It comes down to the live element because I do not just hit play. Using Ableton Live and my Akai controller, I layer Indian classical vocals and Marathi folk snippets over the beats while I am mixing. It keeps the energy unpredictable and rooted in my sound, so if you book me, just know I need a 45-minute sound check to get that live rig dialed in perfectly for your venue. Drum and Bass is my lifeblood. When you book a set in this category, you are getting more than a playlist, you are getting a technical performance. I bridge the gap between heavy, clinical bass music and my heritage, incorporating sitar and tabla elements that I have produced myself. My journey has taken me from underground clubs like Khar Social and antiSOCIAL in Pune to festivals like NH7 Weekender. Whether I am playing Liquid rollers or intense Neurofunk, the goal is always to keep the crowd moving while staying true to the culture. I have spent 17 years in this game, and I have learned that the best nights are when the DJ and the dancefloor are in a constant conversation. Technically, I bring a unique hybrid approach to the stage. I combine standard DJing with live production via Ableton, which means every set is adapted to the specific energy of your room. This setup requires a bit of extra coordination, like a dedicated console table and a proper sound check, but it is the only way to deliver the sonic depth that defines my work. I have played alongside legends like Midival Punditz and have shared the stage with artists like IMANU, so I know exactly what it takes to hold the floor at venues like Kitty Su. If you are looking for a performance that hits deep and feels real, let us connect. ## About Smokey I am a music producer, DJ, and an unapologetic dnbnaari. My sets are my offering, a fusion of my Maharashtrian roots and the high-octane world of Drum & Bass. I have spent 17 years finding this sound, and I bring that same dedication to every single show.
