    their own biography

    the whole biography
    ANICHE (pronounced "An-ee-sh") is an Indian-born, Brooklyn-based genre-agnostic DJ, producer, curator, and community builder blending Hindustani Classical roots with experimental club sounds into genre-fluid sets. His sets move like controlled chaos: joyful, unpredictable, charged with energy, bass, and moments that catch you off guard. He’s the founder of @finding.your.niche, known for events like EXTRA SPICY PLEASE and for the people, a substance-free, community-focused series. His sets have moved crowds at countless venues from Elsewhere to SILO to Meadows in New York City, and beyond, like San Francisco and Tokyo’s underground scene. A resident at Halfmoon Radio and Newtown Radio, ANICHE is known for high-energy, boundary-pushing sets rooted in intention and cultural influence. He also regularly uploads mixes to his YouTube channel, featuring unique locations: from a high-energy Halloween walking DJ set through the streets of NYC to a chill, jazzy session at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Japan.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Sana is outspoken artist in the male-dominated dance music scene and challenges conventions and creates spaces where rhythm and melody bring people together. Layered with breakbeats, Baile Funk, and experimental bass, her sets expand the boundaries of house while keeping the dancefloor locked in a driving groove. Her music seamlessly blends traditional Indian instruments with the pulse of house, melodic techno, and bass, while weaving in Afro, Tribal, Indo, and Latin influences to craft a dynamic and diverse sonic journey. Sana is one of the founders of DAYTIMERS NYC, the New York chapter of the acclaimed UK collective, and has been featured on Refuge Worldwide (Berlin), Newtown Radio (NYC), and Half Moon BK (NYC). She has performed at leading venues in NYC and London, including Elsewhere, House of Yes, Jazz Cafe (UK), Kindred (UK), and Superior Ingredients, supporting events for acclaimed labels and collectives such as Indo Warehouse, Laylit, DAYTIMERS UK, and Anjunadeep. In 2025, Sana released an official remix of “Ghana Kasoota” with Sony Music India/Relentless Records, reimagining the viral hit through her globally inspired sound. She is currently working on her debut EP with Pink Turban, continuing to merge South Asian instruments, tribal drums, and Carnatic vocals with dynamic dance music for a truly cross-cultural experience. The EP is set to be released in late 2025.
    Their RA profile lists Relentless Records.
