What do you enjoy most about Indian music?
It has got such a mixture of world instruments, which sets it apart from other genres. However, I respect all kinds of music and I am already working on a few txracks that incorporate Thai instruments and Indian vocals backed by some amazing electronic beats.

What’s your play list going to consist of?
My own Bollywood remixes will be the first priority but I will also be spinning some upbeat U.K. Bhangra and electro-tribe.

What’s it like DJing in India?
In India it’s all about Bollywood, Bhangra, House and Hip-Hop. There is a lot of competition. Basically, you seem to run into someone claiming to be a DJ on every street corner. The key is to try to stand apart from the rest by experimenting with sounds that people aren’t used to and haven’t heard before.

Tell us about any previous experiences in Bangkok…
I was here last year for a private party for MTV. Bangkok has an amazing vibe thanks to the people itself. I definitely consider Thailand as my next favorite country after India, of course.
