Beach parties — the raison d’être for day-trippers in Goa — reached the crescendo in the ’70s. The local populace brought their guitars out and tourists often carried their old psychedelic records. The days of yore also laid the rave foundation but the state acquired a global music stamp when a young clubber and a jockey (disc and video) launched Electronic Dance Music (EDM) by the blue waters in early 2000. Being a television face already, Nikhil Chinapa could rule the crowd. So what if Sunburn (his former project and brainchild) and Vh1 Supersonic are not happening in Goa anymore, the 43-year-old has designed a boutique-like intimate festival, titled Wonderwall, to make amends.
