DJ Vachan Chinnappa
DJ — The Man Who Played What No One Else Would
Before Bangalore had club culture, Vachan was already building his own.
About This Episode
Some DJs follow the crowd. Vachan Chinnappa built his own. Before Bangalore had a proper club culture — before Monday nights were even a concept — there was Vachan, spinning records no one else dared to play and creating the kind of atmosphere that would later define what a great DJ night in the city could be.
In Episode 17, Vachan talks with VIC about the music he chose, the rooms he built, and the conviction it takes to play for a crowd that doesn't yet know what it wants to hear.

“I was playing music people didn't know they needed yet. That's the only kind of music worth playing.”
