Haathi is the alias of Mayank Saraiya – a DJ, musician and mastering engineer whose sets unfold like rituals. Drawing from psychedelic vinyl, dub, and experimental electronics, he crafts meditative yet physical journeys that trace the edges of inner and outer worlds.
Born in Ukraine and now based between Berlin and Kyiv, his selections speak softly but deeply – echoing with trance-inducing rhythms, after-hour textures and a sense of collective stillness. Under various names and through his own productions, Haathi’s sound remains anchored in care, mystery, and connection.
At River Sound 2025, he offers a passage into the timeless – where sound is ceremony, and silence is just another beat waiting to emerge.
