How do I get started with booking BREED right here on StarClinch?

Accepted Answer

It’s honestly pretty straightforward. You don’t need to jump through hoops—just look for the **GET IN TOUCH** enquiry form sitting right on this page (it's usually near the top or distinctively marked). Once you fill that out with your event details, you aren't just sending an email into the void.

You actually get access to a personal dashboard. Think of it as your command center where you can manage quotes, chat directly about requirements, and check availability without playing phone tag. It keeps everything organized, which is a lifesaver when you're juggling a million other event details.

Question 3

Why should I consider BREED for my event? What unique value do they bring?

Accepted Answer

Because they aren't just pressing play on a laptop. BREED brings a legitimate *performance* aspect that is rare in the electronic scene. You’re getting a **DMC (India) Champion** in Ritesh D'Souza paired with a classically-trained pianist and vocalist in Tara Mae.

Their move to Los Angeles really shifted their sound, blending exotic, high-energy beats with sophisticated composition—something evident in their chart-topping collection *'Binate'* and *'The Inside'* EP. If you want an atmosphere that feels like a festival main stage but retains musical depth, this duo is your best bet. They have a knack for reading a room and shifting from **Dubstep** to **Minimal** seamlessly, keeping the **General audience** engaged the entire time.

Question 4

What makes BREED stand out compared to others in their field?

Accepted Answer

It's the pedigree and the company they keep. How many DJs do you know who have shared stages with giants like **Major Lazer**, **Dillon Francis**, and **Alesso**? That level of exposure means they know exactly how to handle big crowds and high expectations.

But beyond the resume, it's their sound. Influenced by avant-garde artists like **Flying Lotus** and **FKA Twigs**, their music has a texture you don't find in standard Top 40 sets. They fuse Ritesh’s technical scratching and production wizardry with Tara’s melodic sensibilities. It’s a collision of worlds—classical training meets the raw energy of the underground bass scene—making them a standout choice when you decide to [book a DJ online](https://starclinch.com/book-dj-online) who offers more than just background noise.

Question 5

What kind of musical styles can I expect from a BREED set?

Accepted Answer

Expect the unexpected, but generally, they operate in the high-energy realms of **Dubstep**, **EDM**, and **Minimal** electronica. However, because Tara Mae is a vocalist and composer, their sets often feature lyrical depth and melodic breaks that give the audience a chance to breathe before the next drop.

They describe their influences as "colorful" and "enthusiastic," drawing inspiration from **Chrome Sparks** and **Sia**. So, while they bring the heavy bass necessary for a dance floor, there's an artistic layer to it—think 'Future Bass' with a human soul. It's perfect if you want the energy of a club but the sophistication of a live concert.

Question 6

Since they are a duo, does their performance differ from a solo DJ?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The dynamic is completely different. With a solo DJ, the focus is entirely on the console. With BREED, you have interaction between two performers—Ritesh handling the intricate production and scratching, and Tara often incorporating vocals or keys.

This adds a visual element to the show that keeps eyes on the stage. It’s almost like booking a [live band](https://starclinch.com/book-band-online) in terms of stage presence, but with the non-stop continuity of a DJ set. The chemistry between them (having navigated the music scenes of both Mumbai and LA together) translates into a tight, cohesive performance that feels organic rather than robotic.

Question 7

What are the technical requirements for booking BREED?

Accepted Answer

Since they operate at a high professional level, their tech rider is important to get right for the best sound. Generally, you're looking at:

*   **Standard DJ Gear:** Pioneer CDJs (Nexus 2000s or similar) and a DJM 900 mixer.
*   **Audio Monitoring:** High-quality booth monitors are non-negotiable so they can hear themselves clearly.
*   **Microphones:** Since Tara is a vocalist, professional-grade wireless mics are essential.
*   **Sound System:** A PA system with substantial bass bins (subs) to handle the low-end frequencies of Dubstep and EDM.

Once you start the inquiry process, we can provide their specific technical rider to share with your sound engineer.

Question 8

How much does it cost to book BREED for an event?

Accepted Answer

Their **performance** fee typically ranges between **75,000 - 100,000**, but—and this is a big but—pricing for artists of this caliber is rarely a flat rate. Several factors come into play:

1.  **Location:** Are they flying in from Mumbai or Los Angeles at the time of your event?
2.  **Event Type:** A corporate launch usually has a different fee structure than a college festival.
3.  **Duration:** How long do you need them to play?

To get an accurate number, just use the enquiry form. We'll grab the specific details and get you a custom quote that covers all the bases.

Question 9

Are they suitable for corporate events or just festivals/clubs?

Accepted Answer

While their roots are in the festival and club scene (having played with acts like **Foreign Beggars** and **Teebs**), they are incredibly adaptable. Their experience makes them professional enough for high-end corporate galas, product launches, or fashion shows where the music needs to be stylish and modern.

They aren't your typical "wedding DJs" playing cheesy requests; they are artist-performers. If your corporate event aims to be edgy, modern, and memorable, BREED is a fantastic fit. However, if you need someone to play pure background jazz or classic rock, you might want to explore other options.
