“It’s techno with live guitars. It comes under the genre of electronic, but with rock influences. It borders a little of everything.” Bakshi says. “I guess my inspirations range from Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers to Cold Play and U2.” Ask Bakshi what it’s like to open for Guetta and he says, “Even though I may not listen to his songs everyday, I want to give him credit for making electronic dance music commercial. He obviously knows what the masses like.”

Twenty-two-year-old Anish Sood adds, “This is easily the biggest gig I’ve played. I have butterflies in my stomach. But hopefully I’ll be fine after playing a couple of songs.” Sood’s setlist primarily comprises house tunes including remixes of mash-ups and bootlegs of Cold Play, Adele and Oasis.

“A lot of Guetta fans aren’t people who go clubbing every weekend, so this is friendly music. I’ll play a relatively laidback set as I can’t even attempt to compete with Guetta,” Sood laughs. “Also check out my exclusive edit of We Are The People, by Empires Of The Sun.”
