TRACK LISTINGS

INTRODUCTION

Available in Europe for the first time, fully remastered with an extra bonus track, Desi Vibes incorporates musical influences ranging from The Beatles to Talvin Singh and Ravi Shankar.

It all began with an exploratory trip to India in 1998. Inspired by a treasured collection of original Hindi film soundtracks sourced in Chandni Chowk, New Delhi, DJ Cavo immersed himself in the Grand Bollywood Sound. He soon combined these influences with his own New York street-wise ideas and a new sound was fused - underground and urban, filled with infectious dance grooves and mellow chilled vibes.

Originally released in the summer of 1999, Dum Dum Project's first studio album 'Desi Vibes' became an instant underground hit in the US hip urban centres, receiving airplay on influential stations on the East and West Coast. Considered a standard in US down tempo and leftfield circles, the release soon began to make its impression on the worldwide DJ scene.

DJ Pathaan of London's club night Stoned Asia championed the track 'Air India' from 'Desi Vibes' and in the summer of 1999, the track became an Ibiza favourite.

With their second album release Export Quality (X-Squared), Dum Dum project made and impact on the Urban UK scene. After the electrifying performance of their hit Hey Diwani, Hey Diwana on BBC's 2002 Mega Malai night, Dum Dum Project became a favourite with BBC Radio 1's Bobby Friction and Nihal, scoring several Number 1's on the Urban Charts.

'Desi Vibes' is re-released on 9 March 2004.
