sd53009

As we tip toe into another San Francisco summer, Non Stop Bhangra brings the heat. Loading up on talent from all over North America, NSB brings the best the US has to offer in banging Indian beats to the Rickshaw Stop. All the way from NYC's famous Sub Swara crew is Dave Sharma, who has rocked everything from Basement Bhangra to a live tour with Moby playing drums. Sharma is a regular feature on BBC's Asian Network and returns to NSB for his first appearance in almost 2 years. Joining the crew this month will also be J Boogie (OM Records) of Dubtronic Science, the recent Best DJ in SF thanks to the good guys over at the SF Weekly. If that is not already an instant party, the full Non Stop Bhangra Collective will be in the house including the return of a very special guest MC from the Living Legends - Aesop! Come early for the Bhangra dance lesson and live NSB Collective set, and stay late for endless Bhangra beats.

The Rickshaw Stop | 155 Fell Street (between Van Ness and Franklin) | $15 advance / $20 door | 9p-2a | 21+

SURYA DUB PODCAST #2
J.Rogers Live @ Acid Totem, 4-18-09

DJ AmarJ.Rogers brings together a wealth of musical experience and styles with his unique sound. As a graduate of music studies in composition, conducting, and piano with a life-long obsession for the production and performance of electronic/dance music, he injects a strong grasp of advanced musical technique into his diverse sets of dubstep, minimal/techno, tech house, and everything in between. His recent Ableton sets feature rapid-fire transitioning, layering, and sample-dropping across a wide-ranging assortment of sounds. J.Rogers' productions are no different as he releases track after track of genre-bending originals and remixes, supported by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Dubfire, Headhunter, Laurent Garnier, DZ, Stacey Pullen, XI, Paco Osuna, and many more. He stays busy as a member of the Surya Dub crew, co-founder of San Francisco's Blipswitch.net online community, and labelhead of the Blipswitch Digital record label. One to watch out for in the years to come.

New Surya Dub Stckers are out


Surya Dub wins 2008 SF Bay Guardian
Best of the Bay for
Best Ambassadors of Dread Bass


The Surya Dub crew continue to pave the way for new styles and sounds and along the way get a newly created section in the BoB.. Super thanks to our fans and supporters round the world for this! Here's what the Guardian says...

BEST AMBASSADORS OF DREAD BASS

"That cracked and funky dubstep sound surged through Clubland's speakers last year, an irresistible combination of breakbeats energy, dub wooziness, sly grime, intel glitch, and ragga relaxation. Many parties took the sound into uncharted waters, infusing it with hip-hop hooks, Bollywood extravaganza, roots rock swing, or "world music" folksiness. But only one included all those variations simultaneously, while pumping local and international live acts, fierce visuals, multimedia blowouts, and an ever-smiling crowd of rainbow-flavored fans: Surya Dub, a monthly lowdown hoedown at Club Six. The Surya crew, including perennial Bay favorites DJ Maneesh the Twister and Jimmy Love, and wondrous up-and-comers like Kush Arora, Kid Kameleon, DJ Amar, Ripley, and MC Daddy Frank on the mic, describes its ass-thumping sound as "dread bass," which moves beyond wordy genre description into a cosmic territory the rumble in your eardrums can surely attest to. Surya Dub keeps it in the community, too, helping to promote a growing network of citywide dubstep events and spreading their dread bass gospel with parties in India."


Kush Arora's Dub Elements EP feat Maneesh the Twister, Lukeino, & Process Rebel
kush
Kush Arora's rare limited edition colored vinyl is now finally available digitally and his collaboration with Maneesh the Twister on the theme song Surya Dub has broken the Top 5 of all downloads on Beatsource.com!  Surf's Up feat Lukeino is a local classic and Boss Strut dub hightlights the dub in dubstep as this EP masterfully weaves between both genres. It's available on both Beatsource and Beatport.

The 3rd Annual San Francisco Bay Guardian Reader's Poll for Best DJs of 2007 is in and Surya Dub's own Maneesh the Twister wins BEST DANCE CLUB DJ 2007!
Here's what the they say, "As co-founder of the Dhamaal Artist Collective, Maneesh the Twister was already an established figure in the Bay Area's thriving South Asian hybrid beats scene when he founded Surya Dub at Club Six (every 4th Saturday). In less than a year, this monthly party has become the premier destination for the dubwize community. His reputation for bass-driven eclecticism - encompassing everything from Roots Reggae to Dubstep, Breakbeat to Bhangra, South Asian Electronica and Global Bass Beat - has garnered a passionate following and multiple accolades and awards. Get your ass down to Club Six and prepare to shake it, and don't miss his sets at Dub Mission, the nation's longest-running weekly dub & roots night at Elbo Room every Sunday!"
