Basement Bhangra

Basement Bhangra official site | Basement Bhangra on Facebook | Basement Bhangra on Twitter

DJ Rekha’s Basement Bhangra is a 19-year plus New York City institution singularly responsible for popularizing Bhangra on this side of the Atlantic.

Seti X (aka Mandeep Sethi)

SetiX aka Mandeep Sethi (Sounds of Extraterrestrial Intelligence ) is a regiment of future focused conscious thinking; an overstanding that we do not stand alone here on Planet Earth, but rather we are individual reflections of our ancient alien ancestors. The output of SETI X is reflected through a manipulation of color, light, sound, and energy and is guided by the natural forces of the galaxy. The Sounds of Extraterrestrial Intelligence have arrived on Planet Earth.

Sikh Knowledge

Sikh Knowledge brings an upgrade to Desi Booty tunes dropping original riddims, ragga-bhangra, RE-based folk jams, and original remixes of his own design fresh for the new year. He recently produced the IISuperwoman|| and Hunble the Poet collaboration ‘IVIVI.’
