B*INDI
Music does not seem to acknowledge borders or the boundaries of language. Borderless beats for a borderless world is the credo of Dj B*indi. In Dj-sets he interweaves different kinds of world music with electronic sounds. Whatever you call it – Electro Rai, Basement Bhangra, Flamenco Breaks, North African Trance, Balkan Beats – it's the ultimate borderless mashup! B*indi's mixture of traditional/indigenous and futuristic music takes the listener on an explosive, sweat-inducing "round the world trip". No visas required!

Organizer of the "Asian Underground Vibrations"-clubbings at Subzero (2003) and "Café Hafa"-nights at Café Berfin (2007/2008), monthly radioshow "Tonkopf" at play.fm (www.play.fm).
