Goaaah in the city!

In the 13 years that DJ Rinton D’Souza has played it up at the console, this is the first time he’ll be ringing in the New Year outside of Goa — a place that he calls home. After back-to-back buzzing sets at two massive beach festivals in Goa, the 30-year-old is now set to show Bengaluru how to party at the rockin’ New Year’s Eve gig at Indigo Live Music Bar, tonight.

“After all the music festivals in Goa, Bengalureans will have returned with warm memories and resounding tunes and I’m going to help them relive the cocktail of DJs they may have listened to,” says the DJ who primarily plays a blend of progressive, trance and electronic dance music.

Not one to have inspirations that are set in stone, Rinton finds the ephemeral nature of the world of DJing most stimulating to perform in. A local favourite — thanks to being the coveted resident DJ at clubs like Titos, Mambos and SinQ, music is something that was always on his mind. “In fact, my parents hadn’t even heard of DJing before, until a friend who was already on the scene came along.

They had been tiatrists for a long time and have been involved in tiatr – a musical theatre popular in Goa,” says Rinton, who has now started training those interested in DJing too. “I always tell my students that it’s not always about finishing the course — it’s going to take time, like everything else in life. No gig is too small – start off by playing at a friend’s party for instance, and it’ll all pick up one day. It’s all about building a name, something that money can’t buy,” he says.

After playing to packed houses for Sunburn and Supersonic after parties, 2015 was a big year for Rinton as he made his debut on the big stages for the same festivals. “You could say it was one of my proudest moments,” he smiles. After a brief stint in Dubai, he may be back at his home turf in Goa, but he’s excited to be celebrating New Year’s for the first time outside of the beach town.

“Even before Goa became something of a music scene, Bengaluru was the place to be. DJs like Ivan would bring something new in terms of music all the time. If we were good enough to play in Bengaluru, it meant that we had arrived,” says Rinton, gearing up to play for a fun, young Bengaluru.
