DJ Amit / Equinox

This writer's MPD manisfests itself in many ways - hostile lunatic (don't tick her off), raving psychophant (ask the boss - he is never wrong), incredible beauty (don't believe that? she did say 'incredible') and a woman of few words (yeah, right!). Anyway, the deal is that the conflicting alter egos do not agree. And that is the whole point of being conflicting. And Dr. Phil is outta town.

So we did the next best thing. We hooked up with Dr. DJ Amit. He drowned all the noise in our head by drowning the ears in all kinds of pleasing noises. Woo hoo, oxymoron. The dude is the crown prince of Hip-Hop, the whole duniya loves him for it. And he loves East Coast for it. Even when it comes to Progressive House, he is a class act.

Amit's been DJing for 15 years! And Hyderabad has dominated his priority for the last 5 of those. After playing at Calcutta, Chennai, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Delhi... well, all over the place, he found Hyd and succumbed to its charms. And now he's started his own club, Equinox, right here.

He predicts the return of the 80s kinda music, and staunchly believes that Hindi remixes, though crowd magnets, are but ephemeral. Amen! Any new music released in the US or UK is promptly shipped off to him and he has a knack for slipping them in his routine discreetly.

Amit is also your 'go to' guy for dope on the laid-back lounge, ghazal and soft rock. He is extremely approachable and perfectly cool with playing requests, for, as he puts it so well, "When three hundred people are having a great time, it blurs every divide." Hmm... profound. And we know that Amit will do whatever it takes to ensure that everyone has a great time.
