It’s definitely not all glamour—it’s mostly airport runs, late-night vinyl digging, and trying to keep the groove alive in every city I land in. Being a multi-hyphenate creative means my life is a constant mix of studio time, travel, and deep research. I started "Pushin Buttons" because I wanted to show the reality of the touring life—the long hours, the behind-the-scenes chaos, and the genuine joy of connecting with new crowds. It’s my way of bringing the groovy fam along for the ride. My sets aren’t just random tracks. I’m deep into the history of club culture and sound. You’ll often find me hunting for rare records in vinyl stores wherever I travel, from the UAE to local hidden gems in India. It’s this dedication to digging that helps me build a set that isn't just commercial top 40—it’s music with soul, history, and a bit of a story. Whether it’s reading up on music industry history or capturing candid film photos of a post-gig wind down, these miscellaneous moments ground me. It’s all part of the same vibe. If you’re a fellow music nerd or just curious about the DJ lifestyle, dive into these bits and pieces. It’s all about the hustle, the records, and the constant search for the perfect beat. ## About Nida Merchant I’m Nida, and for me, music is a 24/7 lifestyle, not just a weekend gig. Whether I'm behind the decks at a festival or digging for wax at a local record shop, I’m always chasing that next perfect sound. If you’re looking for someone who lives, breathes, and builds music with passion, you’ve found the right place.
