It is said that music is the food for the soul. Something like this happened at the b-bar, Select City Walk recently.

DJ Nic Thompson from London was the DJ of the Night at the restaurant-cum-bar. Although this was not his first visit to India, Nic seemed pretty excited.

“I really am not sure what I am going to play and how it is going to go,” says Nic, adding that it will be according to the atmosphere prevailing at the venue.

The DJ has a strong connection with India. He explains the time when he was in India. The tattoo on one hand and Bam Bam Bole (in Hindi) on the other clearly explains his love for the country. The artist says that India is a country of possibilities. “I have been in India many times and India feels like a home to me as much as England.”

Noting that he likes so many things about India, Nic says, “India is such a bright and warm place. I believe that the people of India are relaxed and less interfering. When I was 18, I came to India for the first time and I am special attached to the environment here.”

Before his performance, Nic shares his style of playing and believes that music comes from the moment. He denies the idea of playing a single genre. “The main I play is house, techno, disco and deep music but I am quite collective with my music. I believe that there is a right song for the right moment. So, I try to play that way. I don’t think I should be defined to one genre.” says Nic.
