notes
The debut album from the Dhamaal Soundsystem captures 5 years of slamming sets that weave electronic breakbeats and live South Asian instrumentation (tabla, sitar, vocals, etc.) into a unified experience. The Dhamaal Collective has maintained one of the most celebrated club residencies in the San Francisco Bay Area and consistently draws the largest crowds of any active showcase of South Asian infused electronica in the world.
The legendary Dhamaal club night has received high praise for seamlessly blending thumping dance music with South Asian sights and sounds and the eagerly anticipated debut album is being received with equal enthusiasm...
"The most progressive act to have appeared on my show by some distance. Just make sure you have a big enough soundsystem to take on these Twilight Creeping Maniacs!" - Adil Ray (BBC Radio Asian Network)
"...one of the most engaging Asian electronica discs to emerge in years...a seamless and innovative blend of electronics, breakbeats, South Asian percussion, & turntablism that stands up to repeat listening. The meticulously crafted effort towers above the flood of mediocre Asian club discs currently cramming record store shelves." - Innerviews.com
"...the grimiest, heaviest, most intense, Qawwali [Pakistani Folk] drum and bass..." - Bobby Friction (BBC Radio 1)
"... a visionary group of DJs, visual artists, and musicians called Dhamaal has been shaking up the underground with its highly skilled blend of beats and traditional South Asian sounds." - SF Bay Area Guardian
- Winner of SF Guardian's Best of the Bay 2003.

Awesome blend of South Asian classical music w/ hard hitting electronic music!
author: System Hijack (M. Sheikh)This CD is great driving music. If you like desi (South Asian) and electronic music, you'll love this album. Great effort, keep it up! Looking forward to the next project.
