Label founders Turbotito and Ragz have curated an exceptional 13-track compilation with a focus on an overlooked era of house and electronic music released between '88 and '94.\u003cbr\u003eWhile Volume 1 explored early 80s Balearic, synth pop, and disco, Volume 2 uncovers lost or forgotten future classics from later in the decade. The release spotlights a unique era in the late 80s and early 90s when fertile cross-cultural collaboration abounded in diasporic communities in cities like London and New York and when South Asian music was infused with acid house, New Beat, and dub.\u003cbr\u003eThere is a true wealth of sounds here, from The Jets Orkhestra’s organ-fuelled house workout ‘X-290’ to the downtempo splendour of the Asha Bhosle fronted West India Company. Lady M lends the Hindi house track and arpeggiated wonder of ‘Kali Raat’ and Mantra’s eponymously titled cut is a hypnotic gem. Featuring other scintillating Balearic house, dub, and street soul from the likes of Asha Puthli, Bappi Lahiri, Johnny Zee, and Kuljit Bhamra, this double album is a treasure of never-before-reissued and previously impossible-to-?nd holy grails.\u003cbr\u003eOften \"too Asian for mainstream success in the West, and too Western for success in Asia,\" the pioneering music from this time was frequently released to short-lived success or relative anonymity. Naya Beat founders Filip Nikolic (aka Turbotito) and Raghav Mani (aka Ragz) have spent the last four years endlessly hunting through dusty records, obscure cassettes, and unreleased studio tapes to deliver a reference release for contemporary collectors, tastemakers, and bold selectors looking for fresh sounds.\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing an incredible gatefold package with Naya Beat’s trademark stunning artwork and exhaustive liner notes, the 2LP release has been cut to vinyl for the discerning DJ and listener by Grammy-nominated Frank Merritt from The Carvery, London.\u003cbr\u003eNaya Beat Records is focused on uncovering foundational dance and electronic music from the subcontinent and South Asian diaspora through reissues, remixes and compilations. Success came immediately with ‘Naya Beat Volume 1’, which was named Vinyl Factory’s number 1 reissue of 2021, and has been followed up with more fascinating releases such as a two-part remix project with disco-jazz legend Asha Puthli, a scintillating bhangra acid house EP with Mr. Scruff, a reissue of Pinky Ann Rihal’s 1985 Hindi new wave album, and the superb Bollywood compilation ‘Awaaz Series 1’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eA1\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_content_multi_artist_dash\"\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"West India Company\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/de\/artist\/20739-West-India-Company\"\u003eWest India Company\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\"\u003eMy Shooting Star\u003c\/span\u003e6:33A2\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_content_multi_artist_dash\"\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Bappi Lahiri\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/de\/artist\/73721-Bappi-Lahiri\"\u003eBappi Lahiri\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\"\u003eRama Rama\u003c\/span\u003e5:18A3\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_content_multi_artist_dash\"\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Sharlene Boodram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/de\/artist\/652090-Sharlene-Boodram\"\u003eSharlene Boodram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\"\u003eChamkay 'D' Chutney (Turbotito \u0026amp;
