Zazo: Raunak please tell us from the start, when you started DJing, how its started and what is your family background etc.

Raunak: A child prodigy who started at young in this entertainment circuit in ma early teens has proved to be this generations most adorable & wanted DJ.
Apart from this i hav touched heart & souls through ma performance. i hav vowed that through ma Music will surely touch the hearts of million. i m also in constant experimentation and evolution, and constantly pushing boundaries of what the DJ can be…
4rm ..ma young age i was crazy abt music…5 yr back….i was watchin a ..
war of djz in b4u channel…i saw dat djz doin new stuff in music…givein der own beatz..
makin party animal “excuse 2 dance”
so ma mind clicked n said 2 me “raunak u can do it ,u can make ppl groove wit ur fingerz

Keeping in touch with the true rhythm of desi culture, Blending mixes of east and west, i had started stepping further to set a milestone in the field of remixz.

I make my own rule and i follow it, break it. Those who like my path they follow me..I make my own path to walk on it.. if any thing good or bad happens to me, i will be very happy as it was chosen/made by me …
There are thousands of faces behind me.. Sometime you find me loving and caring, sometime dominating, sometime rude.. I m very short temper but i become normal very soon.. If i love the person i can do any thing for his/her happiness.. But if i hate then its no way to get out… I never hate any one easily but i love ppl very easily… I believe in Tit-for-Tat Theory..
I have strong belief in Karma. If you will do bad will get worst. So never do any thing which hurts other.. Whatever God does he does for our betterment.. Its fruit of your bad Karma that you are unhappy.. So always do Good Karma to get rewards…
My nature is like water.. I can adjust in any environment.. Another feature of water is that it is a life supporting agent.. So i m like life supporting agent.. Water can also take your life.. So never ever play with me/water..
Air, Water and Fire are three key elements of life.. Respect these elements otherwise you will be in trouble.. Respect our Mother nature who give us food, shelter, etc.
There is Supreme Power “GOD” who make us do every thing.. So never curse GOD who created us.. I follow and respect every religion.. I go to Temple, Mosque, Church, Gurudwara, etc. I worship Shiva, I worship Allah.. My religion is Hinduism but i follow Humanity Religion.. It is superior than any other religion..
I work as a DJ and i m a great music hunk.. I m very funny person i always make people laugh.. But when i m Sad i find nobody beside me to share my felling.. :’(
This is only few point which is till discovered by me..
At the end i only want to say that.. Belive in God, do good Karma, Love everyone around you, respect our mother nature, and follow the religion of Humanity..

wat is a house musiz>>.
As the age of the DJ/producer arose in early 1980s, post-disco dance music entered one of its most fertile periods, bringing the likes of Chicago/New York house innovators Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan, and Ron Hardy. Known as the creative force behind the foundation of house music, these three built the style with the hypnotic “four-on-the-floor” drum sound, mid-tempo beats, and organic instrumentation found on early house labels West End Records, Salsoul, and Casa Blanca. It was the underground clubs the Warehouse and Paradise Garage in New York and Chicago that simultaneously broke the barriers of race and sexual preference, also acting as breeding grounds for the music
