"I have specific moments I’m planning to premiere."
Italian DJ and producer Anyma, whose real name is Matteo Milleri, is set to make his India debut in Mumbai on November 22, 2026.
He said he has not planned a fixed setlist for the performance.
The musician prefers to adapt his sets to the audience and the energy of each venue.
He explained his approach by saying: “Every song is linked to a new progression in the visual narrative…
“But I am always navigating the show and set differently depending on the country, the venue, and what the audience is reacting to.
“This way, I have specific moments I’m planning to premiere prepared while retaining the spontaneity that’s exciting about electronic music.”
The 38-year-old’s approach to live performances has evolved since the release of his debut solo album, ‘GENESYS’, in 2023.
He was initially figuring out how to translate his ideas into a live experience.
The DJ now feels more confident about the creative process behind his shows.
He said: “I was still learning how to world-build; I was more so reacting and making decisions in real time.
“Now I feel I’ve become more comfortable with the blueprint and I can focus more on the creation of the art itself.
“Versus the time we used to spend figuring out how we can even implement these themes or moments.”
Audience reactions, he added, continue to influence how his shows develop over time.
“More than anything, the reactions from the audience really help me shape the story, because with ÆDEN, I wanted the show to evolve with each performance.”
Anyma has performed at some of the world’s biggest music events and venues.
He recalled the moments that have stood out most in his career so far, saying:
“My New Year’s Eve performance at Sphere in Las Vegas and headlining Coachella are the most memorable career moments for me.
“Particularly performing ‘Bad Angel’ with Lisa.”
The Anyma project has grown significantly in scale since its inception during the pandemic.
It began as a personal creative experiment at a time when live music had come to a standstill.
Anyma said: “I wanted to experiment with how I could connect music and visual arts at a scale that hadn’t been done before.
“It’s pretty surreal to think of what it’s grown into now, but it’s obviously resonated with people all over the world.”
“I’m really just grateful to be able to keep world-building and that fans are interested and trusting enough to allow me to do so.”
Despite the scale of his productions, Anyma maintains that an emotional connection with the audience remains central to his work.
