ask them what songs they want to hear, Im saying that by assuming they are indian & therefore only like indian music is prob not the best approach. I have a few indian friends & ne of them listens to 2pac religiously. My advice would be assumptions are the mother of all fuck ups.

Depends if they are of Indian descent, or if they are Indian.

A lot of the bar staff and glass-collectors at one place I play are Indian students, in the UK to study, and they LOVE me because I throw a bit of Bhangra in the mix for them sometimes. No other DJ there does.

Basically, Panjabi MC - Mundian To Bach Ke is the tester track. Everyone loves it, no matter where they're from, but if you see the Indian contingent go particularly crazy, then it might be worth tracking down some good Bhangra or Bollywood hits and cutting them into your sets a bit.

A few years ago I got loads of great track ideas from this thread:

My friend does Indian jams quite a bit. Apparently this track does really well!
