Every interview and TEDx talk I've done helps me share the 'why' behind my sound, giving you a peek into the craft behind the disco and house grooves I bring to every set. My journey really shifted gears when I started looking at music not just as a set, but as a lifestyle. Being labeled a 'Disco Alchemist' at TEDx Mehrauli was a wild moment, but it perfectly sums up what I do. I am constantly blending my background in fashion, graphic design, and DJing to create a full sensory experience. When Harper's Bazaar names you one of the '25 in 2025' or Grazia digs into your process, it feels like a big up to the entire indie scene. It is not just about spinning tracks at a club; it is about the creative intersections. Whether I am on a panel, in a magazine, or behind the decks, I am always looking to push that multi-hyphenate vibe. I want my audience to know there is a real person, a real design process, and a whole lot of intention behind every beat. I have learned that being a multi-hyphenate means refusing to be just one thing. When I was in Manchester back in 2015, I did not know where this would lead, but that intern grind taught me everything about the scene. Fast forward to now, and whether I am designing posters for a ParaDisco night or prepping a talk, the core remains the same. I am just here to keep the energy high and the dancefloor moving. My studio time is just as important as my time on stage; being a producer allows me to sneak my own edits into sets, keeping my sound strictly mine. If you want a DJ who understands the full picture, from the visual art to the track selection, then we are going to get along just fine. ## About Nida Merchant I'm Nida. I am a DJ, producer, and a full-time multi-hyphenate who lives for the groove. I don't just spin records; I try to build an entire vibe that mixes fashion, design, and club culture into one cohesive, high-energy story.
