Essjay & Audiomenace: High-Energy DJ Performances
From peak-hour psytrance to deep melodic techno, I craft dancefloor journeys designed to keep the energy locked in from the first beat until the sunrise.
This is the vibe. Here's a DJ's-eye view of a packed dancefloor at Soho Delhi, going strong at 6:00 AM. I live for these moments, keeping the energy high until the very end of the night.
Sharing the console with the Brazilian future-prog master, Mandragora. Playing alongside international artists of this caliber is always an incredible experience, and the energy at Soho Delhi was pure madness.
Here's a look at my techno alias, Audiomenace, in action. This set at Klub Hermis was all about deep, driving beats, with incredible performers on stage creating a full sensory experience for the crowd.
It was an honor to be on the lineup with the legendary psytrance duo Vini Vici. This poster is from a massive night in Gurugram, sharing my sound alongside the pioneers of the scene.
Taking the beats to the mountains. This was a special Audiomenace techno set at the Galaxy Evolution festival in Manali. There's nothing like dropping tunes surrounded by the epic Himalayan landscape.
Here’s a look at a typical month for me. This calendar shows the mix of gigs I play, from psytrance nights as Essjay alongside international acts to deep techno sets as Audiomenace at skybars.
Lost in the music. This shot captures me in my element during an open-air psytrance set. It's all about connecting with the music and the crowd to create a shared experience.

About Featured
My sound is not just background noise, it is a curated flow that shifts based on your specific event requirements. Whether you need an Audiomenace techno set to transition guests from a lounge vibe to the dance floor, or a high BPM Essjay psytrance experience to close out an all-nighter, I build the set list to match your venue's acoustic profile and your crowd's energy levels.
Two Personas, One Goal
I operate under two distinct aliases because a great party requires the right progression. As Essjay, I dive into Progressive, Full-On, and Forest Psytrance. These sets are built for peak-hour energy, often climbing past 145 BPM to keep the dancefloor moving. If you are hosting a high-energy gathering or a farmhouse rave, this is the avatar that delivers the 'Holaa troopers' energy.
As Audiomenace, I switch to the darker, driving side of electronic music. We are talking Minimal, Melodic, Acid Techno, and Deep House. This persona is perfect for club nights, sundowners, or lounge settings where the vibe needs to be hypnotic and groovy (120-128 BPM) rather than blasting.
How I Handle Your Event
I have been doing this for over 9 years, so I know how to read a room. I do not just press play. I offer flexible durations, from quick warm-up sets to 6-hour marathon journeys where I transition from Deep Techno to High-Speed Psytrance.
Logistics check:
- Tech Rider: My sets require industry-standard gear (Pioneer CDJ 2000 NXS2 or 3000 series and DJM 900 mixers).
- Travel: I am based in Delhi but frequently travel for gigs in Kasol, Manali, and across India. Flights, stay, and meals for my team are handled separately for outstation bookings.
- No Commercial/Bollywood: To keep the vibe authentic to my style, I do not take commercial or Bollywood requests.
If you are planning an event, tell me the vibe you want to set. I am happy to help you structure the timing to ensure your guests walk away buzzing.
Essjay
I am Essjay, but when the techno beats take over, I go by Audiomenace. I have spent nine years behind the decks, figuring out exactly what makes a dancefloor move, whether it is a mountain rave in Parvati Valley or a packed club in Delhi. Let's make your next event a total rager.
