Old School Hip-Hop & R&B Sets
I created these nights to keep the golden era alive. If you grew up on 90s and 2000s classics, this is the vibe for your next party.

About Homie: For the Old School Fam
When I play these sets, I don't just hit shuffle. I focus on the transition between heavy 90s basslines and smooth R&B vocal hooks, building a flow that feels like a classic mixtape coming to life right on the dance floor.
The Homie nights aren't just about playing tracks. It is about recreating a feeling. I grew up with the golden era of hip-hop and R&B, and I noticed there was a gap for that specific energy in Mumbai. You won't hear commercial edits or current radio hits here. Instead, I dig deep into the crates for 90s classics, boom-bap rhythms, and those early 2000s R&B anthems that everyone knows but nobody plays anymore.
Whether I am playing solo or doing a back-to-back set with friends like Nerm at Bonobo, the focus remains on the music. I bring my own Pioneer console and spend time reading the room to ensure the vibe stays authentic. If you are looking for that specific throwback atmosphere for a private event or a club residency, let's connect. I work best when the crowd is ready to vibe, sing along, and just lose themselves in the music we love. We keep it strictly hip-hop. No distractions, just rhythm.
