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 : 

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.

FUNK'N AROUND RADIO 0023 - STALVART JOHN

As a tag team digging through their combined vinyl collection, Unnayanaa and Hamza Rahimtula have been bringing the house down. Anyone who has danced captivated to one of their back-to-back sets this year, in any of the go-to local haunts that the pair is making its way through, knows that that metophorical statement isn't a hollow praise.

After connecting at AQI (the multi-day event hosted by Hamza's Windhorse Records and Warehouse Mix), the two of India's most long-standing and deepest purveyors of house music tapped into a synergy that should have been obvious.

As such, their formidable 3-hour Wild City mix, which captures the pair's recent visit to Bangalore's Indiranagar Social, is a full mapping of house music's DNA. Genre staples like Ron Trent, Kerri Chandler and Louie Vega connect easily with the disco lineage of Dinosaur L and Sister Power while the African and Latin-rooted rhythms of the likes Africanism and Jafrosax provides a percussive throughline to the genre's legacy and influences across continents.

Delivered with a puristic sense of craft using only vinyl selections coming together over a rotary mixing, Hamza and Unnayanaa still bring a showmanship to the mix which times its exchange of rhythmic breaks and singalong beltings, almost using the records to communicate with the audience in a very literal manner. Then almost like an epilogue or a tantalizing post-credit section, the upbeat sets gradually shifts via grittier beats into a leftfield comedown in its final 15 minutes.
