Asad a.k.a Dj
FREEAATMAH (33) was born and brought up in the city of Mumbai. Dj Asad
began as early as 1986 (at a time when even the word Dee-jay seemed to be alien
in India), starting with commercial dance and then experimenting with rock,
acid rock, retro and funk, progressing to acid house and garage by the late
80's. He then discovered Techno, progressing to Psy, Acid and Goa Trance during
the course of the 90's. Asad along with two of his friends, Jeh and Whosane!
have played an important role in setting up the Goa trance scene, right from
its infancy. The success of 'Paradiso de Anjuna', a name known to all
trance freaks and travelers in Goa and the world over, is proof of this.
Together they have changed the way people party. Though being labeled as a
purist, Asad appreciates and retains an extremely wide taste in music. He is
open to spinning any kind of music so long as he likes it, regardless of how it
is classified. Asad heads the Paradiso team, which is the only professional
Trance party organizer and a record label in India.
Asad has a great amount of experience on his side which till date consists of
parties worldwide, in U.S.A, Mauritius, all over Asia and India, to name a few.
He has been an active part of 'The Audiophile' and the 'Paradiso' team along
with DJ Whosane and Jeh Wadia. This group set up and managed more than ten hip
nightclubs in Mumbai city, ever since their first in 1991. He has channeled all
this energies towards the growth of Psy and Goa trance scene in India and has
thus been instrumental in taking the vibe to all major cities in the country.
He has succeeded in giving the trance scene a very acceptable face in this orthodox
society.
Ever since he visited Goa in 1991, he has been going back faithfully, every
year to spin and collect new music because of Goa's unique energy. For him, his
set should tell a story, slowly building up into full-fledged cosmic dance
ritual ending with sounds that transcends one back to reality. Channeling the
flow of cosmic energy, combining it with that of his and then sharing it with
the crowd is what he looks to achieve through his music. It is most important
for him to awaken the love of the universe in each individual. It is the whole
spiritually enriching experience that he looks to share. It is about awakening
the inner being in each individual thus creating a positive change. He
believes that, through this form of dynamic meditation he can create a change
in the way people live their lives. It is in this form of music that
thousands of people can come together to achieve that level of consciousness,
where the individual dancer disappears and only the dance remains. People must
step out of their misery and celebrate the greatness of life. This concept is
applied in organizing the trance Ganesh Visarjan Procession, the brainchild of
DJ Asad. Thousands of people from all walks of life gather and dance through
the streets, a distance of 2 km covered in 7 hours. This has become an out of
the ordinary gathering since the past 4 years. Anything that he starts to do,
is with the intention of making it happen as an ongoing process. The trance
scene at the Razzberry Rhinoceros, a popular nightclub in Mumbai, is yet
another example of his dedication. Here, his team and he started and groomed
the trance scene from infancy, focusing on encouraging local and international
talent. It is now globally known for the same.
Now working on selective events and with select organizers so as to make time
to work on his psychedelic trance tracks (some in collaboration with renown
psychedelic artists) in his personal home studio. Spinning regularly to crowds
of 1000 and more, DJ Asad does not disappoint. He is a well-known name in the
trance circuit in India and his name attracts partygoers. He is respected and
loved by DJs and Artists from all over the world and he continues to grow and
carry the positive vibe with him.
Asad mixes CD's and DAT, external FX and prefers to use Pioneer CDJ mixing
consoles.
Asad and his
partners have been instrumental in designing and managing the following
