Techno Thursday at Hangout
Techno Thursday is a running weekly fixture at Hangout, not a one-off party. Each week, DJs build a 5-6 hour set running from Techno into Deep House and Trance. As a result, this is the only regular Techno night in Kasauli, Himachal. Currently, the best Techno party in Himachal happens at Hangout Bar, just an hour’s drive from Chandigarh and Panchkula.

Our DJs and the Team Behind the Music
Hyacinth — Our Event Organizer. Shantanu Shekhar, the founder of this event company, began his journey a few years ago at Hangout. Although the name Hyacinth is unusual, the company has a strong future in the music industry, with several Techno and live electronic artists on its roster, and has recently organised events across India.
Veda — Techno DJ from Himachal. Veda (Veda Dogar) is a techno DJ, vocalist and multidisciplinary artist from Kasauli, a beautiful colonial-era town in Himachal Pradesh. Recognized for her powerful sets, she seamlessly blends hypnotic rhythms with cultural influences, creating immersive dancefloor experiences. With a steadily growing follower base, Veda has become a regular name in North India’s underground electronic music scene and is part of the regular rotation of DJs at Hangout’s Techno Thursday.
DJ Maalbro — Saksham Khanna. Saksham Khanna, known by his stage name DJ Maalbro, is a disc jockey from Solan who also runs a beautiful homestay named Windmillinn. If you happen to venture deeper into Himachal from Kasauli, check out this well-run place in Solan.
Beyond the DJs, our evenings often feature other performers too — like Arunesh doing Fire Pois.

Global Music Only — We Don’t Take Requests
Global Music is always played at Hangout, the rooftop bar of the best boutique hotel in Kasauli — unlike the typical Hindi or Punjabi sets played at wedding-style parties. Because of this, Hangout has become a favourite with foreign tourists too, with travellers from 15+ countries having stopped by over the years.

Why Techno? The Science of the Beat
Dancing has been a vivid art form for expressing emotions since ancient times. It is also one of the best forms of exercise — dancing joyfully helps keep an individual healthy, fit and young at heart.
The tempo, or BPM, of techno ranges between 122-130. Interestingly, the human heart normally beats at about 80-100 BPM, but rises into the same range as techno’s BPM while dancing. As a result, the heart and the music fall into synchronization, similar to the phenomenon of resonance. This makes us feel ecstatic and improves blood flow, along with several other health benefits. If you want to free your body and groove to uplifting techno beats, Hangout Rooftop Bar and Lounge is the place to be. Few hotels in Kasauli have licensed bars, and none has this kind of music, live musical evenings, or Open Mics.
Silent Disco Parties — A First in India
Hangout used to organize Silent Disco (Headphone) Parties, a European concept of listening to music late at night. Kasauli Regency was the first hotel in India to organize Silent Disco parties at Hangout, playing 3 channels: Western Music, Techno/Reggae, and Indian Classical/Trance. These have since been discontinued, but Techno Thursday continues to be the bar’s flagship weekly night.
Best Techno Party in Himachal, India
Techno music in Himachal is becoming famous in places like Old Manali, Parvati Valley, Dharamshala, Bhagsu and Kasauli, largely because of the foreign travellers visiting these towns in abundance. Hangout’s DJs play non-stop Techno and Deep House for 5-6 hours, which has helped Techno Thursday grow into one of the most talked-about parties in Kasauli, Himachal — a town just 1-2 hours from the Tri-cities of Chandigarh.
