Starting his DJ career in Bangalore some 13 years ago, Clitus is one of the few remaining DJ’s around that experienced the dance revolution throughout all its stages as it progressed in Bangalore.He is also currently the only DJ in India who exclusively plays his tunes on vinyl’s, as he believes that no form of digital recording can reproduce the true sine waves required for the true effect of music on the dance floors.

DJ Clitus has a pedigree of experience, making a lasting impression on clubbers everywhere with his uplifting funky sounds, peak time progressive sets.His mixes take elements from across the spectrum of funky, vocal, electro, Latino, tribal, and progressive house and create a harmonious melting groove. He is known across as one of the best live mixing Dj’s currently, including a set of scratching over the tracks playing.

The way his understanding of both melody and momentum can tease, taunt, and en-trance a dance floor before unleashing a record that will have people not just leaping up and down but bursting with emotion. The best DJs know that Dj’ing is first about being able to read the crowd and then being able to tap into that human experience and take it on a journey. Clitus has always been noted for being a master at this and it is this universal appeal that he has tapped into that has established his strong fan base.

Started of his career in Cochin but moved to Mumbai & worked with, renowned Dj Suketu for a year.. Then struck it on his own @ Clubs like J49 [Juhu], Scottish Arms [Mahim], Onyx [Pali Hill], Rasna Bar [Church Gate] and also doing a whole lot of corporate & Bollywood parties. After rocking Mumbai city for 5 full years he moved to Bangalore city and played in some of the hot spots in Bangalore like Latitude, Opium, Club X, Sparks, Cosmo Village. Finally settled down at Taika and kosmo as the resident DJ and still rocks even after 5 strong years there!

We really dont have a lot to complain about as the number of robberies are low do we?
