Festival & Headline Gigs: Disco and House Energy
From massive festival stages to high-octane brand events, I bring the disco and house vibes that make crowds move. Let's create a set that defines the night.
The energy at a Boiler Room show is unmatched. Having the crowd right there with you, feeling every beat, creates an intense and unforgettable connection.

A different angle of the insane Red Bull setup. DJing underneath a suspended Formula 1 car is definitely a career highlight and shows how creative brand events can be.
My name in lights at the Homegrown Festival. I had the amazing opportunity to curate my own disco and house stage at this festival, which was a huge moment for me.
The stage setup at the Indian Sneaker Festival was wild. I love playing at events that merge different subcultures like fashion, sneakers, and music.

Another video moment from the Red Bull gig. The combination of intense red and blue lights with my house and disco set created a powerful, immersive atmosphere.
It's me! Pointing to my name on the artist board at the Red Bull event. It's always a surreal and grateful moment to be part of such a huge production.
Having some fun in a caged photo booth at the H&M x Lollapalooza show. These events are always a great mix of music, fashion, and interactive experiences.

About Festival & Headline Gigs
When I am on a festival stage, the prep is next-level. I am not just showing up with a USB; I am coordinating with your technical crew on rider specs, soundcheck timing, and visual syncs to make sure the set hits exactly as intended. If you are booking a festival or large-scale brand gig, expect a tight, professional run-of-show that leaves zero room for errors.
Playing major stages like Boiler Room and Lollapalooza India has taught me that the music is only half the work. The rest is about the production, the timing, and understanding the energy of thousands of people at once. Whether I am curating a stage at the Homegrown Festival or spinning a set under a suspended Formula 1 car for Red Bull Unforeseen, I focus on the details that make the show memorable.
My Approach to Festivals
- Technical Precision: My riders are specific because the sound quality matters. I work closely with your sound engineers to ensure the CDJs, mixer setup, and monitoring are dialed in during the dedicated soundcheck, which I require at least 2 hours prior to the show.
- Visual & Brand Sync: For brand activations like H&M or Red Bull, I integrate your aesthetic into my look and performance. If the gig has a specific theme, I ensure my set and stage presence align with the creative direction, from the tracklist to the visual backdrop.
- Stage Curation: Beyond just playing my set, I can help with overall musical direction. I have experience curating entire stages, selecting supporting acts, and building a flow that keeps the energy high from the first track to the last.
What I Need from You
To keep things running smoothly, please ensure your technical rider requirements align with industry standards (typically Pioneer CDJ 3000s and DJM 900 mixers). If there are specific visual requirements or B2B collaborations, let us discuss those during the initial booking phase so we can coordinate the logistics. Let's get the party started.
