ARTIST

Abhi Maisekar is a producer and DJ working the slow end of house music: organic house, downtempo, the warm hypnotic range between 97 and 122 BPM. He's from Hyderabad and lives in Vancouver now. The line he uses to describe his own music hasn't changed in years: “Creating deep, atmospheric journeys inspired by culture, nature & emotion. Music made for movement, connection and moments that stay with you.”

The early records were deep house. His first placement came in 2016, on Rural Records' V.A. Rural India 1 compilation, and a pair of progressive house collaborations with R-Ya followed on Zephyr Music in 2021. Khajurao changed things. Released on the Pune label kośa in 2022 and named for the Khajuraho temples, the EP was described by the label as “an aural representation of the ornate Khajuraho group of monuments,” and seven different producers remixed it. When SHANGO Records put out Vintage Flower in 2025, they called him “the keeper of the Vintage Flower.”

The catalogue keeps moving. Three records are out already in 2026: A Voice in Amber on Tibetania Records, Dew Drop on Eretna, Pulse & Pause on El Santuario Music. All told that's eight international labels, and ten producers who have remixed him.

As a DJ he opened for Dave Seaman on the Selador India Tour, and he's recorded eight guest mixes, for Maucast, Something Slow, aka-tapes, kośa's rāga series and Mystical Vision's The Odyssey among others. Homegrown covered him in 2022, writing that his music “speaks about his belief in peace and spirituality.”

In Vancouver he's building Chill Rave Society and keeps a Spotify playlist under the same name, slow downtempo tracks that feel beautiful, deep, and honest, in his words. He signs almost everything with the same Konkani phrase: mog asun — let there be love.
