In 2003, producers Cheb i Sabbah, Karsh Kale and New Delhi based electronica group The Midival Punditz pioneered a sound synonymous with the sublime blurring of boundaries between classical & devotional Indian music, electronica and rock. They coined the name Asian Massive to describe this genre. Five years and many albums later, this all-star lineup returns with fierce DJ sets that will include new material from all three artists.

There will be three rooms of music & dance. The Massive Room will feature Cheb i Sabbah, Karsh Kale and The Midival Punditz. The Worldly Room will feature music from Janaka Selekta, Zakhm, RadioHiro, DJ Warp and in The Faux Dive Hookah Lounge will host Micropixie, DJ Amar and Luxury Tax. The event is hosted by All Is One and sponsored by Six Degrees Records and Narika. For more information, please visit www.myspace.com/janakaselekta.

Salt Lake City Asian Hip Hop Summit – Last year we saw the birth of Asian Hip Hop Summit in New York City which featured performances from Flow Sik, Misnomers, L.S., Kelly Tsai and more. The event was hosted by Miss Info of New York City’s Hot97 and sponsored by ImaginAsian Radio.

This year Asiatic Empire has set up a slew of dates running everyday in the month of August and playing venues that start in Salt Lake City to New York City and back to California. The first stop will be in Salt Lake City and will feature performances from Dumbfoundead, Lyraflip, J Natural, DJ Dstrukt, Sick Sense & Skinwalker, Broken Silence, Smash Brothers and many more. Of course, they always have a Open Mic/MC Battle with every concert, so all you aspiring emcees can get your chance at stardom. For more information, please visit www.asiaticempire.org.
