The pigeonhole performance area at Bonobo — a bar in Bandra that also hosts gigs — was full beyond capacity. People had put their drinks down, waiting in anticipation to stomp their feet to Voctronica, a city-based a capella and beat-boxing outfit. "What's the deal?" we remember wondering. "Are these guys that good?" we asked ourselves. But it didn't take long for this befuddlement to get cleared. For, as soon as the six-member act started their set, the high-energy performance with impeccable synergy brought the house down to such an extent that we were left gaping in awe at their proficiency.

But the member of the unit who stood out for us was also its youngest. Raj Verma was barely 20 years old when he had the audience literally dancing to his tunes at this gig. Here was a prodigiously talented beat boxer who held the set together like glue while the others took centre stage, and then burst into his own when the time came for him to perform solo, pulling off such incredible musical feats using only the human anatomy that it beggared belief.
