Description

Thier love & passion is the music that the UK gave birth to. From alternative Rock, such as Punk, to alternative Dance like Drum & Bass.
BBC
The Mumbai-based BBC (Bay Beat Collective) formed in response to the abundance of standard-issue electronica so commonly heard in clubs and bars across the country. A DJ collective consisting of Kris Correya (longtime resident DJ of Zenzi, Mumbai's most reputed club for experimental and underground music), Raffael Kably (audio engineer and regular Zenzi DJ) and Sohail Arora (music programmer and event promoter at Blue Frog, India's premiere live music venue), the BBC's passion lies in drum & bass, breaks, dubstep, glitch, funk and minimal sounds.
The trio fearlessly explores new aural territory, dabbling in styles ranging from old-skool to nu-skool, dark breaks to funky and tech, with a partiality to "phat" basslines and high voltage grooves that are infectious and delicious. After members Kris's recent opening act in Europe for London Elektricity - one of the world's biggest drum & bass live acts - Raffael's stint in Singapore brushing up his production skills - Sohail throwing in the chops with his midi controller and the collective's grand debut at the Blue Frog, Mumbai, the BBC are all fired up to change the future sound of electronic music. Don't touch that dial.
