About Dholi Bros

Dholi Bros is an Adelaide entertainment crew built around a simple pairing: a DJ on the decks and live dhol drummers working the room. Led by DJ Raj, who has around 15 years behind the decks and the drum, the team plays everything from Bollywood, Bhangra and Garba to Tamil, Telugu, Nepali, Afghan and Sri Lankan music, alongside R&B, hip hop, pop and retro classics, shaped to each client's taste. The crew is a fixture at South Asian wedding celebrations – the Baraat arrival with two dholis, Jaggo ceremonies, Sangeet and Mehendi nights – and also plays birthdays, anniversaries, hens nights, Diwali, Holi and Lohri events, charity fundraisers, school and college functions and Bollywood-themed corporate events. Their Baraat on Wheels brings the DJ and dhol together on a custom mobile rig for the groom's procession. Beyond the music, Dholi Bros can arrange a water drumming and percussion show, a 360 slow-motion video booth, an LED 3D dance floor, a dry ice effect for the first dance, cold spark machines and moving-head and laser lighting. They can also line up Bollywood, belly and samba dancers or a violinist to round out the program. Before the event, DJ Raj prepares a detailed music plan that maps out the night, including where the sound and lights will sit in the venue and which songs matter most. Packages can be tailored to your budget, so you can start with a DJ and add drummers, effects or performers as the celebration grows.
