'SOS Nitelife', an exclusive platform for female Disc Jockeys got the winners of its third India chapter on November 17 during Imagica's prominent entertainment offering 'Imagica By Night'. Top 15 Djanes from India participated in the star-studded grand finale of the Female DJ Championship held at Imagica in Mumbai.
DJ D'Shelz and DJ Neit Kaur were declared the joint-winners of the 2018 Queen of Mashups India chapter. DJ Zoya Iman emerged as the first runner-up, DJ Adda was named the second runner-up, DJ Donna was the third runner-up, DJ Palak was named fourth runner-up while DJ Varsha emerged as fifth runner-up.
15 talented djanes set the stage on fire with their musical numbers but in the end, the judges chose two joint-winners. The musical evening was attended by many who were seen grooving to the songs played by these talented ladies behind the music consoles. Imagica added thrill and excitement to the evening with their unique attractions and rides, under the night sky, and an ambience of feet tapping music to enthral guests. A delectable range of F&B awaited each at the Imagica restaurants, and splendidly lit Imagica Castle in the backdrop of the musical evening spelled magnificence.
The winner of this competition will be representing India in the next year's Global Championships - an exclusive contest for world's top female disc jockeys.
The audience was enthralled by the tunes of popular dance numbers played by the talented ladies behind the music consoles. All the guests were in awe of Imagica and SOS Nitelife's arrangements, grandeur and hospitality.
These talented young ladies were judged by a jury comprising DJ Akbar Sami, DJ Akhtar and TV host Naved Jafri.
