Pedro Aguiar - Black Palm

Dauw—pronounced ‘Dao’—is the condensation of soul into sound. Like morning dew catching the first light of day, his music arrives steadily, yet speaks of deep undercurrents. Steeped in deep, worldly rhythms, the journey has always been one of essence over hype. Feeling over form.

His sets have pulsed through clubs, festivals, deserts, jungles, lakesides and intimate private events. But as the seasons turned, so did the call. What once moved crowds toward sunrise began pulling him inward—toward stillness, presence and ceremony. 

And so, Dao emerged. A name echoing eastern wisdom tradition—the path, the flow, the harmony beyond effort. With it he crafts ecstatic dance experiences where music becomes medicine and movement the release. These are rituals in spaces held with care, soul and deep intention. 

Drawing on one and a two decades of DJ alchemy, his sound blends grounded basslines with soaring emotional arcs, curated entirely anew for each gathering. Music for the body, the breath and the unseen.

This isn’t an act. It's a remembrance.

Twokid Wickid is the performance moniker of Prithvi Varadarajan and Achal Khanolkar, who hail from the city of Bangalore, in India. Having grown up together, the duo began their journey into electronic music in the year 2008 by listening to and playing the more progressive shades of house and techno. 
Having spent the earlier part of their music careers, learning and warming up at some of the most notable properties in the city, it was clearly evident that there was no stopping the duo. 
Since then, the lads have been on a constant upward trajectory, establishing themselves as one of the most sought after acts in the city as they learned, absorbed and played every style of house music, techno, minimal, electro and breaks ( practically just about anything, earning them wide acclaim. 

The duo has played at a bouquet of major Indian electronic festivals such as :
- #EchoesofEarthFestival (Bangalore) 
-#FarOutLeft (Mumbai)
- By the Pier (Mumbai)
- Future theory electronic music festival (Pune) 
- Over & Out electronic music festival (Bangalore) 
- VH1 Supersonic (Goa)
- The Go:Madras electronic music festival (Mahaballipuram)
- The Kingfisher Oktober Fest (Goa) 
- The Kingfisher Oktober Fest (Bangalore) 
- Cirkus Indigo festival (Bangalore) 

 

Twokid Wickid have also featured and played alongside a large number of  notable international superstars such as Lena Willikens, Etapp Kyle, Ambivalent, Avatism, Alienata, DJ Dustin (Giegling) , Konstantin(Giegling), Dubfire, Bookashade, , Rebekah, Bryan Kasenic ( The Bunker NY), Mike Servito (The Bunker NY) , Antenes (The Bunker NY) , just to name a few. 

With an enviable collection of classic cuts, mored-club bangers and rarely heard off music, theres certainly a lot more to come from the boys from Bangalore.
