Sharing the Console with International and Local Legends
From packed Delhi clubs to mountain raves in Kasol, here is a look at the journey and the artists I've shared the stage with over the last nine years.
A moment with the legend himself, Ajja. Standing next to a pioneer who has shaped the psychedelic trance scene is always a humbling and inspiring experience.
Another great night with Brazilian hitech sensation Henrique Camacho. Had a blast closing the night for him at Soho Delhi after his high-energy set.
A 6:30 AM selfie with the hitech queen from Spain, Psynonima, after a wild night in Delhi. It was a mad session of fast-paced, powerful music.
A collage celebrating 7 years of my journey as a DJ. It features moments with some of the amazing artists I've shared the stage with, including Space Buddha, Vini Vici, and many more.
A photo with a fellow DJ. The electronic music scene is a community, and connecting with other artists who share the same passion is one of the best parts of the job.
A quick clip from my first gig in Goa. The crowd was amazing, and it was a special moment to bring my sound to the place where it all began for trance in India.
Had a blast playing at the beach-side venue Chizzale in Anjuna, Goa. This clip captures the vibe of my Audiomenace techno set on a beautiful Tuesday night.
A moody shot of me at the decks, deep in concentration during a set in Goa. The blue light and intense focus capture the atmosphere of a late-night session.
The view from my console at Chizzale, Goa. Seeing a packed dancefloor moving to my music against a beachside backdrop is an unforgettable feeling.
Another perspective from the DJ booth in Goa. It's all about reading the crowd and taking them on a journey, one track at a time.
About The Crew: With International & Local Legends
When I play alongside international artists like Ajja or Henrique Camacho, it is not just about spinning tracks. It is about matching that high-octane energy and making sure the transition from their set to mine keeps the dancefloor locked in. Whether I am closing a night at Soho or playing an open-air rave, I focus on keeping the madness going without a single lull.
It has been nine years since I first stepped up to the console, and my journey has been defined by the people I have shared the stage with. From psytrance veterans like Space Buddha to the hitech energy of Psynonima, these moments are what shaped my sound today.
Being part of the lineup with these icons taught me the real craft of electronic music. You are not just there to play your set. You are part of a larger, high-intensity flow. You have to read the crowd, respect the technical requirements of the gear—like using the Pioneer CDJ 2000 NXS2 setups—and understand exactly when to ramp up the BPM to 145 or when to drop into a deep, melodic techno groove.
My community, the psyfam and technofam, is everything. Whether we are in a packed club in Delhi, on a beach in Anjuna, or under the mountains in Kasol, the goal stays the same: connecting with the crowd. I am not here to just show up and press play. I am here to build the energy, share the stage with my peers, and make sure that when the lights go up, everyone is still buzzing.
