Real Hip-Hop DJ Sets: Live Highlights & Vibe Check
This is where the magic happens. I live for these nights where the crowd becomes family and the music hits different. Check out the energy from my latest sets.
This is the vibe every single night. It's not just a party, it's a family of hip-hop lovers coming together. The energy from the crowd is everything.
I started 'Homie' because I missed the real old school hip-hop and R&B I grew up on. This is me explaining what it's all about: pure nostalgia and good vibes for the 90s kids.
Me and the incredible poet and MC Aranya Johar sharing the stage at The Grind. I love bringing in guest artists to keep the energy fresh and celebrate the culture.
Locked in. This is my zone, where I connect with the music and the crowd. Just me, the decks, and the bangers.
It's all about the community. Here I am chopping it up with the krump collective Bombay Buck after their fire performance at The Grind. This is what it means to be family.
A sea of hands in the air at Khar Social. When the beat drops, the whole place gets lit. This is the energy you can expect at The Grind.
Taking the vibe on the road. This is from a packed night in Pune at The High Spirits. The love for real hip-hop is everywhere.
About this collection
When I’m on the decks, it’s all about keeping that 90s and 00s hip-hop spirit alive. I don't play commercial Bollywood or EDM tracks, so you get a pure, underground club experience. If you’re looking to bring that raw, high-energy vibe I cultivate at spots like Khar Social and Bonobo to your own event, we need to chat about the technicals—like getting that Pioneer CDJ setup locked in.
I built my nights—The Grind and Homie—to be more than just parties; they are communities. My sound is non-negotiable: 90s/00s Hip-Hop, R&B, and Afro beats. When you book me, you’re not just getting a playlist; you’re getting the atmosphere.
Why the Vibe Matters
I don't do background music. I do interactive sets where the floor shakes and the crowd gets involved. I’ve collaborated with krump collectives like Bombay Buck and artists like Aranya Johar because those connections drive the energy higher and keep the culture fresh.
Technical Realities
To pull off that seamless flow, I stick to industry-standard gear. For my solo sets, I require a Pioneer CDJ 2000 NXS2 or 3000 setup. For bigger shows, I offer packages that include my partner, MC Bobkat, for live rapping and hype management. This setup turns a standard party into a high-energy mini-concert. Whether it’s an underground club night in Mumbai or a festival stage in Pune, my focus stays on the rhythm, the flow, and the community. If your event needs that authentic street-culture sound without the filler, let’s make it happen.
Ishani
I started DJing because I missed the real stuff I grew up with. It’s not just about spinning tracks for me; it’s about creating a space where everyone feels like family, whether it’s a tight club or a festival stage.
