Guetta's euphoric treat at Enchanted Valley Carnival

Grammy Award-winning DJ and music producer David Guetta does not need a magic wand or potion to enchant his fans -- his music does the trick. He got thousands grooving to his music at the Enchanted Valley Carnival at Aamby Valley, Lonavala.

Nestled at the base of a small hillock with lush greenery as the backdrop, the setting for the carnival at the Aamby Township made Guetta's performance at the second edition of the multi-genre music festival all the more mesmerising.

The festival started Friday with guests and attendees trickling down at the venue at relaxed pace, but when Guetta took to the stage Saturday, everyone was charged up.

Just like a wizard, Guetta first demonstrated a few steps and the audience repeated it as he belted out his famous tracks like "Titanium", "Shot me down" and "Love is gone".

Guetta also played new songs like "Dangerous" and his versions of hits like "Numb" from the band Linkin Park, Afrojack's "Ten feet tall" and Oasis' "Wonderwall".

"This is my second visit to the country and I am just loving it. I have came back after around two years and electronic dance music has grown so much, it is unbelievable," the French musician said during his performance.

Guetta's music was so infectious that it made everyone shake a leg to his beats and some fans even took their shirts off. Some shouted "We love you Guetta!" while others cheered till their voice became hoarse.

To boost the spirits of the audience, Guetta urged the crowd to "Give me some more" and the fans went into a frenzy.

If Guetta wowed the crowd, the Indian band Alien Chutney turned out to be a hit too.

Alien Chutney's band member and Bollywood actor-comedian-singer Vir Das rendered some silly songs, but they were different and relaxing as well. He also belted out some new numbers like "Ab ki baar".

Vir's music reminded the audience of their school days. He also played his popular track "Manboob" to an ebullient crowd.

Other performers of the day were DJ Anish Sood, Neev, band Madboy/Mink, and Dualist Inquiry, among others.

Camping, bonfire and barbecue -- the set-up at the fest was mystical. Even the stages were named in sync with the theme.

A party need not be all about loud music, and the fest's 'Silent party' reinforced this sentiment. 'Silent party', where headsets were distributed among the audience who could groove to their own set of tracks, definitely took the guests to a different zone.

Adding to the ambience, there was a tribal themed flea market. Due attention was given to food as well. From burgers, waffles to Italian cuisine to Indian rolls along with beverages, the food stalls had something to woo everyone's taste buds.
