DJ Rekha
My Story
Hey, I’m DJ Rekha. Been spinning beats and building wild, welcoming dance floors for a long time now. Basement Bhangra started as a way to blast Punjabi music in NYC clubs, and it just blew up! I’m not just about the music - I collect flyers, photos, all that, cause our party history matters. Donated my stash to NYU so anyone can see how our scene grew. For me, it’s all linked - the beats, the people, the stories.
My Work
DJ, Producer, Curator, Educator - I play festivals, clubs, private parties, and curate events. I also give talks on music and culture.
South Asian Diasporic Dance Music Sets - Bhangra, reworked Punjabi tracks, retro filmi grooves - all mixed for dancing, global vibes always.
Inclusive Dance Party Vibes - Energy’s high, everyone’s welcome. Dance like you’re the Bollywood star you know you are.
Signature Events - Basement Bhangra & Bollywood Disco: Started Basement Bhangra NYC and Bollywood Disco party series. Community, culture, and wild nights from Queens to Brooklyn.
