India had the twice-in-a-row #3 DJ play in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi thanks to Sunburn! Mumbai was the first city to be graced by Aviciiโs presence on Friday, December 6 2013. The Sherp reached the Mahalaxmi Race Course to find overly enthusiastic young girls shrieking โAviiiciiiiiii!!!โ โ which just augmented the excitement in the air!
Here are the highlights:
The Sherp reached the venue when Otto Knows was twenty minutes into his set, and he already had the crowd bouncing to his sounds! He dropped all kinds of house tracks, especially stuff from the Swedish House Mafia clan like Axwell & Dirty Southโs remix of Sweet Disposition, the vocal variation of Reload, Axwellโs remix of In My Mind and the fan-all-time-favorite Calling (Lose My Mind). Closing his set with โMillion Voicesโ was a spectacular moment!
Highlight: When he dropped Daft Punkโs โDoin It Rightโ.
There was a brief lull after Otto Knowsโ performance, but it felt like eternity for the fans that were yearning to see Avicii on stage! Finally, Mumbai got a glimpse in the dark of the young man wearing his signature cap โ and the moment he came on, we heard him play the exceptional โI Could Be The Oneโ. Needless to say, the crowd went absolutely deranged!
What followed was two hours of outright frenzy with chart-busters like Alessoโs mashup of Superlove vs. Sweet Nothing, Lana Del Reyโs โDance In The Waterโ and Ellie Gouldingโs mesmerizing โFall Into The Skyโ. The last ten minutes of his set consisted of โSeek Bromanceโ, โWake Me Upโ and he wrapped up the memorable night with a remix of One Republicโs โApologizeโ.
Highlight: Avicii pleasantly surprised us all by playing โWhite Noiseโ by Disclosure in the middle of his set!ย
