They’re about the movement, the artists I rep, and the family we’ve built on the dancefloor. Here’s a look at the people and the energy that keep hip-hop alive in the city. ## Photos and videos - [Video: I love connecting with the artists who perform at my nights.

Whether it's me on the decks and MC Bobkat holding down the mic or collaborating with a local dance crew, we create a back-and-forth flow that keeps the crowd locked into the set all night. Community is the heart of what I do. I didn't just become a DJ; I started my own nights like 'The Grind' and 'Homie' because I wanted to cultivate a space where hip-hop heads, dancers, and casual listeners could actually connect. ### Why I Bring The Crew Booking a solo DJ is one thing, but booking an interactive experience is how you make a party memorable. I frequently team up with MC Bobkat to handle live rapping and crowd hype. When we perform, it’s not just a setlist—it’s a dynamic performance. The DJ-MC dynamic allows us to read the room in real-time, switching up the energy between classic 90s hip-hop, heavy-hitting R&B, or even Dancehall segments if the crowd is feeling it. ### Collaborations and Pop-ups I don't stay in one lane. I love linking up with local talent, whether it’s a beatboxer, a street dance crew like Bombay Buck, or a trilingual rapper like Tracy De Sa. These collaborations are what define my events. If you are planning a corporate launch, a private party, or a club night in Mumbai or Pune, I can help curate a lineup that brings that authentic underground energy to your venue. ### The Logistics To make this work, I have specific requirements to ensure the sound quality stays crisp. For duo performances with an MC, we need two high-quality wireless microphones (like the Shure SM58) in addition to the standard DJ console. We aim for an environment similar to the lounge vibe at Khar Social or Bonobo, where the acoustics allow the music to hit hard without overwhelming the space. We’re here to work with you to make the sound and the flow hit exactly right for your event. ## About Ishani I’m DJ Ishani, and for the last ten years, I’ve been building a community around the music I love. When you hire me, you aren't just booking a DJ; you're bringing that 'Grind' energy and my whole crew of collaborators to your party.
