When I made my first Sarkar, the principal motivation for me was to create a character more powerful than Mr.Bachchan ever performed. Sarkar is not just about the physical aspects of power, but It is also about an ultra quiet intensity in how he demonstrates it.

We seldom interview trance DJs at MTV News, but back in 2005 we managed to interview the big three: Paul Van Dyk, DJ Tiesto, and Armin van Buuren. And while our conversations with each of them were stellar, our encounter with with the Dutch van Buuren is the one that stuck with us most. With his album Shivers (featuring the hit single "Who Is Watching" featuring Nadia Ali) having just dropped, we decided to take things to Devi in New York to chat about dance music's past and present over some Palak Paneer, Tandoori lamb and warm roti. There is a certain pleasure one can definitely take away from treating a DJ to his first Indian meal.
"Dance music was a reaction against song structures," van Buuren told MTV News in 2005. "People just got tired of it. Dance music goes back to a magic feeling that's in every human being,...
