My playlist - DJ Girish

A 20-YEAR career has seen DJ Girish spin the biggest tunes at the hottest venues around the world, which includes a record breaking 13-year residency in Kolkata, private events, as well as sharing the stage with A-list stars.

He primarily plays dance music of various genres that include hip hop, old school, house, EDM, Bollywood and bhangra. The musical maestro has also produced songs, runs a DJ school and hosts a popular weekly radio show, available globally.


Eastern Eye got the dynamite DJ and radio host to select 10 songs he loves.

Return Of The Mack by Mark Morrison: This track has that 1990’s originality and pure r’n’b vibes with Mark Morrison’s infectious vocal quality. It’s an all-time classic.

Killer (Papa Was A Rolling Stone) by George Michael: This record was produced way ahead of its targeted listeners. So pop yet so disco, dark yet so bright, because ofits infamous music video.

Lady by Modjo: At a boring party this track will make me get up and start dancing. It’s house meets disco song and brilliant.

Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode: I love the original version and the Eric Prydz remix as well. I like the Depeche Mode vocals with all the contemporary electronic rock elements and the Eric Prydz remix for all the dance floor bomber reasons.

Another Way by Paul Van Dyk: This was the first ever trance record that I bought, so it has to be on my list of favourites.

Killertone by Ernesto and Bastian: It’s the melody of this classic trance anthem that still plays in my mind and sets me up for clubbing, and when I see flying aeroplanes.

Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim: This is the track that elevated my taste of music from hip hop and r’n’b to break beats. I still play this one.

One More Time by Daft Punk: Only a fan of Daft’s for this record and Around The World. It is house meets electro-pop from back in the days.

Circles by Post Malone: This has an enchanting groove and sing-along vocals on the chorus. I would love to cover this song on a guitar.

Hysteria by Def Leppard: This song reminds me of my growing up on rock music days. I bought at least three of their albums on cassettes only to hear the electronic drumming techniques of Rick Allen, their drummer with a single hand.

Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.
