials, and themed nights like this "Groovy Tropical Night."
A beautiful, spontaneous Salsa On2 dance by the water. For me, social dancing is about connecting with your partner and the music, no matter where you are.
About Featured
When I’m behind the console, I’m not just hitting play. I keep a close eye on the floor to match the energy of the dancers. I always bring my Guiro along to add live percussion to my sets, which helps ground the rhythm for Salsa and Bachata dancers, especially when the crowd needs that extra spark to keep moving.
I’ve been obsessed with Afro-Latin rhythms since I started DJing in 2020. My goal is simple: to make sure the music feels as good as it sounds. Whether you’re a seasoned 'On 2' dancer or just starting out, my sets are curated to keep the groove flowing. I travel all over Mumbai, Pune, and Thane to bring the authentic sounds of Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba to everything from intimate studio parties to large-scale festival stages.
What to expect at your event
- Live Percussion: I don’t hide behind a laptop. I often layer in live Guiro or cowbell, giving the track a raw, percussive feel that really resonates in a live setting.
- Tailored Sets: I don't do generic commercial hits. My library is strictly Afro-Latin, carefully selected to keep the energy consistent for social dancing.
- Dance-First Approach: Because I’m a dancer first, I understand the phrasing and musicality required for partner work. I know exactly when to drop a track that encourages a long, fluid connection on the floor.
I’ve been fortunate to play at major events like GIDC, PIDC, and Vamos Goa. If you're planning a private event, I also handle emceeing and lead simple line-dancing animations to help break the ice with guests who aren't familiar with Latin dance. Let’s talk about your playlist and the specific vibe you want to set.
