Description

I began learning the art of mixing music in 2003 and I haven’t looked back since. I am also a certified Audio engineer. From 2004 I played for crowds who have always responded enthusiastically to my music. Much of my production is trance music.2005 I started working as a mobile Dj. In 2006 I played at Jeffrey’s, Chennai. I have also played in venues such as Bling in Zuri Hotel (as an in-house Dj) in 2008, Zara’s Tapas Bar in 2009, Shiro and Pebble Jungle Lounge. My kind of party is Full of Energy. I produce and perform my music using Ableton. Everything I know is out on the table, I don’t hide anything I mainly use freeware VST instruments and inbuilt Ableton effects. I don’t like to flood myself with too much choice when I am writing music, so I have a very limited amount of tools that I use. However, because of this, I know these tools inside out and can achieve the result I want very quickly.My live performance is usually a set of mixing all kinds of genres from electro to progressive trance to psychedelic. When I perform, I have all the elements of my music at my control and can mix, layer, and manipulate the music real time, making each set unique and driven by the vibe of the dance floor. Two things really drive me to make music. 1.Minimalism: I love stripping audio down to the bare bones, specificallyhow the simplicity of sound can affect someone’s emotions and feelings, and bring people together in a mass state of communion. This isn’t to say I am not inspired by other things such as nature and other artists, but I get the most pleasure and wonderment taking things that grab my attention, breaking them down into their roots and seeing what I can find. 2.Natural Sounds: Nature, the noise of the city. Putting all the noises that the world has to offer into my music and thus putting my audiences into a state of trance. I treat music as a form of communication that completely overpowers that of any other kind of human interaction. Music is my language.
