DJ Piyush

He is a good kind of bad. His music is evil as sin. And he makes you lose all those inhibitions, leaving you totally vulnerable to great music. Off with his head! How dare he spread the party-contagion? We'll admit it; we're addicted. Wonder if they have rehabs for this.

DJ Piyush is the drug in question, and his claims to blame are Club, Progressive House and Trance. He just adores the Safri Duo, and is a self-proclaimed sucker for retro music. But the man is a people-person - he takes very little time to pick up on what the crowd wants to hear, and then puts on a show like no other. You can catch him at Bottles And Chimney, playing a different kind of tune every night of the week.

There is one heck of a story behind his initiation into DJdom. After high school he found himself with six months to kill. So, as a hobby, he just picked up on this craft. One thing led to another, and bam, the DJ in him was unleashed!

He started out with private dos, graduated to Pyramids, Spanish Fly and Where Else, among others, and now hops around the country doing what he does best. And the man has a way with words! You should catch him introducing new music (and he sure has a lot of that, most of which comes in from the UK). He throws in these nuggets of music-news, and you always learn something new.

Actually, get him to tell you the Calcutta-taxi-driver tale. He loves to say it and you'll love to hear it. Trust me.
