GA on Sale Thursday April 9th at NOON.. Walter Productions x Midnight Club Present: Jyoty + Celica & Palogo Friday May 22 / 9pm - 2am / 21+ Walter Studios (747 W. Roosevelt St, Phoenix) Jyoty bio Jyoty is the music industry multihyphenate who has built a global fan base around her freeform, multi-genre DJ sets, her championing of real, no BS club culture and her unwavering commitment to being her true authentic self at all times. Not many DJs can command headline crowds across multiple continents or sell out iconic venues in London (Brixton Academy) or New York (Knockdown Centre) in a single day, but Jyoty can turn the party out wherever and whenever she lands in Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Asia. A seasoned raver whose love for the dancefloor remains undiminished, Jyoty has a sixth sense for knowing how to set the vibe and raise the temperature via track selections that span the face of contemporary global club music, as well as her deep knowledge and appreciation of your aunty’s favourite hits from the ‘90s and ‘00s. She’s known for her love of Brazilian baile funk, East Coast club music from Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York, cutting-edge sounds from the African continent such as gqom, amapiano and afrobeats, dancehall out of Jamaica, Dutch bubbling and, of course, UK soundsystem styles like jungle, funky, grime and garage. Then there’s all the crazy hybrids and iconic SoundCloud edits that she digs for and collects from the widest reaches of internet music culture. And then there’s her penchant for neo soul, r’n’b, rap and hip hop from across the eras. This is a cheat sheet of what Jyoty might play but there’s really no point even listing the genres that pop off during one of her sets; Jyoty’s unique selling point is that you just don’t know what you’re gonna get. Jyoty’s innate ability to know what her crowds want before they do means that she’s amassed a loyal following of club kids, soundsystem girlies and music heads who arrive at her sets with an open mind and the intention to rave their asses off. This means she can announce one of her Homegrown parties direct to her fans via email or Discord and sell out in the drop of a hat. IYKYK. And if you don’t? Well, Homegrown is Jyoty’s own club night where she creates and curates her vision of the perfect night out, an intimate counterpoint to her sold-out headline shows and packed peak-time festival appearances. There’s no phones, no line-up announcements and no socials, allowing Jyoty and her community the space to cut loose with zero pressure or presumption. Special guests are handpicked from Jyoty’s close friends list and the music policy is wide open. Early arrival is recommended because Jyoty doesn’t always play during prime party hours. Homegrown roams the world and pops up in all kinds of sweat-soaked club spaces, allowing everyone the chance to dance like no one’s watching. A meteoric and sustained rise like Jyoty’s doesn’t happen overnight and, to be real, Jyoty has been living music, nightlife, fashion and communications since day dot. The daughter of Punjabi Indian parents who grew up on the west side of Amsterdam, Jyoty discovered her love of music and hustle early. At the age of 11 she began waiting tables and scoring tips at her dad’s restaurant and got in trouble with her mum for running up the phone bill to request Aaliyah’s ‘Rock The Boat’ on MTV. At the age of 14, she started sneaking out of the family house to go to Erykah Badu and Jill Scott concerts before getting a taste for nightclubs shortly after, attending seminal Dutch events like the rap-focused Bassline, the bass-heavy Oi and messy indie sleaze party Girls Love DJs. As soon as she was old enough to work, she bagged a job at a sneaker store and immersed herself in streetwear and hip hop culture and went on to study Political Science and Philosophy at university. She also did a stint working in casting for Dutch TV before moving to London at the age of 22 to get stuck into the capital’s music and nightlife scene and do a post grad in World History and Cultures. Having previously visited the city to sneak into legendary UKG rave Twice As Nice as an underage teen, Jyoty was now in the epicentre of UK club culture, schooling herself at the events like the cutting-edge Night Slugs, infamous afterparty Jaded and the cross-genre Eglo, where she was delighted to hear r’n’b at four in the morning. To earn some cash while studying, Jyoty became a now legendary doorperson at the city’s most influential and scuzziest venues (as well as doing the guestlist for Boiler Room years before her multi million-streaming videos and headline shows for the platform). After completing her post grad, she held down a job at Portcullis House (where MPs have their offices), had senior roles at tech and marketing start-ups and worked behind the scenes in the music industry, putting together major brand campaigns. “Worked, hustled, worked, hustled,” Jyoty says of her career to date. Now she works and hustles worldwide. Jyoty’s first musical discipline is as a broadcaster and radio DJ, having fallen in love with radio after a friend asked her to co-host a show on London’s legendary Rinse FM. That turned into a residency of her own which has lasted for the best part of a decade. It’s during those shows that Jyoty learned to connect the dots between the genres she loves, developed her A&R skills by consistently putting on new talent and allowed an audience way beyond her hometowns of Amsterdam and London to connect with her personality and taste. She continues to host radio, platforming brand new music and talking direct to her fans, holding down her own corner of music culture and curation. Check her SoundCloud archives for super early interviews with the likes of Cardi B, Greentea Peng, Princess Nokia and Masego, among others. Jyoty’s Rinse residency led to club booking requests, but she held out because she didn’t know how to beatmatch. In 2017 she finally said yes to Jamz Supernova, put in the practice hours and pulled off her very first club show. In 2019 Jyoty played her first Boiler Room, broadcasting her fierce selections and irrepressible personality to the world via YouTube and then during lockdown clips from that live stream went fully viral, setting the fuse for Jyoty’s global impact as we know it today. But given her life story and stacked resume, as well as her instinctive way of using social media, when the hype and attention started to explode, Jyoty was more than ready. Now, festivals hit up Jyoty to headline directly alongside chart acts because she can hold her own way beyond club nights. And when she is curating her own intimate parties, she’s creating her own vision for sustainable, inclusive and damn right authentic club culture. She’s the go-to DJ and music supervisor for streetwear icons like Patta and high fashion pioneers like Jacquemus and Prada. And she continues to pay it forward by hosting DJ workshops and early career sessions that aim to make the music industry more accessible. Jyoty’s mission is to encapsulate the underground/commercial nature of what she does as a DJ in the 2020s and bring everyone in with her. That’s why she was an ideal team captain for Red Bull’s 2025 Culture Clash: Jyoty understands the fine details of myriad global music scenes as well as what makes the masses move.
