Titi Nagwalla, who works with DJ Darius, recalled the fateful day, saying something was off.
“Even as the show began, I could feel something wasn’t right. I had no fire. The songs were great, but deep down, I felt empty.
"DJ Darius, my brother, my colleague, was restless. His mix was off. When I gave him the mic, he was flat. He kept stepping out to take calls,” Nagwalla said.
