Music Style: Melodic House, Melodic Techno and Deep house.

Genetically blessed with an ear for all genres of music, Neena at a very young age was exposed to the wonder that is 'rock music' by her maternal uncle with bands like Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull to name a few. 

After a career as a Business Development professional for over 12 years of working for a BIG 4 organisation as well as a social innovation startup thereafter, she took a break to raise her (now 5 and a half year old) son. Through her journey of high pressure work environments and rather interesting obstacles in her personal life, music was and continues to be her constant and her truest escape. 

3 years ago, she was introduced to the world of Deep House & Techno Music by Sam Shroff, a renowned DJ in the Chennai circuit, who is now her mentor and guide. 

Neena made her debut as a DJ in December 2018, at a private party (TechSara 6) hosted by a dear friend & a massive fan of Techno. Her track selection and set, surprised many regular listeners, club managers and fans of the genre and that snow-balled into several gigs at some of the popular clubs and resto-bars in the city; The Leather Bar, Chipstead, Blend, Libarrel, Radio Room to name a few.

Manalpa is an electronic music producer and dj. His sonic evolution reflects a blend of gritty textures and diverse cultures, seamlessly fusing sub genres with transcendent soundscapes of magik, Manalpa's music invites you to escape and explore human connection through rhythm and melody. A relentless innovator, he continually redefines the electronic music realm.✨🦉

'No better feeling than to make people dance with a smile on their faces'
- Sam Shroff
 
 
Right from his school days, music has been an important part of Sam's life. His parents introduced him to "The Beatles" and "Simon and Garfunkel", which kindled his interest and curiosity for music. As much as he loved the classics, his love for beats was more, and he would often remix the songs he was listening to in his head. After school, Sam started to remix popular songs using software like Acid Pro and Sound Forge.
 
After completing his Bachelor's degree in Chennai, India, he went to London to pursue his Master's. The swinging city became his greatest lesson yet in the ocean of music and increased his respect for its vastness. Here is also where he discovered the world of Techno.
 
Chennai has also played an equal role in Sam's musical journey. Though a lot less active than London in terms of nightlife, the city always pushed contemporary music over mainstream sounds. Clubs such as EC41, HFO and SOCKO (some of them unfortunately now shut down) will always hold a special place in his life as they encouraged him to pursue a career as a DJ. 
 
Attending one of the biggest Techno festivals held on the beaches of Chennai's beautiful coastline and continuous encouragement from friends were essential catalysts for Sam to start mixing music. 
 
Sam has come a long way from playing off his iPod at home scenes to playing at friend's parties in front of huge crowds. He is now one of the most sought-after DJs in the circuit and has played at some of the best clubs and festivals in Chennai. He has shared the console with some of the business's most prominent names: Bart Skils, BLANCAh, Marco Bailey, Arjun Vagale, Ankytrixx, Ash Roy, Kohra, Calm Chor, Blot!, Rosper, MaFaiza and Tuhin Mehta, to name a few. 
 
A musical storyteller, Sam is known to create a mesmerizing vibe in all his sets!
