Meet DJ Percy: Mumbai's Open-Format Music Specialist
From old-school vinyl to modern console setups, this is the story behind the music and the man holding the mic. Here is how I blend retro classics and modern beats for Mumbai dance floors.
Holding a classic vinyl record. My love for music goes way back, from old-school records to today's digital beats. This deep appreciation for all genres of music is what allows me to be an open-format DJ who can cater to any crowd.
A throwback to my early days in the industry. I've been passionate about music and performing for as long as I can remember. This journey since 2003 has been incredible, and I bring all those years of experience to every single gig.

A little behind the scenes look at my personal style. Here I am unboxing a custom-made Freddie Mercury jacket. Music and fashion go hand in hand, and I love collaborating with brands that share my passion for creativity and detail.
About The Man Behind the Music
I don't just drop a pre-mixed track and walk away. I spend time before your event learning your family’s favorite songs or your company’s vibe, then I mix those live on a professional Pioneer console. You get a clean, wire-free setup that fits your venue, ensuring the sound stays crisp whether you are hosting a Sangeet or a corporate bash.
My journey started back in 2003, long before digital controllers became the norm. Growing up in Mumbai with my Parsi legacy, I developed what I call my 'sound soup'—a blend of everything from Persian prayers to the massive, high-energy Bollywood tracks that make a Mumbai wedding.
The 'Sound Soup' Approach
I am an open-format DJ, which means I don't stick to just one genre. I read the room. If the crowd needs a throwback to 'Jawani Jaaneman' or the latest Amapiano mix to keep the energy up, I know exactly when to pivot. This adaptability is how I keep the dance floor packed for six hours straight at a wedding or drive energy for a corporate event.
The Setup
It is not just about the music; it is about how it sounds. I perform using a professional Pioneer Nexus setup with MacBook Pro integration to ensure high-fidelity sound. For Sangeets, I handle the cue management for your entries and performances, coordinating with your live musicians or Dhol players so the transition is smooth. My goal is simple: kal raat aag lag gayi thi (last night was fire). Whether you need formal attire for a corporate gala or something sharp for a Sangeet, I ensure the presentation matches the vibe of your event.
