The Latest Cafe Trend: Live Music Returning To Coffee Shops – CoffeeTalk

DJs in India are blending the energy of music with the kick of coffee to give a ‘club’ feel minus the alcohol, one gig at a time. Inspired by international gigs in LA, New York, and other locations, many DJs around the world, especially from Los Angeles, Berlin, and Amsterdam, have been the trendsetters. DJ Tanishq, who jammed at Corridor Seven Coffee Roasters in Nagpur on December 8, is among the first Indian DJs to explore this concept. He shared a Reel from the event, which became an instant hit and managed to gain close to 2 million likes.

Nida, who played at Nandan Coffee in Mumbai on a weekday, experienced a “good response” and received inquiries from coffee shops across Jaipur, Mumbai, and Delhi. The event was aimed at bringing people together after work and catered to people who don’t necessarily want to consume alcohol but also unwind after work. There was no entry fee, and the choice of music was mostly House genre, with music from Taylor Swift to Doja Cat.

Yahvi and Parthivi Mariwala, who run Nandan Coffee that hosted the mini-concert with Nida, share that they opened their place two months ago with the idea of an immersive experience and wanted to combine the idea of music and coffee. Aavika Chhawchharia, founder of Honey & Dough, will also be hosting one such gig this month in New Delhi. If it goes well, she might start doing it regularly. While the coffee will definitely be served, food will be available depending on the turnout.
