The Skooldayz parties in India

While the pop and rock stars a few decades old, U2 to Aerosmith, George Michael to Kylie Minogue, are still hot worldwide, if it’s Calcutta, crowds seem happy and at home with not only the faces, but the vintage music from back in the day, too.
While in other cities, techno and trance rule the nightclubs, here, the crowd isn’t satisfied unless the evening winds up and down with a few tracks that would be considered oldies elsewhere, says DJ Ivan from Bangalore, who was in the city this weekend, mixing it up at Winning Streak.
The disco at The HHI kicked off a series of “back-to-school evenings and nights called Skooldayz.
“The Skooldayz concept is big in the UK. It’s essentially about recreating the sonic environment for people who went to school around two decades ago,” explains Ivan. “It’s easy to dismiss it as mere nostalgia, but people enjoy the music they grew up with”, he adds.
So tracks like Michael Jackson’s Billy Jean and Beat It and Madonna‘s La Isla Bonita and Like A Virgin “is the type of thing they dig”.
