Umang Holi Festival 2k19

Hussain is a professional DJ based out of the IT capital of India, Bangalore. In spite of playing for some of the biggest nightclubs and also having an ardent fan following in this city, his experience from playing at clubs and private parties allowed him to unearth a formula for producing music which he calls re-produced. Often performing in different cities, Hussain’s events in Dubai, Istanbul, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Bali, Maldives, etc. have enhanced his international reputation as one of the top DJs from India. DJ Hussain is an indivisible part of any successful party. He has developed aberrant techniques of mixing club music with desi beats which he uses diligently.  

He started his career in the entertainment industry as an assistant DJ in 2013. Hassan shifted gears rather quickly, and within a short span of time, he has emerged globally not only as a popular DJ but also as a smart producer, arranger, remixer, event manager and above all, a wonderful entertainer. Being an international artist, Hassan has played in various music festivals and concerts in Doha, Sri Lanka, and Dubai. 

And there is one thing which people generally don’t know about Hassan. He plays with only one hand. Yes, after a tragic bike accident a few years back, his right hand got completely paralyzed. In spite of such a huge setback, his love for music never fiddled away. Hassan single-handedly mastered the art of Deejaying, and in this case, he literally nailed it ‘single-handedly’. 

At a time when music was losing its luster and remixes were infamous, came a man who changed it all. DJ Suketu.

A Times Music discovery way back in 2001, he has churned out some of the most successful and loved remixes of all time. His skills were nurtured by 4 times UK champion and 2 times world champion DJ Cut Master Swift at the DMC (Disco Mixing Club) headquarters in Burnham. Soon after this DJ Suketu went on to win the DMC in 1999 and became the number 1 DJ in Mumbai and India and represented India in the World DJ Mixing Championships in New York.

He released his first album '440 Volts' in 2002. His single 'Pyar Zindagi Hai' entered the charts at no.1 and parked itself there for 8 weeks. He followed it up with 'Bin Tere Sanam' which is his wildly successful party anthem . 'Bin Tere Sanam' was an overnight sensation. It debuted at number 1 on the Indi pop charts and stayed there for 20 weeks! It was one of the most frequently played tracks in nightclubs all over not only India but the world and can be rightfully called the remix of the decade. Later that year, the track was recognised as the highest selling remix in the history in Indian music and was awarded the Best Remix Of the year by MTV India.

DJ Suketu has worked with many composers on numerous projects. Among a few are Pritam, Adnan Sami, Shankar Ehsan Loy, Himesh Reshamiya and Vishal Shekhar.

'Woh Lamhe' wasn't just the biggest remix of year, it remains timeless and an eternal favourite of millions. 2004 was a double whammy year for DJ Suketu with the release of 'Kya Khoob Lagati Ho' another chartbuster . Along with fame and fan following came the respect and adulation of the music industry. He was awarded by HMV Sa Re Ga Ma an
