While some DJs can certainly get you in the groove, very few can establish a connection with their audience. Almost Human, his audience knows him for his refreshed electronic music and his gothic punk attire. Rohit Gida, aka Almost Human, has been on his techno journey for the past two years. He is one of the very few artists to hit the top mark within a short time. However, one cannot doubt his talent and commitment to his work. Born in Jasdan, Gujrat. Rohit moved to the city of Mumbai to complete his studies, later finding himself in the event industry. With his talent to be a people person, he was able to form his event management company, RG Lifestyle.
He began curating commercial events, club nights, and modelling assignments and was drawn towards the music and the life behind the console. On August 6, 2018, Rohit performed for the first time at the Four Seasons Hotel. Since then, there has been no turning back for him. Despite his love for music, he never considered himself a techno DJ. In the early stages of his career, he played more commercial numbers. With commercial music, Rohit was getting people to groove till late 2019. In the early months of the pandemic, Rohit stated that he was creating and producing more electronic techno music at home, which boosted his confidence in the genre. Following the pandemic, he began producing electronic music, including melodic, progressive, house, and other genres. His goal was to bring UK underground electronic music to India. At that point, he had the idea for the name AlmostHuman. His clothing has always been well-liked, and it was inspired by what he saw while studying in the UK. A guy used to wear all black, and it dawned on him that he would come up with a fresh idea. He carefully picked his attire from a UK punk store as he wanted a fresh look for his fresh music, one that complimented each other. While some previous artists were trying to find their niche in this field, Rohit has captured the hearts of everyone. His music and the vibe he creates with each beat have made him incredibly popular. For the previous two years, Almost Human has sold out shows.
I have always been blessed, and people love me for my music. I express my gratitude to God
and everyone who has supported me.
Such love doesn’t come easy. Rohit (Almost Human) studied DJing at the Point Blank Music
School in London with a lot of seriousness and passion. While sharing the story, he mentioned,
“I used to just practice making music every hour while my fellow mates were busy attending gigs and parties
He was inspired to become the best DJ by one of his most influential teachers, who inspired him to understand the depth of music and suggested to create tracks every single day.”. He still spends most of his time on the system, with Abelton software in front. All of the songs that he has released under various record labels in the past few years have risen to the top of the charts in electronic techno music. In our conversation with him, we realised that Rohit is one of the few artists on the scene who creates new sets, new sounds, and new music every couple of weeks for his gigs. “I am a DJ; it’s my job to provide fresh music every time I go to the same city. My audience comes to my gigs to always experience something new,” he added. One can understand the craze among his fans for him; one of his fans had the Almost Human logo tattooed on his chest He keeps up to date with all the technological advancements in the music business; he has a room where he records his sets. You can learn more about his musical process and his tunes on YouTube by searching for the TechnoBlazer channel. He is planning to collaborate with musicians who share the same taste in music, both domestic and foreign. Rohit also collaborated and created Protagonist Records, Suprematic, and Techno Blazer record labels under his vision. Sick is one of his all-time favourites, released under Techno Blazer Records. As one of his favourite performance moments, Rohit shared that once his manager advised him to do something original for his stage entrance, he recently travelled to Dubai for Halloween. He decided to walk across the stage, carrying a coffin. In Dubai and India, this went viral. Rohit went on, “I like to do things that are unusual or highly imaginative.” “Sunburn has provided our country with an incredible experience of celebrations and events, so no matter what, I will always have a soft spot for them. The fact that Sunburn is managing me makes me proud.”
Sunburn signed ALMOST HUMAN as its first artist in India under their agency. He feels that music is the only thing that can inspire someone to become the best artist they can be, even though he does not view other artists as his role models or sources of inspiration. It’s important to listen to all kinds of music, sounds, and genres. However, avoid seeking out every genre that you listen to. Pause and consider which genre you are connected to. “Create your own music to establish your unique identity in this world.”
