With a number of international-level wins behind him,DJ Vikas J now looks forward to the release of his latest collection of original songs
Unlike most 20-year-olds,Vikas Jangamwad aka DJ Vikas J,does not spend his time hanging out with friends or worrying about work and college. He is usually found in his studio,composing or producing music for international radio shows and releasing them on online music stores. His remixes have been aired on international radio shows such as Bobby Friction’s show on the BBC Asian Network and on the South African dance radio channel,Lotus FM.
After his father realised that he was serious about music,the DJ got the go-ahead to pursue a sound engineering course and follow his passion. Since then,he has won many DJ contests,including the War of DJs that took place last year. Moreover in April this year,he was named India’s 6th best DJ by the website thedjlist.com,a worldwide directory for DJs. His most recent win is the Worldwide Official Remix Contest 2012. Organised by Bollywood music producer Amit Das and by British label Flava Records,DJs from all over the world were invited to remix Das’ song Dance Till Sunlight . “In my remix,I introduced genres such as progressive house,electronic and dubstep. My entry doesn’t belong to any one genre; this is why my track won the contest,” he points out.
