DJ Rekha is back again, as S.O.B.'s presents another installment
of Basement Bhangra, with a series that shares its name with
Rehka's recently released album. Attendees will be treated
to sounds that are a mixture of Hip-hop and ethnic Indian music.
DJ Rekha gives her listeners a unique sound that is part Bollywood,
part Hip-Hop, part Dancehall and all fresh.
Since its launch in 1997, Basement Bhangra has
forced New York to sit up and take notice of Bhangra, a genre
of music rapidly becoming an essential part of the NYC club
scene. Although Basement Bhangra's success is built on loyalty
to its core audience, the 1st Thursday of every month finds
SOB’s over-flowing with a crowd that comes in every shape
and color. DJ Rekha's production company, Sangament, Inc. has
succeeded in putting Bhangra and Indian pop on the map of music
consciousness. Not only has Basement Bhangra successfully sold
out every month, bringing countless new listeners to South
Asian music, but its highly visible position in New York's
club scene has garnered attention from numerous media outlets
(Newsweek, Billboard, and the WB11 News at 10).
