The stage was not a nightclub or a festival ground. Instead, it was the open sky, 10,000 feet above sea level. In a first for India, DJ Trishina Kirpalani, known by her stage name TRYPS, performed a full live DJ set while paragliding — turning the air itself into her dance floor.
The unprecedented performance combined high-altitude adventure with electronic music, breaking new ground for the country’s growing DJ culture. Suspended midair with her equipment strapped in, TRYPS mixed tracks as the mountains rolled beneath her and the wind carried the beats far beyond the ridges.
Breaking Boundaries
The daring feat was more than spectacle. In her post-performance statement, TRYPS described the airborne set as a symbolic act — proving that “music knows no boundaries.” Her attempt was carefully planned, executed with a professional paragliding team, and designed to demonstrate both technical precision and artistic freedom.
A Viral Moment
Clips of the performance quickly spread across Instagram and other platforms, drawing both astonishment and admiration. Viewers called her “fearless,” praising her for elevating electronic music to “literally new heights.”
A Milestone for Indian Music
For India’s electronic music scene, the moment represents both ambition and evolution. While DJs in Europe and North America have long experimented with unconventional venues, from rooftops to desert raves, TRYPS’s achievement marks the first time an Indian woman has brought her art into the skies.
As the festival season approaches, the image of a lone DJ mixing beats against the vast expanse of the sky may become an enduring symbol — of courage, creativity, and a culture ready to push past its limits.
