Down memory Lane..

The year -2005.

 

Shiny Disco Disco Disco Balls.

At the inauguration of our new Office campus , we had invited DJ Lloyd and Oh! some ministers and the Police Commissioner too but... let's skip that for now and go to the interesting part. Girls...
Yep lots of them in all sizes,color,shapes and ages. Haii.. one looked so much like Steffi Graf.

Well I did get a few shocks...like when this young beautiful lady came up to me, looking lost .I asked her if there was a problem and she smiled and said she wanted a balloon .Well her wish was my command and so I rushed to my cubicle and gave her the one which was hanging on my monitor. She was delighted .. you should have seen her face .. she thanked me and said " It's for my son " .... you should have seen my face.

After lunch and some 4 cups of ice-cream , it was the DJ's turn to entertain us and boy was he good. He started off with my fav " Teri tho Teri tha " from the Bombay Rockers .

The sound system was amazing ... and the Dance floor was filled with all types of people .. kids got the most attention.. there was this one kid ..aged 3.. who just jumped up and down for like 2 hours. I’m sure at the end of the day, he lost a couple of pounds :).

DJ Lloyd cleverly mixed and matched the songs and then I realized that being a DJ was all about taste .... and Huge Monstrous Speakers.. He played all the regular songs apart from 1 song, which he refused to divulge ( Grr ). Oh and nowadays its tradition to play a tappangucchi Tamil song ... he played " Manmatharasa " the crowd loved it,, they didn't know which language it was but they loved it .He never played my other fav " What is love " by Haddaway( *#$#@# ) .

Pics later…

Vc's guide to be a DJ :
1. Color your hair white, pink, green,red .. the more "eye-catching" the better.
2. Wear an earring.
3. Chew Gum and keep nodding your head.
4. Get all your DJ mixes from the local National Market for Rs 50.
5. 10,000 watt speakers: beg borrow or steal this is a must.
6. Cross fading software available for download free on the net.
7. I'm eating a peda , want some.
8. A turntable : well the DJ box has everything , so gone are the days when the TT's were a rage.
9. Watch the music channels for the latest R&B hits and use "London’s urban-underground music scene" , "groovy", "Latino ","wicked", "wild" and "Shakira" in your sentences.


Bangalore has so many talented Dj's but the best has got to be DJ IVAN. Listen to his choice of music on 101.3 FM, Saturday 7 to 10 pm. It’s totally wicked !!
