their own biography
the whole biography
Raised in Karachi’s underground, Mehmood found his beginnings in the progressive house scene — a gateway into the wider spectrum of groove and rhythm. Over the years, his sound transformed into a high-energy blend of hardgroove, speed garage, and hard trance — fast, bouncy, and emotionally charged. Now in Berlin, he channels both worlds: the raw intensity of Karachi’s DIY spirit and the precision of Europe’s club circuits. His sets move with percussive drive and hypnotic motion, weaving South Asian melodic sensibilities into a distinctly global sound. Each performance carries a sense of lived-in energy — unpolished, heartfelt, and unrestrained — where cultures collide and euphoria rises from the Global South.Their RA profile lists Just Be Music.Recently at Sensorium, AVA Club, Mikropol · often with UniKhatu, cell1, Fakhar, none of them here that night
