Having gone triple platinum with album sales in India, nominated for the MTV immies and penetrated the subcontinent on tour, a mass following has been initiated. Yep... the hype is everywhere despite the album not having been released in the UK or North America. On the club crawl in the UK and India I've witnessed DJs counting their blessings as they repeatedly spin "Rock tha Party" to liven up even the stalest of party joints. Award ceremonies and fashion catwalks alike are hooking on to this infectious sound making the rockers a showcase magnet.

The Bombay Rockers hit UK soil last year and gave crowds at the Star National Mela an intense wake up call. For those of you who haven't experienced these guys, let me set the scene. The music from their first album "Introducing Bombay Rockers" has extractions from all genres - pop, rock, hindi, & hip-hop, all constructed to flow in a synchronized lyrical volley between the duo. If you felt you were moved simply listening to their tracks then be prepared to escalate this experience by watching them live as they morph into slick stage performers. They are well branded with energy at the core. From the pulsating visuals, to their entrance, performance, choreography and clothes - everything dissipates a feel good energy that transcends to your hips and invigorates your soul. Warning: in your quest for auditory stimulation be prepared to simultaneously lose control over your facial muscles as "Teri Tho... Teri Tho" resonates at the tip of you rolling tongue.

So who are the Bombay Rockers? Both in their mid twenties, let's meet the partners in crime - Thomas Sardorf and Navtej Singh Rehal. Navtej is without question the new icon for South Asian artists in Denmark symbolized by a pillar of vocal strength. Thomas equally has all the attributes of a star and seems to genuinely love this Indian vibe. As a producer he has amazingly embraced all its elements from the classical instrumentation to the raw street lingo. Janus Barnewitz, also a producer at WCA production manages their busy diary ensuring no fragmentation in the camp.

Having grown up centrally in Denmark they have been able to live without boundaries to what is perceived to be the "in" sound of east-west fusion music and they have stretched out and evolved independently at their own pace. Chilling out with the Bombay Rockers, its clear that their vision is not constricted by fame but that they are open, expressive and seriously on the wild side. They are definitely the guys you would want to hang with in your posse or have at your house party as they exude a sense of graceful funkiness.
