Behind the Scenes of My Music Journey
A look into the process, the road, and the studio sessions behind my sound. These snippets capture the vibe of digging for new music and the community that drives it.
A polaroid from a studio session. Holding up a sign for my crew NDCR, this is a snapshot of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into building a community and brand.
Holding up a 'Time Is Now' vinyl before a set. I'm always digging for new records and dubs to bring to my shows, keeping the selection fresh and exciting.
A cup of chai on the decks. A perfect summary of my vibe, blending my Indian roots with the tools of the global music scene. This was during a set in London.
A press shot from a gig in Hyderabad. The green lighting captures the moody, bass-heavy atmosphere I often curate for my club nights.
Another portrait from a photoshoot. A good part of being an artist and curator is building a visual identity that matches the sound.
Snippets from my 'In The Mix' set at the VegNonVeg store. Curating music for a retail space is a unique challenge, requiring a mix of afro, lofi house, and UK rap to create a cool, laid-back vibe.
Taking a chai break during my in-store set. It's important to stay hydrated and keep the energy up, even during a more chilled session.
Having a good time with the crowd at VegNonVeg. Even in a non-club setting, it's all about connecting with people through the music.
Interacting with the shoppers and friends during my set. Music can transform any space, and I love the challenge of curating the right sound for any environment.

About More Moments & Mixes
People see the set on the night, but the real work happens in the hours spent digging through records and prepping dubs. Whether I am sound-testing for a retail launch or dialing in the bass at a club, the goal is always to create a sonic identity that fits the room. It is about more than just playing tracks; it is about knowing how to hold a room’s energy.
My process is not about playing the hits. It is about building a story. When I work on a project, whether it is an intimate retail setup or a full-blown club night, I start with the atmosphere. I look at the space, the crowd, and the energy, then I pick sounds that make sense for that specific moment. That means blending UK garage, amapiano, and jungle with the desi textures that feel like home to me.
I handle the technical side as well, working directly with engineers to make sure the bass hits how it should. From the visual branding of a mix to the timing of a transition, I approach every gig as a complete audio-visual project. If you are tired of generic playlists and want a sound that actually connects with people, that is where I come in. I am always open to projects that require a unique ear and a proper grasp of how to move a dancefloor.

I am Vibhu, known as Kalbaisakhi. I have spent years obsessing over how to mix the Indian rhythms I grew up with against the garage and bass music I discovered in London. If you need someone to help design a musical vibe that feels human, raw, and actually moves a room, let's talk.
