I blend my Marathi and Indian roots with the raw energy of modern electronic music. From spiritual mantras to Bollywood retro, these sets are built to make you feel something real while you move.

Here's a glimpse of my Techno edit of the beautiful Malayalam song "Uyiril Thodum." I love taking regional classics and giving them a new life on the electronic dance floor, all while representing in my signature saree.

It is an overwhelming and proud moment to see the crowd respect and support Indian classical music blended with Drum and Bass. Here I am dropping a national song during a club set.

A classic Bollywood retro song, "Roop Tera Mastana," reimagined as a Drum and Bass mix. It's always fun to give these timeless tracks a modern, bass-heavy twist.

Dropping my "Apsara Aali" remix for the Mumbai family. It's a joy to see the crowd's reaction when they hear a classic Marathi song transformed with electronic beats.

Flipping a beautiful Marathi devotional song, "Pundalik Warde," into a bass banger. This is an experiment in blending spirituality with heavy bass music, and the energy was incredible.

As a Maharashtrian, I feel honored to support my culture through my art. Here's a clip of me playing my DnB mix of "Jaise Jyache Karm" in my hometown.

It feels great to see people vibing to my Bollywood DnB remixes. This was a fun afternoon set where I blended classic Hindi film songs with liquid drum and bass.

The urge to blend Indian classical vibes into my DJ sets is a soul-satisfying feeling. Here I am mixing a track by Midival Punditz with a heavy bassline for the Bombay Fam.

My original track "Saajan Na Aaye" blended with a heavy Drum and Bass rhythm. This is where my heart is, fusing soulful Indian vocals with the energy of DnB.

This is my original song, "Saajan Na Aaye," featuring the blissful voice of Bhavya Pandit. It's my attempt to pour my emotions and understanding of Indian classical music into a Drum and Bass track.

About Desi Bass & BollyTech

When I perform these sets, I use Ableton to layer elements on the fly, so every track—whether it’s a Marathi classic or a Bollywood retro remix—gets a unique treatment. To make these bass-heavy fusions land perfectly at your venue, I require a 45-minute sound check. If you’re looking for a set that feels less like a shuffled playlist and more like a conversation between my roots and your crowd, let’s chat.
