It was a Saturday night to remember for the party peeps at Underground as Lisa Manali trance Haydon dropped by. Around 10.55pm, the leggy actress strode into Opiium: The Huqqa Lounge at HHI where she met the hotel owners before making her way to the DJ’s console at Underground. Dressed in a black pant suit and a colourful stole, Lisa had the crowd at hello — in her case a smile and a flying kiss!
After interacting with the DJs and posing for pictures, Lisa got grooving to Boneless by Steve Aoki. “The people here are extremely friendly and guest DJ Mazhar seemed pretty cool. Wish I could stay for a longer period but I have an early flight to catch,” said the Queen star. #WeCan’tWaitToSeeYou
The mood at Underground lifted a notch or three when the resident DJs played Manali trance. With a smile on her face, The Shaukeens actress broke into some of the hot Manali moves, swaying her head and lip-syncing. “It was so nice of them to play my Manali trance song,” said Lisa. If she could pick someone to feature in the track alongside her, who would that be? “Asli Yo Yo Singh (Honey Singh, picture right)!” pat came the reply. With that Lisa smile in place, of course.
“When I was in my early teens I really used to go to clubs but now I like doing yoga, going for a massage or a walk. But my sister is a DJ so I do have to go to a club sometimes. Presently I am loving Sooraj dooba hai (Roy) a lot.... And I love minimal tech house,” said Lisa, seen here with Underground’s resident DJ Vikrant.
NUCLEYA RULED ROXY AT THE FREE GIG BY STAGE42 WITH T2
“Nucleya’s music is a perfect mix of desi with a twist of global feel that has such drops that it really makes you dance. What I like about this sort of music is, just when you are thinking the music is getting monotonous... whoop! The unexpected happens. Dubstep is like a roller-coaster ride, you never know when you’ll drop and when you’ll hit a high,” said Roshni Ali.
Srijita Majumder (right) had to fight her way into Roxy. “Oh my god, I had never seen Roxy so packed! Me and my friends literally had to jostle to enter. But in the end it was one happening night... Nucleya kept everyone on their toes!” she smiles.
Ejaz Siraj was one happy soul on Saturday night. “I have been waiting for Nucleya’s performance since the day I came to know he is playing. He totally blew everyone’s mind with the type of music he went on playing. His Run This Town mix was my personal fave,” said the Roxy regular.
“Being a dubstep and trap fan, I always try not to miss any such gig. This was the first time I watched Nucleya perform and his beats were sick! It was amazing how he got the crowd connected and people screamed F**k That Shit!” said Saptarshi.
