Dubai really goes out of its way to make everything perfect- including the nightlife!<\/p>\n

…and that’s where this particular gentleman comes in.<\/p>\n

Aneesh Gera<\/a> is the Director of Nightlife at Caesars Palace Dubai<\/a>…AKA he controls everything that goes into you have those smashing weekend nights!<\/h2>\n

You might even call him a ‘Vibe Advisor’- Aneesh<\/a> himself has approved that term!<\/p>\n

Aneesh<\/a> is the very first hire in this role at Caesars Palace Dubai- and with all the rager parties going on there, it’s safe to assume that he is a true genius in his craft.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A unique beginning, Aneesh<\/a> started working as a DJ at the very young of 17<\/h2>\n
\n

“I’m the guy who’s always been running against the grain”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Armed with his degree in audio engineering, he worked his way to the top. Just last week he was performing at the party central hub- Ibiza. He also lists playing for the Ministry of Sound in the UK as his “pinnacle.”<\/p>\n

But his favourite moment as a DJ has to be playing at home in Goa, India.<\/p>\n

The artist has a very step-by-step method when it comes to each production. He only ensures that the very best of his work goes out-<\/p>\n

\n

“My first challenge was hey can I write a decent piece of music? And when I thought I could do that, I went- Can I write something that’s world-class? Can I compete or be in the same realm as the Top 10 people in the planet?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

“A great DJ will play you something that you didn’t realise you wanted to hear”<\/h2>\n

That’s exactly what he tries to channel through his work- no matter where you choose to hear him.<\/p>\n

However, innovative work is not always quick to be accepted, which is probably why his latest record Jaipur<\/a> was rejected quite a few times when they first approached record labels! The song was written two years ago with co-artist Chitralekha Sen.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I got rejected by everybody, and then I was going to bin the record…[but] I have some very good people in my life who just went ‘look you’re nuts, you need to put this out’”<\/p>\n

And so he sent it out again until it reached (and got signed by!) The Future Sound of Egypt- a dance music royalty. Today, Jaipur- a progressive record with Indian vocals<\/a> is among the Top 10 on Beatport’s Progressive House Charts.<\/p>\n
