'Urban
Asian' presents the contemporary sound of South Asian music as it
thumps out of nightclubs and the car sound systems of young British
Asians on the streets of London, Leicester, Bradford and Birmingham.
They have blended a raw mix of traditional bhangra and Bollywood
sounds with the beats of Western hip hop, UK garage, house, even
dancehall and reggaeton. It is a swaggering soundtrack that is now
being echoed by other urban Asians from New York to New Delhi.
Toby
Shergold is a music writer and journalist for Britain's biggest
Asian radio station 'Sunrise Radio'. Here he presents an essential
selection of tunes that are impossible to find away from the backstreet
record shops and strictly Asian nightclubs. The likes of RnB producer
Rishi Rich, gritty Northern urbanistas and underground dance acts
have been pulled together in a collection that ill make you want
to, as the say in Punjabi 'Chuck de Phatte!' or 'Rip up the Floorboards'.
