A critic's favorite with the likes of Pitchfork (8.0\/10), DJ Mag, Mixmag, and 4Columns, Volume 2 was a standout release of 2024. Repeating the success of Volume 1, it was The Vinyl Factory’s number-one reissue of 2024 and featured on Best Of lists at Phonica Records, Juno, KCRW and In Sheep’s Clothing. It is now available in a spectacular package, exclusive to RSD Essentials, and features a beautiful 2LP gatefold cover with stunning limoncello and purple colored 180-gram eco-friendly vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Volume 1 explored early 80s Balearic, synth pop, and disco, Volume 2 spotlights a unique era in the late 80s and early 90s in diasporic cities like London and New York when South Asian music was infused with acid house, New Beat, and dub. There is a true wealth of sounds here, from The Jets Orkhestra’s organ-fuelled house romp \"X-290\" to the downtempo splendor 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 trove of never-before-reissued and previously impossible-to-find holy grails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaya Beat founders Turbotito and Ragz spent 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. Featuring an incredible gatefold package with Naya Beat’s trademark stunning artwork and extensively researched liner notes, the 2LP release has been cut to vinyl for the discerning listener and DJ by Grammy-nominated Frank Merritt from The Carvery, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWest India Company - My Shooting Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBappi Lahiri - Rama Rama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharlene Boodram - Chamkay 'D' Chutney (Turbotito \u0026amp; Ragz Remix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKuljit Bhamra - Dholdrums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMantra - Mantra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeera - Beat The Rhythm (Check It Out)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLady M - Kali Raat (Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnny Zee - Billo To Meri Aan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbotito \u0026amp; Ragz Ft.
