Eclectic sounds from modern Britain
Fans of the more innovative and experimental sounds emerging from the contemporary drum & bass scene will find much to enjoy in Doc Scott’s ongoing ‘Future Beats’ series, which can be streamed or downloaded via Soundcloud.
February 2011′s installment includes the fantastic ‘Nine Times‘ by Amit featuring Rani and the purpose of this post is to draw readers’ attention to Amit‘s work.
Creative and genre-defying, while firmly rooted within drum & bass, Amit’s considerable output has brought new sounds into the dance music scene, with his work featuring both South Asian and Middle Eastern musical styles, offering listeners an experience which embodies and illustrates the positive opportunities and benefits that ‘melting pot’ Britain can offer.
Here are a couple of favourites. There are plenty more on YouTube and this mix showcases a variety of his tracks.

Ethnic minority must be good shit but prefer Vera Lynn and Bob Marley singing bluebird!

Well done Amit. Trying to find more on Youtube. That’s typical folk songs (also known as Garba and Bhangada) mostly popular in southeast Asian countries.

How does all this go down in the Centre for Social Cohesion Central Office? I can’t see Douglas Murray getting down this, somehow.
