Dhamaal Home Page
Over the last seven years, the Dhamaal crew has created cutting edge music, video, art and events that tap into the rich culture of South Asia, while creating a future-forward style all their own. The crew has produced three month-long festivals, a traditional Indian music concert at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and several massive club events at Club Six and 1015 Folsom, making Dhamaal events the largest and longest running showcase of South Asian infused electronica events in the world!
The Dhamaal crew have performed all over the world and their music has aired worldwide from John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show, Bobby & Nihal, & Adil Ray of the BBC, and NPR, to a slew of college and community based radio stations all over North America and Europe. Over the last couple years, Dhamaal has released their debut full length CD Dhamaal Soundsystem, which cracked i-Tunes top 20 Electronic chart and the 12 EP Transitions, which have been released in the US, India and Japan. Also the crew have done remix work for Asian Dub Foundation, Saul Williams, Cheb i Sabbah and have upcoming collaborations with State of Bengal, Kush Arora, as well as their own individual efforts.
Dhamaal has a deep history of community involvement working to raise money for various non-profits, including Narika, an organization serving South Asian women impacted by domestic abuse, for fighting the AIDS crisis in Africa, and for relief from both last year's tsunami and the recent earthquake in South Asia.
