 
The expertise in mixing the grooves
and keeping dancers on the floor till the early hours of dawn is an art
which DJs have perfected in our music industry and are popular too
running parallel to music bands. The legendary trio Kapila, Naushad and
Harith - the KNH Project - return behind the console to make their trend
setting impact on March 28 at the H2O, 9.00 p.m. onwards.
The trio during their halcyon days at the Blue Elephant created a
unique style that was a must in every revellers night agenda in the
early 90’s. Their magic formula will surely keep the groovers on their
feet until night turns into morn. “KNH project Revival” on Saturday,
March 28 is a happening that becomes a reality by popular demand.
“KNH comeback is the mastermind of DJ Kapila who had always wanted to
do something different, a project different from other DJs in Sri Lanka,
to encourage them to have an identity of their own. And we can proudly
claim that KNH have an identity that has resulted in many fans’, says
Harith who intends following drum classes.
 Recalling
memories of the successful Millennium Party the trio organised at the
North Lawn - Taj Hotel Harith exclaims “what a night that was! It was
for all those who had to work during the dawn of the millennium”.
When KNH are not together mixing the music behind the console they
are busy with their day time jobs. Kapila is the Food and Beverage
Manager at the Hilton Colombo, while Harith is involved with John Keells
Resorts as Assistant Manager of Food and Beverage Operations. As for
Naushad he runs his own Jungle Juice Bar and ‘Movie and Music Store’ and
is a honourary DJ at various popular night spots in Colombo.
In a quick spool back KNH released their first remix CD “Years of
Deejaying” in 1999 and followed it up with another success story in
their e-mix for Shaggy’s tour of Sri Lanka in 2000 of ‘It Wasn’t Me’.
The good news is that the trio is working on a new CD containing three
Sri Lankan songs remixed to hip-hop beats and we are told that it will
be something to look forward to.
In the meantime re-new your friendship with KNH Project and catch
their modern beats and you can be sure that at H2O on March 28 you are
in for a dynamic late late show!
