w/ Radio Scotvoid

Beat Research is proud to bring The #1 Bhangra Selecta in the US (and maybe the world) to the phat ass speakers at the GL! DJ, curator, record label owner, educator and activist, DJ Rekha was called the “Ambassador of Bhangra” by the New York Times and named one of the most influential South Asians by Newsweek, Rekha is among the first DJs to merge classic Bhangra and Bollywood sounds into the language of contemporary electronic dance music. Versed in a broad cross-section of musical genres–from Bhangra to Dancehall to Hip Hop to Bollywood, Rekha has helped launch the careers of artists across the musical spectrum and was the first to present the artists Panjabi MC, Tigerstyle, and M.I.A in the US.
Her world famous "Basement Bhangra" party in New York just celebrated it's 15 year anniversity! And the demand for funky beats w/ Desi vibes is only getting stronger. If you can't wait to get a taste, peep her radio show or buy one of her records.
