High-Energy Festival DJ Sets and Event Sound Design
Welcome to the dance floor. Whether it's a massive festival stage or an intimate private celebration, I bring the beats that connect our community. Let’s turn your event into a proper celebration with the sounds of Basement Bhangra and Bollywood Disco.
This is the moment it’s all for. Connecting with a massive crowd, feeling the shared energy under the lights. I live for bringing thousands of people together on the dance floor at big festival stages like this one.
Basement Bhangra is more than a party, it's a full-blown experience. This video captures the vibe with live dhol players, saxophonists, and a crowd that brings incredible energy, showing how we blend traditional Punjabi sounds with a global NYC party feel.
The joy on the dance floor is everything. This shot from my Bollywood Disco party captures that moment of pure release and connection that I strive to create, where everyone feels free to let go and celebrate together.
Behind the decks is my home. Here I am on the mic, hyping the crowd and mixing tracks at The Sultan Room. It's not just about playing music; it's about hosting the party and making sure everyone feels the vibe.
My Bollywood Disco parties are a space for everyone, and the Proud Edition is especially close to my heart. This flyer shows how I create themed nights that celebrate our queer and South Asian communities with filmi classics and eclectic disco grooves.
My events often feature incredible live performers. Here's the legendary Malkit Singh, the King of Bhangra, electrifying the SummerStage crowd. I love curating shows that bring together iconic artists and new talent.
Community is at the core of what I do. Sharing the stage and a smile with fellow artists is a huge part of the experience. It’s all about collaboration and uplifting the talented people in our circle.
A quiet moment of focus before the beat drops. This captures the artist side of my work, the thought and preparation that goes into curating the perfect sound for each unique crowd and venue.
About Featured
When you book me for these high-energy sets, you are not just hiring a DJ; you are securing a professional sound experience. Because my sets rely on exclusive NYC edits and seamless mixing, I require industry-standard Pioneer CDJ and mixer setups at your venue to ensure the bass hits right and the energy never drops.
This featured collection highlights the scale and diversity of the events I build. From headlining main stages at SummerStage and Lincoln Center to intimate Brooklyn club nights, my approach remains the same: music that brings people together. I do not just play tracks; I design an atmosphere.
The Cultural Pulse
My work is rooted in South Asian diasporic dance music. You will hear Bhangra, retro Bollywood, hip-hop, and global club sounds. I dig for deep cuts, pulling from decades of filmi history to keep the dance floor moving. Whether it is a gala, a festival, or a private party, I focus on inclusive energy where everyone feels welcome to be themselves.
Production & Technicals
I bring more than just a playlist. I engage with the crowd on the mic, hype up the room, and coordinate with live performers like dhol players or drag artists if the event calls for it. My technical requirements ensure that the audio quality matches the intensity of the performance. If you are planning a themed night, a wedding sangeet, or a corporate function, I work with you to integrate brand anthems or specific thematic requests, ensuring the music direction aligns with your vision.
Community Legacy
I am not just playing for the moment; I am building on a legacy of community nightlife in New York. When you hire me, you are tapping into a scene that values authenticity, history, and the power of the dance floor to create change. Let's make your next event a memorable chapter in that story.
