Chhabb
Growing up between the fast-paced city of Mumbai and the laid-back
beaches of Goa, Chhabb was always surrounded by music and culture. As a
kid, he trained in singing, but was equally drawn to the punk and goth scenes
—eventually finding his way into psychedelia and electronic music.
Spending some time in North America opened up new doors, especially to
house and techno, which resonated deeply with him. When he returned to
India at 20, he began hosting weekend nights, playing music that felt honest
to him. His sound quickly caught on, leading to a residency at Bonobo and
the creation of his own residencies—Phool, Jellyfish, and Technostew—each
an extension of his taste and vision.
Over the years, Chhabb has played at festivals and venues across India, including Magnetic Fields, FarOutLeft, Vh1 Supersonic, and Maushi Day. His productions— released on labels like Antariksh Records, FOL Records, and Krunk Kulture—lean into the experimental, often blurring genre lines. He’s also shared the stage with some of the most respected names in underground music: Jeff Mills, DVS1, Volvox, Wata Igarashi, Anthony Rother, and many more.
At his core, Chhabb is driven by a love for sound and a deep respect for the
dancefloor. His focus remains on building meaningful experiences and
helping shape the future of India’s underground music scene—slowly,
steadily, and with intention.
