They’ll be also joined by Shaanti’s front man Manga and resident DJ MSC who be representing ‘Champion Sound’ - the underground illegitimate club-child of Shaanti.

Manga, Founder of Shaanti says: “It’s a honour to be invited to host the first ever Global Asian Club tent at The Big Chill Festival. Not only are we the first club brand to represent Asian broken and fusion beats to the masses but we’ll also the first to host a club tent in a daytime setting, as a main music feature, alongside the rest of the programming for this festival,” he says.

"I just want to host events what feels right at the moment without thinking about genres, thankfully The Big Chill motions that same notion." He ends.

Shaanti arguably is one of the best global brands in the world. Still breaking the rules, the music Shaanti represented has shifted over the nine years as genres have progressed and developed. Tearing up genre conventions by showcasing every genre of music under the sun, veering from Asian breaks, Eastern drum n bass licks to searing electro workouts, rowdy breaks to groove focused house and joining all the dots in between. The musical direction is broad enough to deliver a diverse offer, giving the crowds plenty of reason to dance up to 6 hours straight on Sunday 3rd August.
