Sub Swara feat. State of Bengal May 19, 2005

($15, $12 before 11pm, $10 advance. more info). The integration of South Asian instrumentation into dance music comes to a head tonight at Crash Mansion, as a visionary group of elites gathers on one dance floor. Groundbreaking UK bhangra 'n bass DJ Saifullah Zaman (State of Bengal) headlines, supported by breakbeat crew Visionary Underground, local faves DJ Haj and Dhruva, and Janaka Selekta of SF's Dhamaal Sound System. If this blessed union of sonic souls isn't enough, a screening of Mutiny, Vivek Bald's comprehensive retrospective on the Asian Underground, kicks off the evening uptown at the ImaginAsian Theatre at 7pm.
