Without doubt, our country has always been awash with talented independent music artists. To be musical is something deeply entrenched in our history and heritage. Yet in today’s age, upcoming artists don’t wait around for traditional platforms to recognise their skills or give them big shows; now is the time that social media cuts out all the middle men, and allows people to show their prowess on a world stage at the click of a button. One such person, who took this route to command a place for himself in the hearts of both listeners and industry honchos, is Rohit Gida — known by the stage name, “Almost Human”.
Almost Human is the first DJ in India that not only has a clear musical identity but that also has a trademark style of dressing, which includes concealing his face with a mask. In the past few years, Almost Human has done innumerable shows up and down the country; virtually, as well as in front of live audiences. Famed for immersing people in his magical ambience and spreading contagiously good vibes with his energetic persona and heartfelt sets, it is no surprise as to why he has become one of India’s most popular DJs.
On his love for DJing, Almost Human says, “I’ve always been into spinning, and wanted to make a career in it. I think a lot can be done with music. Mixing the right songs helps me come up with fantastic rhythms. It makes people happy, and seeing others happy I feel content. I’ve performed so far at many festivals, events, shows and private parties. The response has always been amazing.”
On social media, Almost Human has an incredibly loyal fan following; one that is growing exponentially day by day. His creatives follow a succinct theme that stands out from the crowd; a nod to his iconic style — the mask, the black and red colour scheme, the hood. His comments are abound with fans from every corner of the nation eagerly awaiting his latest videos and gig dates. So far he has performed in several major metropolises in India, such as Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Bangalore and Hyderabad, as well as being booked in a number of smaller cities that are increasingly showing love for this kind of sound.
Almost Human wants to continue making the country dance by spreading his irresistible energy and rapturous music for many years to come. DJing is his first love, and he has truly become an inspiration to people. His social media posts give us a glimpse into the stardom he enjoys and what can come from hard work and dedication. We look forward to seeing him go from strength to strength in this industry, and cannot wait to see what gigs he has in store for us to further savour his sound.
