No remixes, no clubs: Akbar Sami
Discount, deny, do whatever...but what perhaps you cannot do to remixes is dismiss them. They can’t turn their heads around or overlook. Neither the numerous clubs sprouting in the country nor the crowd that drive those clubs. The only thing that needs to be redefined is the term remix itself. “Both the concept of clubs and remixes have been brought from the West. If you don’t have remixes, you don’t have clubs, it is as simple as that. You need to hear the best of old world melodies against new sound technology…Remix is a genre of its own,” DJ Akbar Sami addresses the moot point for the Nth time and silences his critics and even his followers alike.

As he announces the launch of his brand new single, Do it Again, from his up and coming album titled, Upgrade, he waxes eloquent about the Indo-western influences which inspired his creations.

Platter full of pleasure
Vegetarians don’t have it easy, especially in Italia. Even as Virgin Courtyard (VC), Chandigarh, launches its new winter menu, Chef Krishan Hari, backed by eighteen rich years of experience, makes it clear that vegetarians ought to stock up on appetisers, instead of banking on the main course. Thanks to small mercies, however, VC will not find many who complain in Chandigarh!
