For those who know Hunterz, will only remember one song by him â âRehleâ, although his entire first album was a brilliant piece of work.
Phat Trax Vol1 throws in the uber-urban edge, with more MC snippets, catchy choruses and sharp beats. With a lot of UK influence on the album, we hear a few up-tempo tracks like Aja Soniyeh.
To have a 20 year old DJ fly in from overseas to entertain a crowd which is demographically on the senior edge is already quite a hard stunt to pull. But then to see the same 20 year old DJ make the crowd lose control in the club, that is phenomenal. From 1.30 am onwards, DJ NYK, Indiaâs youngest # 1 DJ, was rocking the exclusive Champagne Room at Sugar to celebrate Year of the Dog on Chinese New Year.
After taking a short tour of Lan Kwai Fong and the adjacent SOHO area, NYK walked into Sugar to a packed house of anticipation and a lot of whisky being poured on ice. With support from the infamous 3 Phat DJs, host and organiser MC-G stepped up to the stage to welcome to the young superstar to Hong Kong. He sure made his presence with a dramatic audio intro that bewildered most of the crowd with excitement, for them to then hear the faint vocals of âJHALAKâ (from the movie Aksar) humming over deep house grooves through the massive sound-system.
DJ NYK kept it pumping for hours, and even party-whores like myself couldnât last! We hope to welcome back DJ NYK and hopefully have more DJs like him touch down in HK. Special credit and thanks goes to the sponsor Sunny Lakhwani, support DJs, promoters and organisers â the 3 Phat DJs, MC-G and Asian Flava.
