💖 Long caption but totally worth reading 💖
We had a half-formed idea of Dil Se Rave since forever. We knew we wanted to combine all of the music we've appreciated throughout our lives into one bucket: AR Rahman, Fred Again, Atif Aslam, Skrillex, Linkin Park, Lord HR.. all at one place. The idea felt as weird as it sounds, and for a long time, it just lived in our heads as this strange, tempting "what if."
Then last year, we finally said it out loud to a few friends, and that was probably the spark it needed. Before we knew it, we were hosting a trial run of
@dilserave in our friends' backyard. And it turned out to be a beautiful, beautiful evening. The feedback we got was insane. People got it. and that feeling of being understood, oooof. Magical.
Fast forward about 6 months, and we’re now hosting our 4th proper Dil Se rave in San Francisco. Along the way, we have found a literal village of friends who are kind, caring, creative, and ridiculously generous with their time and energy. People who show up early, stay late, figure things out, and pour themselves into making every DSR event feel like a wonderland.
It's easy to think an event like this is all about the DJs, but more credit goes to all of our friends working behind the scenes, taking care of us and the thousand other things that need to happen to throw an event like this. You know who you are. We see you, and we love you. 💖
What we’re doing with Dil Se Rave this Saturday is already way beyond anything we had originally planned or hoped for. Dare we say it, we do dream of one day building an actual full-scale music festival. like a real one.
But even if that never happens, we know what matters to us: to keep creating something that feels intentional, honest, and heartfelt.
That’s been our guiding light so far, and we intend to keep it that way.
Thank you to every single one of you who has shown up, supported, danced, helped, or just believed in this idea. This little world is starting to feel very real because of you. And we don’t take that for granted at all. Can't wait to share alllll the new craziness we're cooking.
