IVAN + 1: Collaborative DJ Nights in Bengaluru
My midweek madness where I share the decks with friends and local legends who shaped our city’s dance music scene. Come witness the community and energy we build together.
The first reaction to my new edit was fantastic. Big thanks to my brother Pawas Gupta for the brilliant mastering. Collaboration makes the music better.
Sharing a laugh with my best buddy Rohit Barker. When we get together, you know it's going to be a massive party.
On the decks with my best buddy. We always have a great time playing together and feeding off each other's energy.
Another great night with a talented guest DJ for my IVAN + 1 series. The crowd loved his set.
Posing with my super fun guest DJ for the night. IVAN + 1 is all about showcasing the best talent in the city.
With the OGs of hip hop in our city. It was an absolute vibe having them join me for IVAN + 1.
A special moment with my guest DJ. The love and respect in our community is what it's all about.
About this collection
At my weekly Happy Brew sessions, I invite friends and local legends to go back-to-back with me. We don't plan the set list; we feed off each other's energy and read the crowd in real time, making every Wednesday a completely unique, unscripted music journey.
IVAN + 1 isn't just a gig; it's a celebration of the Bengaluru dance music community. When I started this series, the idea was simple: bring the OGs, the legends, and the fresh talent together on the same stage.
Why come on a Wednesday? Because the music shouldn't stop just because it's the middle of the week. We keep it raw and unscripted. Whether it's Rohit Barker, Ankytrixx, or other masters of the scene, you never know what mix of House, R&B, or Techno you'll get until you're on the floor. It's about that connection between two DJs who respect the craft.
Technically, we’re keeping it tight on Pioneer gear, pushing boundaries with creative effects and live mixing. It’s an intimate setting where you see the banter, the handshakes, and the pure joy we feel sharing the booth. Come early, grab your spot by 9:30 PM, and be part of the madness.
