Album Description
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 street of London, Leicester, Bradford and Birmingham. They have blended a raw mix of traditional bhangra and Bollwood sounds with the beats of the West 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 a journalist for Britains biggest Asian radio station, Sunrise Radio. Hes used his experience to source a cracking bunch of tunes that are impossible to find away from backstreet record shops and strictly Asian nightclubs. The likes of Londons RnB producer Rishi Rich, gritty Northern urbanistas, and underground hard dance acts have been pulled together in a collection that will make you want to, as they say in Panjabi Chuck de Phatte!, or Rip up the Floorboards!
