Progressive house DJ Norman Doray is back in India for the 5th time in two years with a better-than-ever set. The Frenchman tells Bhairavi Jhaveri why engaging with hot girls is the biggest perk of being a DJ

When did you figure you wanted to DJ?
I've loved music but I was involved in sport, especially surfing. I was a pro-surfer back in France. After I left France to pursue academics, I decided to take up music.

What kind of music did you begin playing, and how much has your style changed over the years?
I used to play soulful vocal and melodic house. My style has now changed since I play for a larger crowd. Now it's more Big Room stuff, but still melodic. That will never change.u00a0

How different is nightlife in France when you compare it with that across the globe?
France used to be a big place for electronic music, and nightlife in general. Now, it's not. There are too many laws, restrictions, and people prefer staying at home. They don't go out anymore because they can't drink, smoke... they can't have fun. I think they are really fed up with the DJs too. That's not the case in India. That's why I love India!
