Can you imagine three popular DJs like Rohit Barker, Justin Mason and The Phoenix battling it out in the war of the DJs and yet there is complete silence in the club?

Walk in and hire a pair of headphones at a deposit of Rs 500. Then you have a choice of tuning into three different channels where DJs Rohit Barker will play Funkiest House, The Phoenix will entertain you with his trance sets and Justin Mason will take you through high octane dance music. Feel free to switch channels and dance to your favourite genre of music whenever you feel like.u00a0u00a0
