I have another Anjali to add to the fold, the only one I know and also love/lust, Magical Anjali.

No, I mean Anju ya stinker. You are aware people have nicknames? :p

A girl you may know, the Midwestern Eastender who snarkily comments on here from time to time is trapped behind firewall and can’t comment (know the feeling) and says this via email:

Bongsie, I’ve been out less than you in the past year and I at least know Shri’s got a solo album out. (I apologize, I have that and others all burned for you but keep forgetting to give them to you) You’re also probably thinking of Punka-Wallah, which I gather is some project of Pathaan‘s but have never heard. But otherwise, uh, yeah. What Bong said, as far as Brits go. Can I also add Bong Breaker is a beautiful man. Beautiful.

I guarantee she said that all. But young lady I am still right – Badmarsh AND Shri are no more. I’m not a big fan of Shri’s solo efforts. Now I am not going to put anything more in this thread for at least, oooh a comment or two.

And Saj, I’ve had my question answered, he is a doc – last I know in the er no less.

I think you meant Anjali. She is still spinning at the Brig in Venice, CA just down the street.

The two Rizes always makes things confusing, but to clarify, I meant MC Riz. I ain’t a big fan of Sona Family, but Hard Kaur’s too cool. Don’t like her music though!

One degree of separation: It’s funny, several of these people have all battled in an ‘Asian 8 Mile’ held at a regular night in London (next one is tomorrow). In fact ALL people mentioned have been there at some point. Which is a nice segue to the people I was going to write about and forgot – Sunit and Raxstar. They’re pretty new and it’s promising so far. Nice boys, Mummyji would approve. And they’re managed by a friend of mine, so another plug I’m contractually obliged to make.

Get yerself learned C-Ling.

I JUST got added to Yam Boy & Goonda Raj’s my space list and I like their stuff, must try to listen to some more. The production is quite good, I’m holding out my verdict on the rhymes till I can hear some better quality mp3s feeds.

Thanks for all the tips, I’ll be sure to check out your bloggy for more of the good stuff. My experience in the ethno side of brit electronic is formed around Sawhney, SoB, and B & S but I’ve lost touch in the past few years. I think Navdeep is from NY, I’ve heard a couple of his older mixes (around 02) but no albums. Damn, I’ve no idea about Tigerstyle or Fusing Naked Beats or anyone else so it might just be well past time to get learned!
