Pawas Gupta is a DJ, electronic music producer, and curator with roots in classical Indian music and a global outlook shaped by nearly two decades in Europe.
His work blends melodic depth, rhythmic sophistication, and a deep understanding of house and Detroit-inspired grooves—what he describes as “intelligent house.” As a trained tabla player and self-taught multi-instrumentalist, his sound bridges traditional Indian musicality with modern electronic sensibilities.
After starting his career in India and relocating to Germany in 2004, Pawas has released music on respected labels like Spectral Sound, Connaisseur, and Get Physical, earning support from artists including John Digweed, Dubfire, and Hernan Cattaneo.
As Head of Music at Masala Movement, he manages the collective’s podcast and record label, curates releases, and develops artist collaborations. With a focus on building community and creative dialogue, Pawas continues to shape a transcultural platform rooted in sound, identity, and exchange.
