Daytimers is a crew that celebrates South Asian artistry through multiple platforms, and since it’s inception has hosted the first all South Asian music festival ‘Dialled In’ last year, with its second instalment launching next month. Rohans set with Saachi at the first all South Asian Boiler Room was also selected as one of the best mixes of the year by Mixmag. Rohan is an incredibly versatile selector and also hosts a regular show on Worldwide FM where he’s constantly blowing us away with a plethora of selections from all corners of the globe.
