Behind the Scenes: The Culture Driving My Sound

My work is rooted in sound system culture. Music is not just about the speakers or the software. It is about the people, the history, and the environment. Boxout.fm started as a way to champion alternative music in India, and the booth you see in these images is the center of that journey. Every sticker on the wood tells a story of an artist or a show that helped shape our scene.

I apply this same logic to every event. When I am at a club or a brand launch, I am not just playing files. I am reading the room and connecting genres. I avoid the standard top 40 playlists because they lack soul. Instead, I pull from my collection of dubplates, global bass, and rare vinyl. If you want a standard wedding mix, that is not me. If you want a vibe that shifts the energy and keeps people guessing, then we should talk.

I started in Delhi, grew up in Sharjah, and refined my style across Europe. That mix of influences shows up in how I work. Whether I am on the mic hosting a crowd or behind the decks blending reggae and grime, the goal is always to create a space where everyone feels welcome. No cliques, just play.
