I can send you the stems if you're interested. You're spot on about eqing, but I opted to throw in the 60's sample raw.</p> <p>I'll be sure to meet up with Kush and vest him with a copy of my album before he leaves and to check out your beats at Surya Dub in July. Peace.</p> Mr C, I’m glad you like my remix. I can send you the stems if you’re interested. You’re spot on about eqing, but I opted to throw in the 60′s sample raw.

I’m really diggin’ the Chole-ke-peechay rmx! As far as vocal ‘isolation’ goes, there’s usually so much sonic junk going on in 60s/70s bollywood that slicing and dicing out the offending eq’s tends to make EVERYTHING sound better.

Bollywood a cappellas are nearly impossible to find (at least in my experience), so I did all the vocal editing myself. If you're interested in exactly how, or want some pointers, just drop me a line on my blog and I can get into more detail.</p> Thanks Amardeep.

Out of curiosity, did you clean up the originals to isolate the vocals yourself, or are there vocal track samples of of songs like “Choli ke peeche” floating around?

After listening to a couple tracks, I'm led to believe that Deejay Om's beats are not bad at all, despite the fact his strongest connection to the desh is his penchant for the restaurant that inspired the album.

I don’t dislike it at all… which surprises me. I, for one, couldn’t stand the Dan the Automator compilations: the campiness factor wasn’t campy enough to really ‘get’ the inherent absurdity/campiness of masala-era bollywood, and the hiphop production was really, really, really, really mediocre.

Dr. Das is indeed back and rawking it old skool. I saw his last set at Worldy get cut short due to technical problems, but that shouldn’t preclude you macacas check him out later this month at the Elbo Room in SF.

There’s quite the strong South Asian presence in the dubstep scene, as well (ahem.. ahemm… is this thing on?)

It’s on in the Bay, that’s for sure. Kush and Maneesh are holding down the only monthly South Asian dubstep night that I’m aware of.

Btw, when am I going to get to hear your liquid-funk remix of Do the Thang Thang, Mr. C?

Shameless Self Promotion Alert: All this talk of Bollywood remixes and crate-digging and bringing desi back has me all giddy. Here’s a Bollywood remix I did, with the requisite 80′s cock-rock and tumbi samples in tow. Enjoy.
