DJ Rekha

About

I bring people together with music and movement. My events are built around joy, whether it's a Basement Bhangra night or a Bollywood Disco throwback. For me, event curation is about creating a vibe that celebrates South Asian culture and the diaspora, right here in NYC and wherever the music takes us.

My Event Approach

It's never just a party. I curate inclusive spaces for everyone, mixing radical queer joy, filmi nostalgia, and real community activism. From Pride blowouts to museum galas, I want folks to feel like it’s their space.

• My curation means handpicking diverse music lineups, mixing legends with rising stars, and weaving in DJs, dancers, and bands so it never feels stale.
• I handle full-scale production - from outdoor concerts to club nights, I manage logistics, venues, and all the behind-the-scenes work that make events flow.

Community First

I work with some of NYC’s biggest cultural spots like Lincoln Center and Brooklyn Museum, and also with grassroots collectives like DRUM and SAKHI. Events are more than music - they’re a way for these groups to connect and celebrate.

Types of Events

I do South Asian cultural festival production for Diwali and Holi, block parties, queer-centric event experiences, and museum gala event production. Each one has its own energy and its own story.

Why It Matters

Basement Bhangra started as a party, but it grew into a legacy for our community. As we say - “Yaar beli ban ban toliyan, paun basement bhangre 'ch boliyan…” That’s the heartbeat I bring to every event.
