The Architects of Sound at GRID Music Academy

A true pioneer of the DJ scene, DJ KOOL has been shaping dance floors since 1992, long before nightlife even had a name in Jaipur. Back when there were no clubs, no parties, and no blueprint for a music culture, he lit the spark, launching venues, festivals, and unforgettable nights that gave the city its first taste of clubbing. From Jaipur to global stages, DJ KOOL has spun stories through music, performing at iconic venues across the world and inspiring generations to follow the beat of their own passion. His journey isn’t just about spinning records; it’s about building a movement. Today, as a Guest Faculty at GRID Music Academy, DJ KOOL brings decades of experience, priceless industry insights, and the kind of real-world wisdom that can’t be found in books. His classes are more than lessons; they’re a front-row seat to the origins of club culture and a masterclass in turning music into a lifelong career.

Mehul Bhatia, known as MixMinister, hails from Jaipur and has music production and DJing in his genes, inherited from his father. He discovered his passion for music at 16, debuting at an NRI wedding at Samode Group of Hotels. Since then, he has captivated audiences with his ability to seamlessly blend tracks across genres, ensuring that the crowd can't resist dancing. His talent has taken him to the stages of India's most prestigious music festivals, including VH1 Supersonic, Sunburn, and Road to Ultra, where he has performed alongside a roster of electronic music titans such as Lost Stories, DJ NYK, Nikhil Chinapa, Nucleya, and Zaeden.
