About this collection
Behind every drop, there’s hours of studio time blending Bollywood vocals with dark techno beats. When you're planning your event, knowing the difference between a standard audio set and a full AV experience—where we sync custom 4K visuals to the music—is the first decision you'll need to make.
My process is simple: I don't just play songs; I remix them into something entirely new. Whether it's blending a classic Yo Yo Honey Singh track with a heavy Afro-House beat or flipping an SRK melody into a Bolly-Techno anthem, my goal is to keep the dance floor moving.
The Studio Setup
When I'm not on stage at a club or festival in Bangalore, I'm at my home console. You'll find me working on Pioneer CDJ 2000NXS2 or 3000s, obsessing over the timing of every beat. This is where I create the unreleased mashups that never make it to Spotify, only to my live sets.
Audio-Visual Experience
I define my work as 'AV DJing.' This means I don't just bring a console; I bring a visual narrative. For events like Sangeets or weddings, I integrate 4K visuals, custom motion graphics, and even your specific event branding (like your wedding hashtag or corporate logo) directly into the sync.
A few things to know for your event:
- Sound System: I bring the console, but the venue needs to provide the PA system (speakers and subs).
- Visuals: If you book the AV package, ensure your venue has an LED wall or high-quality projector. I handle the signal flow; you provide the canvas.
- Genre Flexibility: While Bolly-Tech is my signature, I adapt. If you need a specific mix for a theme, just ask.
Baaki baatein... drop ke baad.
