1. The nitrogen cannons.

I discovered them in Dubai and had initially planned to have them at Sunburn Goa, but we couldn’t put the plan together in time. But I’m super kicked we got them for Mumbai. For those that got a face-full of super-chilled Nitrogen, you know how AMAZING it was.

2. The MASSIVE LED panels and graphics

Designed by Immersive, one of the world’s leading visual effects company that does most of Eric Prydz’s visuals as well. We flew them in from London.

3. The Line up.

For me, the sets of the festival belonged to John Dalhback, Fergie, Pearl, DJ RayG, Arjun Vagale and Gareth Emery… they were all mind altering.

4. The confetti streamers

We set them off at the end of the festival. It was the perfect ending to a spectacular three days at Sunburn Mumbai.

5. The food!!

Did you try it? All of it was just delicious. As my buddy Hermit Sethi said, its the best he’s ever had at any event/festival… and I agree.
