APTV: DJ Rekha Chats Music, Culture & Beyond

British-born and New York City-based, DJ Rekha is a DJ, curator, record label owner and educator. Called the “Ambassador of Bhangra” by the New York Times and named one of the most influential South Asians by Newsweek, Rekha is among the first DJ's to merge classic Bhangra music with Bollywood sounds into the language of contemporary electronic dance music. Since establishing herself on the club scene with her inaugural event, Basement Bhangra, launched in 1997 and now running for over 18 years, Rekha has produced some of the longest-running and most successful parties in New York and has helped present artists such as Panjabi MC, Tigerstyle, and M.I.A in the United States. ANOKHI PULSE TV caught up with DJ Rekha on the eve of ANOKHI's 12th Anniversary celebrations where she was honored with the 'Excellence In The Art Of Deejaying' Award and performed at ANOKHI's Industry Only Gala-After Party. She speaks about her authentic intentions when starting Basement Bhangra and how it led to a cultural movement in the diaspora and how culture, identity and art are all interconnected.
