    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.
