Rupa - Disco Jazz (Disco Ball SIlver)Barely disco and hardly jazz, Rupa Biswas 1982 LP is the halfway point between Bollywood and Balearic. Tracked in Calgarys Living Room Studios with a crack team of Indian and Canadian studio rats alike, Disco Jazz is a perfect fusion of East and West. Sarod and synthesizer intricately weave around one another for 37 transcendent minutes, culminating in the viral hit Aaj Shanibar. Remastered from original analogue source material and issued with

a modern jungle monster decorated with classic hip-hop samples and a well known diva vox squealing through the melee

"Mind Print" features Jonah Baseball on Guitar

coupled with his own dominating originals ‘Body Funk’

Blundetto is rocking the drums over minimal drum machine paterns

his second full-length LP
