manner of machinery and technical bedazzlement with an exclusive video
mixing set.

zany racy rhymes.

upbeat synth-driven party bangers when he's on stage.

funkiness and jazzy hip-hop sensibilities that appeal to dance floors
from SF to Tokyo.

NAVDEEP (mutiny) - The visionary DJ/producer/turntablist/tabla player
brings raw yet refined passion to the decks, turning crowds on with a
stylish melange that slides from South Asian sonics and his native
Bhangra rhythms to hard-hitting breaks, pounding hip-hop cuts and
fragments of furious rock.

year at SF's longest running club POPSCENE, bringing the kids her
