About DJ Jhalak
I’m DJ Jhalak, born and raised in Lucknow — a city full of culture, soul, and sound. For me, music is more than just a passion — it’s therapy. It’s what kept me grounded, inspired me to move, and helped me express what words never could. I want every set I play to be that same kind of therapy for others — whether they’re dancing through joy or healing through sound. My goal is simple: to create experiences where people can lose themselves in the music and find themselves at the same time.
When and how did you get into DJing?
I’ve been a professional dancer since childhood, and rhythm has always been a huge part of who I am. Performing on stage taught me how powerful music can be — it moves not just the body, but the soul. Over time, I realized it wasn’t just dancing I was passionate about — it was the music itself. The beats, the energy, the emotions it carries. That connection drew me deeper, and eventually led me to DJing. Now, instead of just dancing to music, I create it, mix it, and share it with people to make them feel what I always felt on stage. It’s been a natural transition from performing to producing vibes — and I haven’t looked back since.
Do you produce your own music, or remix existing tracks?
Yes, I do both! I love remixing existing tracks to give them a fresh vibe and make them crowd-ready with my personal touch. But I also enjoy producing my own music — it allows me to channel my creativity and tell my own story through sound. Whether it’s a high-energy dance track or something more melodic and emotional, I’m constantly experimenting and evolving. For me, it’s all about creating music that connects with people and makes them feel something real.
What’s something unique about you that sets you apart from other DJs?
The interaction I try to pull with the crowd is what truly sets me apart. I don’t just play music — I connect with people. I read the energy of the room, vibe with the audience, and create a two-way experience that feels personal and alive. Coming from a dance background, I understand movement and emotion, so I naturally bring that into my sets — making the crowd feel seen, heard, and part of the journey. For me, it’s not about just dropping tracks — it’s about creating a moment that people will remember long after the night is over.
What’s your go-to track to get the crowd hyped?
Definitely Punjabi! The energy, the beats, and the vibe of Punjabi music are unmatched when it comes to getting the crowd hyped. The moment that dhol hits, you can feel the whole room come alive. I love blending that raw desi energy with modern sounds to create an electrifying atmosphere that no one can resist dancing to.
What cities and countries have you performed in so far?
I’ve had the opportunity to perform across several vibrant cities in India, including Hyderabad, Guwahati, Delhi, Lucknow, Chandigarh, and Dehradun, among others. Each city brings its own unique vibe and energy, and I love adapting my sets to match the crowd’s spirit. Every performance is a new story, a new connection — and that’s what keeps me inspired.
Describe your sound in 3 words?
Unique. Groovy. Fresh
Favorite clubs you would love to play or have played?
I’ve had the pleasure of performing at places like My Bar Headquarters, J Club, and Armania, Panchkula — each with its own vibe and energy. I’m always drawn to venues where the crowd is truly connected to the music and the atmosphere is electric. I’d love to keep exploring more iconic clubs where I can bring my sound to life and create unforgettable nights.
