Bhangra is the lively marriage of traditional Punjabi music from India and Pakistan with electronic dance beats. One of the prime movers of the New York bhangra scene, DJ Rekha (Rekha Malhorta) dedicates herself to spreading the music of South Asian youth (or “desi”). The founder of S.O.B.’s wildly popular “Basement Bhangra” night, as well as the dance party “Mutiny,” Rekha was one of the first DJs to bring to bhangra to New York’s clubs. Jane called her "among the genre's most important players in the US," while New York Magazine noted that Basement Bhangra is "the must dance destination for young South Asians as well as an expanding number of dedicated clubgoers."
