Mixing House

“I grew up writing songs, composing, chasing a feeling before I had the language for it. House music found me three years ago and gave that same instinct a new room to move in. I didn't decide to become a DJ; it happened because the craft demanded it.

A year-plus behind the decks has sharpened that instinct into something I can actually trust. I understand the energy as a dancer myself, and bring people into the vibe by being the vibe behind the decks. The connection between me and the floor is where it all comes alive.

Can't wait to see you on the dance floor soon.”

HYD · 2026

Opened for Toobris, a Berlin-based artist, on his India tour — presented by Odd Vision. I got to set the tone for the night, leaning into a groovy deep tech sound to ease the room in — rolling, hypnotic, and warm — all on a four-deck setup that gave me room to layer and stretch every transition.

HYD · 2026

A disco Saturday night, so I brought the remix energy back into my house set. It's been a while since I played tunes the crowd actually knows. I mixed them up with punchier basslines and deeper grooves and kept the whole set riding a high dance energy. I couldn't stop dancing behind the decks myself!

Playing Progressive House always puts me in a flow state — lost completely in the tracks I was spinning. Beyond grateful to open for Praveen Achari, a legend in India's progressive house scene. The production was top notch, the sound was top notch, and the vibe we curated together was top notch, indeed.

Opened for MA-SHA, an international artist from New York touring India with Hotbox. Given full freedom to showcase my sound, I spun up house music with rolling basslines and bouncy energy — the whole set captured live on YouTube.

HYD · 2026

This was the most high-energy set I've ever played. EXT Clubroom is iconic, and on a Wednesday night we packed the room out — the energy was so high, the vibes were so high, that we all just got lost in the dancing. Hands down one of my best sets.

HYD · 2026

Three months drifting across Southeast Asia and the Pacific gave me a lot to say. This set was my attempt to say it through music — vapoursoul buildups, Anjuna Deep tracks, Dosem and Ben Böhmer woven together to take the room somewhere far and bring them back changed.

THE RU EXPERIENCE

OWN CONCEPT EVENT

HYD · 2026

Our attempt at building a creative new IP from scratch. Audiences walked in to reflective cards and missions — pushing them to find strangers, ask real questions, and actually connect before ever stepping onto the floor. Then came the tech house remixes they could sing and move to together. Connection first. Music second. Both at full volume.

HYD · 2025

My first ever club debut — the What Party season finale. Over 150 people packed into the room, fully alive from start to finish. The adrenaline from that night is unlike anything I've felt before or since. I kept pushing the energy higher and the room kept coming with me.

BALI · 2026

Carried my pen drive to Bali with no expectations. The right conversations led to a set at Tequila Sunrise — the most happening club on Gili T island. Brought in heavy tech house and dance music and gave the floor exactly what it didn't know it needed.

Always wanted to play a boat party. Hopped on a back-to-back with 4dyblue and we ran the deck with melodic house and dancing rhythms all afternoon. The boat was moving in more ways than one.

The one that started everything. We transformed a café into a club for a night and I got on the decks for the very first time. That performance gave me the confidence to keep chasing stages — and I haven't stopped since.

This genre has been driving my daily lifestyle lately. It's in the way I move, the way I think, the way I show up. Too Bouncy To Be Careless is me bringing a part of that to you. Play it while you train. Play it while you run. Play it through your work hours. Play it in your room in the evening when you just want to unwind and dance a little. Let's connect through music. Let me curate an experience for you.

My USB corrupted the moment I plugged it in, right before opening for MA-SHA at KRUNK Live. Aditi pulled up, we moved everything onto her drive, and something shifted once I started playing. Bouncy basslines, UK house, tracks I'd been sitting on for ages, even a Telugu track over a UKG tune. Almost a nightmare, ended up a beautiful night.

Avi had this idea back in January. We finally made it happen months later with zero production, two cameras where one didn't even record, and issue after issue mid-set. We figured it out anyway. Ended up driving all the way to the airport on the ORR with no real plan. Sometimes the unplanned ones hit the hardest.

Bohol is an island in the Philippines — forested, quiet, reserved in the most beautiful way. While I explored it I kept wanting to share what it actually felt like to be there. This set is that conversation. Put it on and let me take you around.

Early days. I set up whatever I had on my terrace and just hit record. No studio, no setup, just music that felt like an honest expression of where I was at that point in the journey. Raw and real.

Keen to bring more vibes and curate experiences.

Let's do something together.
