ARTIST BIO :

Hailing from a war-ridden nation that put me in the spotlight when it came to racism against minorities, moving out was a ray of light. But, things weren't all that different. In any part of the world, the one thing that seemed to flare up in communities was inequality. Except when it comes to music. When people of different cultures and nations come together to listen to their favorite music or jam, they forget where they belong in society. They ignore the heirachy. And act as one, one whole being that listens to the sounds and the tremors, nothing else. This is where I found my haven. Music united us, no holding back. No restrictions.

With both positive and negative experiences garnered from my base, I captured a soothing blend of layered music that has varied textures to take you on a modern yet soulful journey. Existing in a parallel world where no social constraints exist, for the time being, the sweet melancholic music expands the listener's horizon. This is my holy grail to rejuvenation.

The blend of rich and lush yet laidback sounds I create/listen to guides me from the darkest of places and helps me see the light. Even on the gloomiest of days, I find solace. By putting it out there for the world to hear, I hope it helps others as it did me. Peace out.

ARTIST BIO :

Throughout her teens, tonkatsukitty battled between wanting to dance and wanting to make
others dance. She eventually surrendered to the dancefloor until she realised it was very much possible to do both.
Ever since, she's been on a journey to take revenge on those who never let her keep the aux.
A budding DJ with way too many "favourite genres", she often resorts to a deeply comforting zone of deep, dreamy but always uplifting sounds - be it house, disco, trance, breaks, DnB, progressive rock or metal. 
All she aspires to do is make people feel music the way she always has and maybe just cry a little in the club.
 
Mood behind the mix:
Channelled Bangalore’s grey skies and turned it into this assortment of tracks that cover house, deep house, minimal tech and just a sprinkling of breaks. 
Ideal for that solo bedroom dance sesh or a cosy gathering in someone’s crowded living room.

ARTIST BIO :

Every story has a beginning and Roan Sable’s story began behind a DJ booth at the age of 15. He wasn't headlining. He wasn't an artist yet. He wasn't even supposed to be there. Having been snuck into the party by an older cousin, he found himself lost in the music and not the crowd.
About a decade and a full circle later, Roan’s back in the same spot, except tables have turned. Armed with an education in Sound Engineering from SAE, now an established DJ/Producer who has been heavily active in the Indian underground music scene since 2014.
Roan Sable's is heavily influenced by artists like Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Apollonia, Marco Carola and The Martinez Brothers. Comfortably navigating both day time open air gigs with funky old school house/disco to more intense night time club/warehouse gigs with the deeper/darker shades of house music, he is focused on locking the crowd in his groove.
In 2022, along with long time collaborator 'Obscure', he launched 'House Arrest', a concept night that focuses on promoting House + Disco music in India.

ARTIST BIO :

What do people recognise me for? - For probably being the shortest female DJ in Bangalore, but people often forget good things come in small packages. Most people often undermine me at first because of how small I am, but once they see me hopping around like an energizer bunny behind the decks, they change their minds. I think it's super important for a DJ to have fun while playing their sets - most of my favourite producers like the Shapeshifters use something called a 'dance test' where they gauge how dance-able their track is before putting it out into the world - it's quite simple, if it doesn't make you move, it's not ready to be released. One of the many goals of dance music, among many others, is to evoke emotion and for me that's most often joy. My simple goal in playing music is to spread this joy and I do hope others feel that while listening to this mix :)

SET DESCRIPTION : 

This mix kicks off with funky grooves, but don’t get too comfortable because it quickly becomes a game of hop, skip, and jump between my favorite genres. The goal? To keep you on your toes, guessing what’s coming next. A little bit of that "never let them know your next move" magic, maybe?

ARTIST BIO :

Never afraid to go too deep, YumVee (a.k.a Akhil M V) triggers a joyous feedback loop that infects thedancefloor. Having grown up on a combination of funk, electronica and synth-infused 80s music, along with a deep love for psychedelia, YumVee ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence.

Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all pieces of music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks; all on top of pronounced foot-shuffling house & disco beats. He loves to take the partygoers through a rollercoaster of emotions, via an electrifying dancefloor journey of exciting peaks and deep, cerebral lows.

ARTIST BIO : 

Stalvart John stands as a transformative force in India’s dance music scene, revered for infusing thecountry's dancefloors with vibrant rhythms of afro, funk, soul, and jazz-inspired house and disco. A DJ,producer, radio host, and the visionary founder of Dynamite Disco Club, Stalvart has dedicated his career to balancing entertainment, experimentation, and the introduction of fresh sounds both on stage and in the studio.

Originally from Kerala, he built his early reputation by taking on residencies across the region, spinning at local nightlife spots, and presenting podcasts and shows on internet radio—laying foundations for a blossoming music culture. His move to Bangalore in 2014 marked a turning point: Stalvart began to craft a unique identity rooted in the deeper, groove-based sounds of global house and disco. Through uncompromising DJ sets, radio shows, and podcasts, he steadily carved out a niche, championing expressive and community-driven music.

In 2017, Stalvart launched Dynamite Disco Club as a radio show on boxout.fm. What began as a passion project rapidly evolved into one of India’s most respected dance music platforms. Today, DDC operates as a label, event series, and mentorship ecosystem, nurturing over 20 artists, releasing more than 50 records, and hosting upwards of 110 shows across headline club nights, festival takeovers, and international showcases. DDC’s programming has included the Cosmic Disco Bar at Magnetic Fields Festival, Bacardi’s Rum Room at NH7 Weekender, and innovative showcases at festivals like SAUCE India and Gin Explorer’s Club.

A frontrunner of the country’s modern house and disco movement, Stalvart’s musical storytelling—whether through DJ sets or original productions—has found a home on labels such as Get Physical Music, Wind Horse Records, Hot Elephant Music, Springbok Records, Club Star Records, and Mind Fields Records. His keen sense of what ignites the dancefloor has led to curating landmark experiences and supporting the rise of India’s next generation of dance music talent.2023 was a landmark year, with Stalvart and DDC entrusted by Mixmag Asia to take their sound beyond Indian shores, touring across Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore. In 2025, the release of "Cradle of Life" as part of Dynamite Cuts Vol. 1 marked an evolution—a future-focused chapter in the label’s journey.

Stalvart John’s catalogue, spanning edits, originals, and DJ tools, remains steadfastly anchored in the dancefloor: warm, physical, and fiercely independent.
