Multi genre music festival, TIMEOUT 72 is currently gearing up to makes its highly awaited debut in Vagator, Goa this December! And now following the announcement of multi-platinum recording artist Jason Derulo and Martin Garrix as their first headliners, they have revealed that 26 year old Delhi-based DJ, AAMISH Underground, who is India’s first differently-abled DJ will be officially opening the music festival.
Citing Sir Paul Johnson, an American DJ on a wheelchair and music as his source of inspiration, Varun Khullar has broken all stereotypes by being one of the few DJs who play on a wheelchair. Talking about this incredible new addition to the festival lineup, Vaishal Shah, Founder, TIMEOUT 72 said in a statement:
“Our festival operates from the core belief of purpose and passion and we are very happy to welcome Varun on board. We will ensure that he will get the same respect as other DJs and will play in front of an audience that won’t judge him basis his disability, but on the basis of his expertise. “
AAMISH Underground who is wheelchair-bound from a spinal cord injury, also spoke about his upcoming stint saying:
“Deejaying is the only passion I live for. This is the first time I’m performing at a music festival and I’m very happy that finally there is a music festival in the country unlike other commercial players, who is considering people like me instead of chasing only established talent.”
