The first Indian DJ at EXIT Festival, now opening voices through sacred sound
Avantika Bakshi was raised inside Indian classical vocal music — the long ragas, the discipline of the breath, the idea that a single sustained note can change the temperature of a room. From there she became one of India's boldest musical voices: the first Indian DJ to play EXIT Festival, a performer at Burning Man, an artist whose debut EP Moody Koyal arrived on Get Physical Music. But underneath the dancefloor has always run a quieter current — drawn from the Bhagavad Gita, from kirtan and chant, from the conviction that the voice is the most honest instrument we own. In her sessions she sets the decks aside and works with that instrument directly: opening the throat, steadying the breath, letting sound carry what words cannot. Sacred and sweaty, traditional and alive — she holds space for people to find the note that is already theirs.
