Aalika (House Arrest)

Aalika is a rising DJ from Pune carving her space within India’s evolving electronic music scene with a sound deeply rooted in house. Her sets are defined by seamless progression, moving through uplifting, groove-led moments into deeper, more introspective territories, always guided by flow and energy.

Her journey began on the dancefloor, where early exposure to diverse sounds and community-driven spaces shaped her understanding of music beyond just listening. This foundation continues to influence her approach behind the decks, where instinct and observation play a central role in shaping each performance.

With a background in Hindustani classical music, Aalika brings a natural sense of rhythm and structure into her sets, subtly weaving musicality and emotion into her selections. Her ability to read a room allows her to adapt effortlessly, creating experiences that feel both intentional and responsive.

As her sound evolves, she is expanding beyond groove-driven house into faster and more dynamic territories, exploring techno, electro, and hard groove. Alongside DJing, she is actively developing her production skills, working toward crafting and releasing her own original music.
