Janaka Selekta:
In a city overflowing with talented DJs, Janaka’s skills were recognized by the San Francisco community in 2004 when he received the Reader’s Poll Award for Best DJ (SF Guardian). Bringing a dancer’s sensibility to the decks, Janaka deconstructs each track merging and beat juggling parts to build crescendoes and diminuendoes. Constantly working the tracks and the mixer to make any dancefloor bounce. His unique sound weaves original songs and homemade bootlegs with floor stomping tracks from around the planet.

Bombay Beatbox:

DJ Warp & Radiohiro (Chicago) have been bringing the sounds of the subcontinent straight to you via deep bass and tabla induced breakbeats for years. Bombay Beatbox presents international music producers and DJ's that are rewriting the sounds of London's "Asian Underground" style with a tough new version called "Asian Massive".

From New Delhi to San Francisco to Burningman to Chicago, this international collective of DJ's and producers are bringing it to you fresh off the streets.

Bombay Beatbox was formed in 2003 by DJ Warp and DJ Radiohiro. Performing, DJing, remixing, and promoting global music have landed them rave reviews in media portals such as Time Magazine, XLR8R, Time Out, The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Reader, Rhapsody Music, NPR, CLTV, Flavorpill, and New City. As club promoters they have hosted and debuted like-minded artists such as Bill Laswell's Tabla Beat Science,Talvin Singh, Karsh Kale, DJ Rehka, MIDIval Punditz, Cheb I Sabbah, Janaka Selekta, State of Bengal, Bassnectar, Luke Vibert, Born Into Brothels Ensemble, Mercene Dede, as well as many others.

As world music events promoters and producers, they have worked with almost every major Indian Hindustani Classical guru out there today, including masters L.Shankar, Zakir Hussain, Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pandit Jasraj, Sultan Khan, Masters Of Percussion, Anoushka Shankar, Shiv Kumar Sharma, Ajoy Chakrabarthy, Shayid Parvez, Vishwan Mohan
Bhott,Rajan and Sajan Mishra and a slew of others.

They have performed at just about every music venue in Chicago and were recently asked to be the very first DJs to perform at one of Chicago's most prestigious venues, the Chicago Symphony Center, where they converted a packed house to the future sounds of the international dance music. As emerging artists, Radiohiro and DJ Warp have recently produced music for the highly respected world music label, Six Degrees Records.

Their latest music is also getting rotation on several FM radio stations here in America, Germany, South Asia, and BBC's Radio 1 and BBC's Asian Music Network. They are also key players in Karsh Kale's Kollektiv, an international consortium of Asian music producers and collaborators.
