Our last edition was with Anejath, and for this week we bring to you a key member of both Beatworx and Afterworx. Shreyas_ begun his career in early 2011 in Bangalore (India), with over half a decade of experience behind him, his undying passion for music resonates through his DJ sets which string together hypnotic, deep and atmospheric tonalities with darker and more musically inclined melodic phrases, stitched together to form a journey of its own. His primary motivation comes from the dance floor, channeling the energy of the crowd to improvise and create a unique blend of what’s required for the moment. His love for music can be seen in everything that he does, from working at a music school and inspiring younger people, to putting his energy behind local events to push the dance music culture.
