About Specialty Hip-Hop Nights
Why I Do This
If you know me, you know it's always about hip-hop. I got tired of not hearing the real stuff, so I started my own nights to bring the community together. Hip Hop Ain't Dead – that's what I believe, and that's the energy I want at every party.
What My Nights Are About
I host specialty hip-hop DJ nights in Mumbai and sometimes Pune, each with its own flavor:
- The Grind: This one's all modern and classic hip-hop, with a packed dancefloor and regular guest artists. I love throwing in Dancehall and Afro beats night vibes late into the set.
- Homie: If you want pure nostalgia, this is the old school hip-hop party for you. All those R&B tunes you miss, plus tracks you won't hear anywhere else.
- On The Road: I pop up at underground hip-hop events and collabs, like Hip Hop Fridaze and Pride Month specials. I like switching things up and keeping it fresh.
What You Get
- No one gets lost in the crowd. I want you vibing, showing off your moves, feeling like family.
- It's not just another party in the Mumbai hip-hop scene – it's a spot for real connection.
- Sometimes the venue gets packed, sometimes it's more chill. Either way, the energy is always mad real.
Shoutout To My People
Every person who comes through means everything to me. When you jam with me, it's next level. The support, the moves, the love – that's what keeps me doing this.

My Story
Yo, I’m DJ Ishani. Grew up loving those 80s, 90s, early 2000s hip-hop and R&B tracks, the real party anthems. Couldn’t find that vibe anywhere, so I started ‘Homie’—my own throwback party. On stage, people call me a superthug, sometimes a superstar, but trust, I’m just out here feeling the music (and sneaking in some Arabic jams, shhh). Nothing beats a crowd vibing together. That’s the magic for me.
My Work
DJ for Parties, Clubs, Festivals & Corporate Events - I play everywhere—clubs, music festivals, private gigs, office parties. Always high energy, always interactive.
Old School Hip-Hop & R&B Specialist - If you want that 90s R&B party or old school hip-hop DJ, I’m your plug. My ‘Homie’ nights are all about those classics.
Crowd Vibes & Interactive Sets - My thing? Getting everyone moving. We groove, we jump, we vibe till the floor shakes. Interactive club DJ style, always a banger.
The Grind Hip-Hop Event - I run ‘The Grind’ too—hip-hop all day, new and old. Rain or shine, the party’s on.
