Mumbai events in March

It seems to be a universal truth that one’s brain is hardwired to start enjoying house music as soon as you enter your 20s. Berlin collective &ME, Rampa, and Adam Port (Keinemusik) are a testament to this resurgence of house music in pop culture, with tracks like Say What and Move hitting international charts with billions of streams. The afro-house trio has quickly become the sound of the city, so naturally, the big-ticket item this month is their return to Mumbai.
