Hey people...  Its that time again - we've got another session of our official party going on in Toronto in just a couple of weeks.  For all you canucks freezing your butts off,  you'll be happy to hear that we have a great small venue that's brand new and in my opinion, one of the best spots in the city.

Check out all the info in the Dishoom section of the site and if you're on Facebook, RSVP for the event and make sure to spread the love and tell your buddies about the gig.

Cheers.

Last night's Dishoom gig was great fun; through the night we had a bunch of folks coming in and out of Bird - a really nice intimate lounge space on College/the main Little Italy strip in downtown Toronto.

Photos are online and you can check them in the gallery section of the site.

Thanks again to everyone who came out and to Zakhm & v:shal for hanging out and dropping some delicious beats.

For anyone who missed the gig, no worries, I'll be spinning again alongside v:shal kanwar and a host of other acts including LAL, Omnesia, Natak, Alkmst and the DubSlingers at the Toronto installment of the Indian Electronica Festival on July 20th - definately DO NOT miss this one!!! :)

This is just a quick note to say that the venue for Dishoom has been confirmed for next saturday, July 7th - we'll be at Bird (503 College St, just above Xacutti resto); whcih is an amazing little lounge.

As usual, there's no cover charge.

We have some *amazing* artists lined up including v:shall kanwar all the way from DC plus Zakhm from New York City!

See you then,

Though our original venue fell through at the last minute, our line-up is confirmed and we'll be announcing our new super-fabulous spot here tomorrow! :)  This month we have very special guests in Toronto to perform: DC's V:Shal Kanwar and Manhattan's Zakhm (Mutiny, NYC) - who will be joined alongside on the decks by our resident DJ Abdul Smooth. 

About our Guest DJs: 

Zakhm hails from the legendary Mutiny NYC crew that broke the Asian Electronic sound in the United States over 8 years ago and is currently a cornerstone member of the worldwide Kollektiv crew. He has collected a long list of credits as a DJ and Producer and his music appears on Six Degrees records. In addition to performing at numerous venues around the globe he has performed alongside Karsh Kale, Talvin Singh, Midival Punditz, Cheb i Sabbah, Nitin Sawhney and many others. From that base Zakhm has become a force to be reckoned with in the Asian Underground scene worldwide and he continues to incorporate the values of community, collaboration and experimentation into his artistic vision. Prepare yourself for a dynamic set that journeys from raag-infused breakbeats to glitchy electro to psy-influenced world electronica - and all that rocks in between. ( http://www.mutinysounds.com )

v:shal kanwar began his explorations into visual art & music nearly 20 years ago.  as a performance installationist he has created paintings while sharing the stage with the likes of Freq Nasty, DJ Goldie, Karsh Kale, MIDIval Punditz, Sub Swara and Dhamaal Sound System.  as a musician, he often plays live tabla, guitar and latin percussion over his dj sets, and has been a long-time resident selector with the worldwide Kollektiv crew, as well as founding DC's Global Groove and Sutra residencies.  v:k's tastes in music range from deep house to raag-fueled electronica, to hard drum & bass, with a healthy dose of glitch and bhangra, and his dj sets feature irresistable underground electronica gems, collected from many journeys across the globe.
