Bombie can move a club floor. She has done so for stages shared with the likes of dance music giants like Jane Fitz and Special Request. However, the Bangalore-based DJ sets a different goal for her Wild City mix, focusing instead on creating a cerebral journey. The mix kicks from an ambient starting point before jumping between leftfield, dub and downtempo without shying away from radical…
With just over a year of existence, the party-throwers Future Funk have begun to dominate the nightlife of New Delhi – hosting parties that go beyond the usual fare of house and techno to dedicate nights to footwork, breaks and hip-hop. Even their next, on June 19, sees Taru Dalmia aka Delhi Sultanate jump in with Sanil Sudan aka Tyrell Dub Corp, and joined by the likes of Akashi and DARN, to…
Ahead of the sophomore edition in her party series Culture Club, OG SHEZ sets the tone with her Wild City mix. It moves from rising Shillong rapper Reble's just-released track 'Praying Mantis' and an edit of Travis Scott to the Punjabi dance number 'Jersey Jhoomer' and a Cardi B edit – all within the first 4 minutes. Evidently, the Mumbai DJ moves fast, quick-cutting through disparate genres but…
For Aadhi aka Mo'Homo, "community" isn't just a buzzword as his fledgling work so far testifies.

As the person behind the gender diversity-centring club night QRAVE and the informative gatherings Flower Tools, Avril Stormy Unger knows more than a thing or two about making the dancefloor shake. But when it comes to creating a Wild City Mix, the Goa-based drag, stand-up and multi-disciplinary performer who DJs as Chutney Mary keeps in mind how the mix might be consumed (likely private…
Though Vishal Unni's Wild City mix lands in the techno territory, it is hardly about slamming drums the genre usually signifies. Instead the hour and 12-minute journey focuses on the atmosphere that lies beyond it. Surrounded by deep expanses of dubby sounds, the constant thump becomes meditative. The ebb and flow instead comes from whether Vishal rattles your body, like with the shaking low-ends…
Our latest Wild City mix from the dancefloors of ParaDisco, the party series founded by Mumbai's Nida Merchant, who was already one of the country's busiest DJs before she turned her focus to building the event series and other efforts like New Delhi Community Radio from the ground up. Dedicated to the joyous nature of disco and house, the parties are not the run-of-the-mill affair of handpicked…
After closing for the likes of Joy Orbison on nights like The Warehouse Project and going B2B with Baalti in 2025, Yash Mundhra aka EBITDA has made a place for himself in heavyweight lineups gracing Indian dancefloors. Providing a snapshot of his sound at this milestone, the Kolkata-rooted DJ offers a Wild City Mix that doesn't conform to a single groove pattern but draws upon a relentless…
With the Wild City Mix, Femme Music's Sanoli Chowdhury organises the women-only selections to start with the electrifying energy of veterans like Heart and St. Vincent before mellowing the journey. Unreleased tracks from Indian musicians Ro Maiti and Tiana Tara, from Femme Music's upcoming debut release and compilation 'Nyima Vol. 1', lean more towards intimate and heartfelt alongside the acoustic…
One of the steadily rising electro and house selectors of the country, New Delhi's Jaidev Kaushik aka Jay Drive found himself entrusted to warm the dancefloor up for the prominent modern-day techno act Helena Hauff at her New Delhi show – the mix from which he shares exclusively via Wild City.
