We welcome Abhijith Hegde who goes by the moniker 'Weird Sounding Dude', for the sixtieth edition of the 'Deep In Mix' series. Hailing from Bengaluru, India, his journey into the world of electronic music was serendipitous, ignited by a chance encounter with Armin Van Buuren's ASOT episode on a local radio station. His initial exposure to the art of DJing left an indelible mark, inspiring him to delve deeper into the craft. Dude's relentless curiosity led him to enroll in a local academy to master the intricacies of DJing, setting him on a path that would eventually see him evolve into a self-taught music producer over nearly a decade.

Weird Sounding Dude's artistic philosophy defies the constraints of genres, driven by a singular mission to invigorate dance floors. His sets are carefully crafted to keep audiences pulsating with energy, regardless of the time slot he occupies. Having graced stages across India's most prestigious festivals and clubs, as well as international locales like Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, Abhijith owes his success to music and the opportunities it has provided. His influences, drawn from luminaries such as James Holden, Nathan Flake, Extrawelt, and Sebastian Mullaert, infuse his music with distinctive chuggy grooves, squelchy rhythms, and winding melodies, always sprinkled with delightful surprises. He has released on prominent imprints such as Sudbeat Music, Mango Alley, Anjunadeep, The Soundgarden, Hoomidaas, Souksonic, and LuPS Records to name a few.

His ascent as a music producer has been meteoric, consistently landing his tracks on Beatport's charts and garnering support from industry giants like Tony McGuinness, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy Mantzur, and many more. He is set to release a remix, titled "Midnight Mirage," on the 29th of this month, on the USA-based label SLC-6 Music, a collaborative effort with his good friends Martin Fredes and Luciano Capomassi. The track has already gained substantial traction, earning accolades from Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, who have enthusiastically featured it in their shows. Abhijith takes this moment to express his heartfelt gratitude to them for their unwavering support.

In addition to his studio prowess, Weird Sounding Dude has had the privilege to share the decks with Jody Wisternoff, Guy J, Yotto, Nick Warren, Sebastien Leger, Cubicolor, Nils Hoffmann, Nox Vahn, Mind Against, Braxton, Khen, Enamour, Jerome Isma-Ae, Stan Kolev, Jimpster, Vaal, Dauwd, BOg, to name a few. Dude's musical odyssey continues to evolve, and his two radio shows, 'Sinetone' and "Orbis," attest his commitment to the art. It's safe to say that his musical expedition has slowly started to take shape with no intention of slowing down.

Enjoy the mix!
