Manchester resident Richard Murray added the prefix DJ to his name by accident. He sold a television set to a stranger in his apartment block, and the two hit it off. When Murray spun a few records at the stranger's place a few weeks later, he was offered the chance to do it fulltime. The stranger turned out to be Matt Stuart of Ministry of Sound the London-based nightclub revered by clubbers worldwide.

Over a decade since that fateful meeting, DJ Murray has wowed audiences at clubs the world over and this weekend, he will try to win over a raucous bunch of people at Shiro. "Music these days is varied, so every territory you play can be very different. In India, apparently, House music works well." We ask what this weekend's audience can expect. "Crazy stuff," he replies. "Hopefully, the crowd will bring along a lot of energy."
