This is my office. See how I read the crowd, sync with my VJ, and build the energy that keeps the dance floor packed all night.

A moment of calm before the storm. A smile for the camera, but my mind is on the music and the crowd. Forever grateful to be doing what I love.

Locked in. This is me completely focused on the mix, making sure every transition is seamless and every beat hits right. The music does the talking.

The energy is building. In this moment, I'm signaling to the crowd, getting them ready for the drop. It's all about that interaction.

Peace and good vibes from the DJ booth. A quick pose for the camera while keeping the party going at Hammerzz.

In the zone at Club Iguana. The background visuals and the blue lighting create a cool, focused atmosphere while I line up the next track.

A happy moment behind the decks at Glitte. When the crowd is vibing and the music is flowing, there's no better feeling.

On the mic, talking to the crowd. I believe a DJ should be more than a music player; I'm a host, an MC, and the life of the party.

Lost in the music. This is a candid moment of me on the mic, feeling the track and sharing that emotion with everyone on the dance floor.

Focused and working in sync with my VJ. We work as a team to ensure the visuals on the screen match the energy of my music perfectly.

About Behind the Decks

Being a DJ is about more than just hitting play. When you look at my booth, you’ll see the focus—syncing with my VJ, reading the room, and managing the transitions between Bolly-Afro mashups and high-energy Tech House. It is a constant, two-way interaction, not just a pre-planned set list.

I'm Pratik, but on stage, I'm Shome. I live for that moment when the bass kicks in and the crowd loses their minds, whether it’s a packed nightclub or a wedding floor. My style is about blending raw Indian energy with global beats, and I bring that same intense focus to every single set I play.
