Sam Velocity is a professional DJ based out of the finance capital of India, Mumbai. It is the brainchild of Shashikant Gautam. Born in the early 90’s, music has always been a passion for this young and versatile DJ. However, the thought of being a professional disk jockey only occurred to him in 2006 when he played at his first private party. There has been no holding back this 23-year-old ever since, who has spun at more than 300 private gigs. Sam’s inclination toward techno – not just as a genre of music but also as a lifestyle in general – began a few years back when he and a few friends started a new enterprise to support techno artists and gigs. He was always exploring the sounds of his surroundings sub-consciously. Somehow his music and art classes kept him engaged. He did not realize his heart was into music until he went to college. He is a regular performer at Taj Residency.
