DJ Khanvict - AKA Asad Khan, is a multi-genre west coast DJ hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia. Starting off as everybody’s favorite local block DJ at private house and college parties, Khanvict decided to venture deeper into the industry, performing at local shows and fundraisers, all while pursuing his bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering. Developing a strong passion for the art, Khanvict decided to turn professional after heavy recruitment from Vancouver-renowned Aftershock Roadshow. Under their steady tutelage and guidance, Khanvict was able to make a name for himself, spinning at various wedding receptions and nightclubs all around Vancouver. Khanvict’s comprehensive music library, natural feel for the crowd, and his everlasting love and passion for a good beat meant that the progression from a bedroom enthusiast to a highly recruited DJ at major events happened swiftly.

Friday morning I was in Toronto & got in to work at 8am. Left work and headed straight to the airport only to meet my old nemesis from all the flying this summer – flight delays. Didn’t get to Vancouver till super late and barely got any sleep on the plane, so by the time it was Saturday afternoon and I was gearing up for the gig, I was already feeling a lot like a zombie. I got my turntables set-up in my room, set up my cues and did a few warm up sets for later that evening.
Once at Jhankaar, Harp (Dj Aftershock) & I put together an amazing setup – see above – and both did some warm up sets as the crowd walked in. We were both geared up and ready to go when 15 minutes before opening the dance floor one of the CDJ1000′s (turntable) decided to flop on us. We are both Engineers, so we did some troubleshooting to get it going temporarily but this CDJ’s demise was inevitable and I had to start the party with just one deck.
Luckily all went well, Harp was able to jet home and grab an extra CDJ and within half an hour we were back up & running without and disruption to the guests!
Once the party got going it was just a small reminder of why dj’ing is so worth flying across the country, running on no sleep and putting up with all the extra work – the crowd! Yuva hosted Jhankaar 2011 to a sold out crowd who were in complete party-mode all night long. The floor remained packed for the entirety of the event and from the feedback we’ve got so far its clear that everyone had a great time.
I’m in Zombie-mode again at work, flight back to Toronto landed at 6:17am and I was at work for 8am, but ask me if I’d do it all over again & I’ll tell you that I’d do it every single weekend if I could.
Big ups to all the Yuva Execs for putting up an amazing show & having us at their event, to Pearl Banquet Hall for all the help & to Duniya for hosting the event as the MCs.
