MUMBAI: DJ Neil Armstrong says that hip hop as a genre is going to become a mainstay in the Indian music spectrum.
“Speaking from the hip hop angle, India seems poised for hip hop to become a mainstay in their music spectrum. There are already local boys and local Indian groups popping up, and I can just see it grow massively from there,” Armstrong told IANS when asked about his take on India’s growing DJ culture.
The musician is part of the first ever edition of Sneaker Pimps in the country that will happen here on Saturday, organised by Sneaker Pimps in association with PUMA.
