Long bio
120 wordsPratikesh Salgaonkar — DJ Pratikesh on the decks — is a Mumbai-based DJ and producer dedicated to the rhythmic depths of the underground. His sets live in the seam between raw Techno and deep Afro-inspired rhythms: hypnotic, percussive, built to hold a room rather than chase a drop.
Formally trained and certified through Media Skills — New York DJ Academy, he has spent the past year curating high-energy sets across intimate private gatherings, house parties and professional lounge guest spots throughout Mumbai. Off the decks he produces his own material, which keeps the mixing honest: knowing how tracks are built means knowing where they can bend.
He plays open-format when a room asks for it, folding Bollywood hooks into Techno and Trance structure without losing the thread.
