Genre of choice: Funky house, with percussive tribal overtones
Nikhil Chinapa's love affair with house music began in the early nineties, in his hometown, Bangalore. Roger Sanchez, Robin S, Nightcrawlers and Todd Terry's early experiments with bass infused jazz and disco driven house found an ardent fan in him.
His style of playing crowd friendly funky house, with percussive tribal overtones, ensured a steady stream of gigs. DJ Nikhil moved easily from playing bars filled with 150 people to opening sets for the multi-city Smirnoff Experience parties in India, playing to crowds of 5000 clubbers. His sets combine a balanced blend of fresh tunes from dance-floors around the world, and the occasional crowd-pleasing floor filler.
Nikhil now plays regularly at clubs and bars in Bombay (Squeeze, Aurus, Red Light, Seijo), Pune (Lush), Chennai (Speed), Calcutta (Tantra, B.E.D), Delhi (Elevate, Capitol, Rick's), Bangalore (Fuga) and Hyderabad (10 Downing street. Along with DJ Pearl, Nikhil is one of Smirnoff India's "residents", and freelances at other venues when time permits from his Mtv calendar.
