The evening began which DJ Joe Mitri, who hosts a minimum of two weekly shows on QBS Radio 97.5 FM, by unleashing his unique spin on the sets.

Looking dashing in a white shirt, Aqeel took to the console around 11 pm playing to a packed house. He started the evening by dedicating tracks to the gorgeous women present at the show. What caught the fancy of the party hoppers was the way in which he spun some of his tracks at the console.
“Ladies in the house”, shouted Aqeel to get the party hoppers in the groove and spinning to some of his greatest hits. The remix night was indeed special with Aqeel's music and the spectacular light and sound effects only added to the magic.

Given to revelry, nothing holds the attention of the party people for long but hits like Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Billo Rani. He managed to get the crowd on the dance floor, swaying to his tunes. These tracks brought even the shy ones to the dance floor.

As the tracks at the console changed, the disco lights and the sounds synchronized well with it to whip up frenzy on the dance floor. With his unique mix and match at the console he gave to some of the already faded Bollywood songs a new shape and sound that went very well with the audience that comprised Indians, Arabs, Americans, Europeans and others.

Aqeel occasionally changed tracks and played English tracks which gelled very well with the mood and the ambience created by the spinning lights.

Some of his hits from Bollywood are Pehla Nasha, Mein Teri Hoon Jaanam, Ye Zameen, Keh Doon Tumhein, Tu Tu Hain Wahi, Are  Deewano.
