Dreamstates

Dreamstates is the moniker of Dharam Saraviya, a Mumbai-based DJ known for his genre-fluid approach and deeply intuitive music selection. Rooted in nearly two decades of wide-ranging listening, his sound reflects a continuous evolution shaped by curiosity and exploration across musical forms.

His journey began in the mid-2000s within India’s punk and thrash scene, where he played in bands before transitioning into electronic music. This dual exposure — both as a performer and behind-the-scenes contributor to major music events — has given him a rare perspective across different layers of the music ecosystem.

As a DJ, dreamstates resists strict genre boundaries, seamlessly moving between house, techno, breakbeat, garage, and IDM. His sets are driven by instinct, narrative, and a deep understanding of mood, resulting in a signature sound that feels both unpredictable and cohesive.

A resident on Boxout.fm, where he hosts the show Cosmic Claps, he has shared stages with artists such as DJ Stingray, Batu, and Roza Terenzi, alongside performances at festivals like Magnetic Fields and Echoes of Earth — establishing himself as a key figure in India’s underground circuit.
