For a DJ to make people dance is one thing, for him to evoke people to the dancefloor, is quite another. DJ Dev, resident DJ at Bacchus (F&B), Bangalore does just that and is fast becoming a favourite with Bangalore’s music savvy circuit. Having played at Bacchus for about 2 years now and being mentored by Vachan Chinnappa, Dev has managed to weave in a distinct personal character into his sets, making every listener come back for more week after week.
Self taught and determined, Dev’s goal is to reignite and sustain the techno nights that the city has been missing. His heightened sense of music and mixing abilities come from years of having played to a variety of crowds, and understanding the needs of the dancer in front of the console. Specialising in Minimal Techno and Breaks, his set is always fresh, always new and never repetitive-you can hear his heart beat through the beats of the music he dishes out. Dev also peppers his sets with some slick scratching, an element rarely heard in most DJ sets. Typically, his playlists comprise of Gui Borratto, Youtopia, D-Nox & Beckers and a host of other artists. His set is characterized by ambient moodscapes, funk, breaks, beat drops and crescendos.
With a musical sensitivity rarely seen and an honest expression through music, Dev is one of the most prolific DJs in Bangalore and is on his way to becoming the next big thing.
