"I first heard the name Sanjay Datta at the unlikeliest of places - a rooftop in Guwahati! It was at an event I was playing at and a dj mentioned that I
had to hear Sanjay play given a chance. Little did I know that he was on his way to my gig. Sadly he missed it and we've been playing this cat and
mouse game to each other's shows ever since. His reputation preceded him everywhere and needless to say, I couldn't wait to hear this genius behind
the decks. When I did eventually trudge over to his gig with a single-minded focus that nothing would stand in my way, I was sorely
disappointed. At myself that is... for missing out on his music for so many years! Since then, I can honestly say, he is the only dj (I really mean
that) in India I truly respect. Not just for always standing his ground and playing the music he believes in - a task easier said than done as a dj
here, but for being the encouraging gentle giant he is for so many new djs entering the scene. He has been indefatigable in building a strong base for
Electronic Music in India. Even though today, the rush of talent is happy to stand on this plinth he helped create, he is still unflinching in his
efforts to keep it strong.
He has turned into a good friend over the years, albeit an emotional mushpot at times. We've shared many a pessimistic moment together about the
scene here, but it always ends in a laugh with Sanjay. He is the kind of contemporary and friend everybody should have. The kind who gives you that
get-on-with-it-pat-on-the-back you need ever so often. Little do people know that behind that tough burly exterior lies not just a mine of talent, but a
heart of gold as well"

"Apart from being one of the funniest people I know, Sanjay is an absolute ace DJ. His sets have reached legendary status !! Knowledge and experience have put him on top of the game and if we ever have a Hall Of Fame in India, Sanjay would undoubtedly be in it !"
- Arjun Vagale, Jalebee Cartel
"There is no substitute for experience or class, both of which 'Dada'
(which means Big Brother) as we all like to call Sanjay, has in
abundance of. A Dj who has withstood the test of time and continues to
push the boundaries with his fantastic ear and incredible sense for
quality electronic music."
- DJ Tanseer Jabbar
"Besides being a fantastic DJ, Sanjay is a fantastic person. A mentor to many, a friend to all! A DJ's DJ. More power to you Sanjay!"
- DJ Tuhin Mehta
"DADA...the man full of energy....know him for the past five years and he has always been a brother...i will never forget the fact that he was the guy who taught me how to set up a turn table.... he is one of the very few djs who stuck to his policy of spinnin the style he truly liked....will always respect him for that ...love the energy in his sets....wishin him all the best for this journey to continue forever....rock on DADA...."
- DJ Chubby
"Dj Sanjay Dutta, i prefer calling him "The Beast from the East" one of the best DJ's i have heard and seen playing.
Nobody builds a set like him. complete and full on energy to say the least. Most importantly one of the nicest guys i have ever met."
- DJ RAY V
"Amongst all the Indian djs I've heard by far, when it comes to progressive music there is none better than you. You always play them sounds to perfection. Great job. Keep rocking like always."
- DJ Ajit, Titos, Goa
"If i've ever seen a person or a dj who is so dedicated; one who could easily transfer his energies and his love for music towards the masses simply by playin quality stuff, that's gotta be Sanjay Dutta!"
- DJ Arnold, Mumbai
"A larger than life dj (all puns intended), one of the most genuine persons in the industry, and one who has never ventured far from quality."
- DJ Nawed Khan
"There is not much to say about a dj who in my opinion is the best that there is in India. There is no one better to read a crowd, his sound is groovy and sexy and could drive a dance floor full of clubbers through the roof!! He has been around for as long as i can remember, and i only hope that this modest, soft spoken gentleman can still keep going for ever"
