First time playing Hilltop Festival, surrounded by artists I’ve looked up to and a dancefloor that defines global electronic culture. Every step of the journey led here — and the story is only beginning.
Celebrating 15 years of magic, music & memories on the legendary @hilltopgoa Sid 2 Hilltop returns to honor a legacy built on sound, freedom & a global dancefloor beneath the open sky
The complete lineup is here * Two worlds. One unforgettable experience. The Main Stage & @genesis.thenightsaga Stage come alive once again. Be part of Hilltop history as we create memories together once again
From the core at Genesis, @puppet.dj establishes tone, pace, and intent for the Festival.
Chapters like these, are where Puppet thrives—channeling hypnotic techno gathered from dance floors across India. His sound leans into slow-burn tension, looping pressure, and deep, immersive grooves, designed to draw the floor inward and establish focus before the night fully unfolds. Control, patience, and intention sit at the core of his approach.
More than a warm-up, Puppet’s sets are about preparation—setting pace, mood, and direction. As a Genesis resident, he acts as the connective tissue between space and sound, delivering shadowed introductions that prime the room for long-form journeys and extended narratives followed.
