Dance OK Please 119: Matsehora + Dreamstates @ Khar Social, Mumbai

Dance OK Please 119: Nikita Matsehora + Dreamstates @ Khar Social, Mumbai Thursday, April 14th 2022 @ Khar Social 8 pm onwards Free Entry ______ Matsehora: Matsehora is the embodiment of Underground. His musical journey has taken him from his motherland Ukraine, to also living, DJing and organsing events in Goa, Tbilisi and Sri Lanka. Amongst many directions of sound, he loves playing dubby and soulful micro-house records. Mixology is another arrow to his bow and his recent projects include: consulting and curating at Cafe Gallery in Tbilisi, developing the bar at Kureni, Kiev’s legendary Closer Club’s new venture, and co-founding wagmi, a tropical cocktail bar with a focus on music and design, in Galle, Sri Lanka. Dreamstates: Patently undaunted by the limitations of genre, Mumbai-based dreamstates’ approach to music selection is but a natural furtherance of his wide listening habits, habits that have been in a state of positive flux for nearly two decades. That he would make for one of the Indian underground’s in-demand DJs this early into his professional career would have been a cautious punt even for an 18-year-old Dharam Saraviya circa 2007 as he cut his teeth playing rhythm guitar in thrash and punk bands. A deep curiosity and a ravenous thirst for musical knowledge guides his hands on the ones-and-twos, and whether it’s emotional breaks, electro, or garage oozing out the speakers, the signature sound invariably breaks through the mix. As a resident DJ on Boxout.FM, India’s only online community radio station devoted to alternative music, D hosts a monthly show titled ‘Cosmic Claps’.
