500+MB of melodic harmoniums, infectious tumbi and deep layered percussion for the most authentic dancefloor-ripping Bhangra breaks and rhythms this side of Mumbai.

Bhangra has seen a huge resurgence of late, featuring in virtually every genre of music and film. The heavy rhythms of dhol and tablas make it perfect for intersecting with today's urban and dance rhythms.
