Bast is the moniker embodied by Delhi-based queer artist & DJ Akriti Niti Guha. Music has been an integral part of Guha’s life and they intend to bring their genre-fluid persona to inspire the dance floor.

The name Bast comes from the cat god of protection, music and dance. Their sets are fluid and bring ecstatic energy to the dancefloor. Bast has curated and performed at various underground, DIY and queer parties in Delhi and has worked with a close-knit community of queer folks called Dragery, to explore gender, identity and desire through the form of Drag. They're also the co-creator of The BOOTH BBS DJ Workshop which aims to push queer DJs and dance music in mainstream nightlife culture.
