Artist Statement
"Deep techno house sounds that tell a melodic story in this intense session."
— Pioneer DJ Radio, Underground Sounds of India Series
Nephra (Neha Pardeshi) is one of India's most enduring underground House, Disco and Techno DJs — a Hyderabad-based artist whose sets are known for deep grooves, melodic tension, and a storyteller's instinct on the dance floor. Since 2012, she has been a driving force in shaping the Indian underground club scene.
She has performed across India and internationally — from Magnetic Fields Festival and Sunburn to the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) — with sets broadcast on Pioneer DJ Radio, Frisky Radio, and Boxout.fm. In 2024, Mixmag featured her as part of India's growing underground movement.
As a music producer, Nephra released two tracks in 2025 on Natural Rhythm — a prestigious Romanian underground label — blending disco-inflected grooves with hypnotic rhythmic architecture. Her ongoing project Goldilocks is a curated Disco-House mix series and live event concept, available as a residency or standalone booking.
Off the decks, she co-founded EQ — a collective championing women in India's electronic music scene.
