Kaushik Das — known as DJ Roop — is the sole Indian act from Kolkata to perform at Tomorrowland Belgium 2024, making him only the 5th Indian DJ to play the festival.

He started DJing in 2014 and trained at PartyMap DJ Academy under DJ Akhil Talreja, earning a full scholarship for his DJ and music production certification. He also taught at the Tomorrowland Foundation Music & Arts School in Kolkata.

On December 26, 2023, a Tomorrowland representative reached out. He was confirmed to perform on July 27, 2024 at the RISE Stage during Yves V presents V Sessions.

Day job: software engineer at Tata Consultancy Services, pursuing an M.Tech from Jadavpur University. Music wasn't a career pivot — it ran alongside everything else.

"The music will bridge the gap with English vocals but infused with Indian and ethnic essence in the instruments." — DJ Roop

Common Questions

Before You Enrol

Depends on where you want to end up. DJ courses are for performers — club sets, live mixing, CDJ technique. Music Production is for people who want to make original tracks in FL Studio or Ableton. Sound Engineering covers studio recording and mixing. Concert Sound is live-event focused — PA systems, monitor mixes, stage setup. Most students start with one and cross-train later.
No prior experience needed for any course. All equipment — CDJs, controllers, studio monitors, DAW licenses — is available at our centres. You train on professional gear from day one. Bring headphones if you have them; everything else is provided.
Both. Classroom training runs at our Mumbai (Andheri), Thane, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Guwahati centres. Online courses are available for DJ and Music Production. Live performance skills — sound engineering and VJ — are better learned in person and are primarily classroom-based.
DJ Professional: 3 months. Music Production: 3.5 months. Sound Engineering and Concert Sound are intensive studio formats. VJ Bootcamp: 3 days. Most students complete their primary course in one term and add a second track in the next.
You get a free artist profile listing on Partymap.in — India's artist booking platform with 2L+ visitors. Event organizers use it to discover and book artists directly. We don't promise gigs; we give you the exposure to earn them.
