The Bombay Royale - You Me Bullet Love - out on HopeStreet Recordings
05 September 2012, 19:41
You might remember Sote Sote Adhi Raat, the first taste of this album from The Bombay Royale, a bonkers Bollywood Disco track we played in our Block Party 2011 end-fo-the-year mix. Or the album opener, Monkey Fight Snake featured in our Bag of Goodies Vol.5 mix, which sounds like The Budos Band with tablas on acid in a Sergio Leone movie. Maybe you've heard our Friday Night Session mix for Andrew...

Obscure Bollywood tracks reworked for the funk/disco/breaks audience by Australian funksters? New tracks produced to sound like funky vintage Indian Blaxploitation? It doesn't really matter since the resulting recordings are just plain...
