Dj Batuta aka Sunny
----------------------
Musical Roots
” After silence, something which expresses the inexpressible is music ”
Broke the silence of the world with my amusing crackle on 7 th December 1976 , the day I walked on this earth. Music became my predilection, passion and subsequently my life as I grew up tuning and taming the strings of guitar to make them hum on my notes. My interest spawned unfathomably from spanned jazz; classical; rock; hip-hop; disco; funk; country; anything! I loved everything: Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, old-skool roots stuff like Trojan, rock like The Doors and Santana. You have to give Santana his props, he was amazing! I am in complete awe of the work of art in music done beautifully; the huge collection of vinyl & cds in my room symbolizes this appreciation. My collection is from literally every spec of time when music had left its golden trail in different genres. As a young kid I was deeply into disco, hip hop, pop, rock but started cruising to Electronic Music at the age of 16, when a friend handed me couple of cds from Holland . After listening to them my heart just said.... Damn! This Rocks!
Music speaks nothing but sound! –The art of Djing
The DJ isn't on display really, you have to seek that person out, it works in reverse. People are there to have a good time and you gotta read and understand the room. That's how music comes to me: Fundamentals. It's all about sound, not flash and that's why Soundsystems is my forte.
Electronic Music smitten Delhi
I was one of the first DJs playing House Music when its wave struck the capital of India ( New Delhi ). That's what I grew up with, my first love. Besides having played to large crowds at private parties to big events I have also put together live acts with a Bass Guitarist and Percussionist. I also re-edit tracks by messing around with the arrangements not the content. It's just for my own sets because I might need a longer period to mix something in... A lot of DJs do that now.”

Music Styles .. The MIX
All styles of HOUSE, FUNKY BREAKBEATS, TECHNO and some other twisted genres that could grab my ATTENTION!!
“I always loved a certain level of risk taking when it comes to my DJ mixing. Marrying the most awkward music together often turns out to be crazy and sexy. And I strongly believe that if it's done right, it'll compliment the artists work while challenging the listener's mind. It's all a matter of momentum, like time does not exist anymore.
My favourite time to DJ is at a private party, in a loft, at six in the morning, when everyone's completely fucked up. I just like to hit them on the brain with the music, just play the wackiest, weirdest shit. I really enjoy it – not for cliché' reasons of fame/money – but on an education level. I want to educate myself by experimenting more with it.
The Future
“Right now I'm focused on getting my first album together and looking for the right label to release it on; it's on its way, My ideas are down, and I'm going to make a record with a few dance pieces. It's going to be more eclectic, more downtempo, more loungey and experimental. . . . . . . . . . . .
