Bay Beat Collective (BBC)

The Mumbai-based BBC (Bay Beat Collective) comprising of Kris Correya and Sohail Arora was formed in late 2008 in response to the abundance of standard-issue electronica so often churned out in clubs and bars across the country. Influenced by bass music artists across the board, BBC explores new aural territory, dabbling in styles ranging from drum n bass to dubstep, with a partiality to “phat” basslines and high voltage grooves that are infectious, delicious & supremely funky. BBC have toured with some of the biggest international names in the electronic and bass music circuit including artists like The Prodigy, LTJ Bukem, Alix Perez, Klute, Nymfo, Concord Dawn, DJ Marky, Jazzsteppa, Asian Dub Foundation, TC1, Brother Culture, Dub FX & Pendulum. The collective has played extensively in the international festival circuit including Jungle Flash Festival (Slovenia) & Outlook Festival (Croatia) which is Europe’s largest bass music and sound system culture festival. BBC was the first ever Indian artist to take on the stage at this festival. BBC have also played at some of the biggest Indian festivals including three years at the Sunburn Festival (Goa), two years at the Bacardi NH7 Weekender (Pune) and once at Invasion Festival (Bangalore). In addition to this, BBC’s extensive tours of Asia & Europe in August 2010 & 2012 through Germany, UK, Croatia, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Hong Kong & Singapore have put them on the world map. BBC have injected fun into a scene, which was mutating into an increasingly austere and po-faced arena. Their DJ sets continually re-affirm the potency of dancing the night away in a sweaty club, surrounded by completely like-minded strangers.
