Featured Techno Production & Professional DJ Sets
A look into my studio workflow, live performance setup, and the gear that defines my sound. This is where analog warmth meets digital precision.
This is where the magic happens. Here I am in the zone, jamming live with the Pioneer Toraiz SP-16 sampler during a set. I don't just play tracks; I deconstruct and rebuild them, adding my own percussion and textures to create a unique live experience. This is how I bring studio production techniques to the DJ booth.
A shot from my set at Gylt Bangalore for Soul Cast. For me, a great night is about the connection between the music and the dancefloor. I'm using a combination of CDJs and my Native Instruments Maschine MK3 here to layer loops and effects, keeping the energy dynamic and engaging for the crowd.
I believe the tools you use define your sound. I traveled to Chennai specifically to pick up the first Cranborne Audio HE2 in India. This is a fully analog harmonic EQ with digital control, which gives me the warmth of classic hardware with the precision of a plugin. It's a game-changer for my mixing and mastering workflow.
This is the artwork for my "Acid In Us EP," a collaboration with Prematron. This release represents my core sound: raw, hard-hitting, and hypnotic acid techno designed for the dancefloor. If you want to understand my production style, this is a great place to start.
Unboxing the first AlphaTheta Euphonia rotary mixer in the country. This mixer is special because it features a custom transformer designed by Rupert Neve Designs, which adds incredible warmth and character to the sound. It's this commitment to audio quality that I bring to every project I work on.
My critical listening setup. The Audeze MM-500 planar magnetic headphones, powered by a clean Lake People G103 MKII amp, are my tools for surgical mixing. They are brutally honest and reveal every flaw, ensuring that a mix translates perfectly everywhere, from a club system to earbuds.
Music is also about community. This is a look at my Trifecta project, where we focus on highlighting homegrown talent and pushing the boundaries of live sound. Here, we collaborated with Atomik Audio to bring a custom-designed sound system to our event, ensuring the best possible audio experience.
About this collection
Every track I produce and every set I play is built on a hybrid foundation. I combine analog hardware, like my Cranborne Audio HE2 EQ or AlphaTheta rotary mixer, with digital precision to ensure the music hits with physical impact. Whether I am mastering a mix for club systems or building a techno track from scratch, I focus on sonic clarity and keeping the energy raw.
My Studio Philosophy
My studio is a workspace where analog warmth meets digital precision. I don't believe in presets or automated fixes. I use a hybrid signal chain to process audio, running tracks through the Cranborne Audio HE2 Harmonic EQ to get that specific analog saturation. For critical listening, I rely on Audeze MM-500 planar magnetic headphones, which are brutally honest and help me identify masking issues or harsh frequencies that consumer gear often hides.
Production & Mastering
I treat every project as a piece of engineering. When mixing, I manage frequencies to ensure kick and bass clarity, which is non-negotiable for club techno. My mastering process involves multi-band compression to hit competitive loudness targets without losing punch or stereo image. If you are a producer, I provide full stem mixing and hybrid mastering services that translate across club systems and home listening setups.
Live Performance & Community
Beyond the studio, I perform live sets using hardware like the Pioneer Toraiz SP-16 sampler. I prefer deconstructing tracks on the fly rather than just playing pre-mixed files, as it allows me to layer percussion and textures that make each performance unique. Through projects like Trifecta and The Foundation, I work to spotlight local talent and push for higher technical standards in Indian electronic music events, often collaborating with custom sound designers like Atomik Audio.
