Festival & Concert DJ Sets
I love the rush of playing for a massive crowd. From opening for international acts at The Lalit Ashok to high-intensity festival slots across Bengaluru, I bring the energy, the sound, and the visuals to keep the dance floor moving.
It was an honor to be part of the lineup for the Shanti People live show in Bengaluru. Playing at a classy venue like XU at Leela Palace for such a big act was an amazing experience.
Another massive show with Shanti People, this time at The Lalit Ashok. These spiritual EDM trance events draw huge crowds, and the atmosphere is always incredible.
I had the opportunity to open for international artist Vermont during his first show in India. This was a huge night for Trance music lovers in Bengaluru at The Lalit Ashok.
For the Techno heads, here's a flyer from "Code Red" at Kitty Ko. I love switching gears and diving into the underground sounds of Techno and Tech House.
Catching up with my fellow DJ brothers at the High Ultra Music Festival. Being part of the city's vibrant hip-hop and electronic music scene is a blessing.
About Festival & Concert Stages
When I step onto a festival stage, the preparation goes far beyond just a playlist. I insist on a mandatory 45-minute technical sound check before the event begins, ensuring every bass drop hits perfectly on your sound system. I also bring custom DJ logo loops for your LED walls, so the stage production matches the energy of the music.
Playing on big stages is a different beast compared to club sets. It is not just about keeping the rhythm going; it is about filling the space and building that connection with thousands of people at once. Whether I am supporting international artists like Shanti People or Vermont at venues like The Lalit Ashok and XU, my priority is the technical precision required for large-scale sound rigs.
My approach to festival sets is rooted in versatility. I pivot between genres based on the crowd, moving from high-octane Techno and Trance to heavy-hitting Bollywood remixes that get the whole place singing. Because these events often require precise synchronization, I coordinate closely with your production team on run-of-show details, countdowns, and light cues.
I come prepared with professional-grade gear, including my own headphones and backup laptop, but I adhere strictly to standard rider requirements to ensure seamless artist changeovers. If you are planning a concert or a festival in Bengaluru and need someone who can handle the pressure of a big stage while keeping the vibe positive and high, let's talk.
