After Teri Miko started things off, French DJ-Producer Mykris stepped up the tempo at Road to Ultra music festival at the NESCO Centre in Mumbai with a fist-pumping set that got the audience all charged up to welcome Chico Rose. Photo Courtesy: Nascimento Pinto

If DJ Mykris set the stage on fire, Dutch DJ Chico Rose took it a step further bringing the old favourites in a new avatar and keeping the audience on their toes and in a unique trance that showed how much they missed some electronic dance music and were definitely in love with Rose's tracks.

If the other four performances were a pre-cursor of what is to come, then French producer and DJ, Daniel Francesco Tuparia, better known by his stage name Cesqeaux, turned out to be a pleasant surprise for all. He not only set the stage on fire but showed why he is all set to be among the best DJs in the world in the near future. With his onstage energy making people get out of their comfort zone, it was surely the highlight of the first of the festival. Photo Courtesy: Nascimento Pinto

With the crowded all charged up, James Hype did what he does best, turned up the tempo and got every single person to groove to the beat. Being his first time in India, he got all the love from the crowd who did not tire dancing to his tunes during the 50-minute set. Photo Courtesy: Nascimento Pinto

If there was one performance that everybody was looking forward to, it was that of Dutch DJ Afrojack, who has been a DJ, record producer and remixer for over 20 years now. Having last visited the city over three years ago, he played to a jam-packed arena, that time and again proves his unique approach to music with a few Indian favourites, that left people in total awe as they heard India tracks with a mix of electronic music, like they had never heard before.

The show ended on a high with American DJ KSHMR, who has Indian roots, playing not only some of his favourite tracks but also his newer unreleased tracks with the likes of Badshah, Raja Kumar and MC Stan, giving the audience a sneak peak into his upcoming music. Bringing the desi flavour to the show apart from the eternal favourites, he also did his take on 'Naatu Naatu' and 'Oo Antava', among others. Photo Courtesy: Nascimento Pinto
