Amar is amongst a handful of local DJs whose taste cuts a path through an abundance of musical selections and leads dancefloors into a hypnotic sway like snakes before the charmer. In this instance the muse is a masala that brews sounds from the Middle East and Balkans with rhythms of the Asian underground and electric Brazilian vibes. Whether its breaks, bhangra, house, drum & bass or downtempo the global nature of Amar's sets bridges a multi-culti span from the world to the Bay Area.
As a DJ and promoter, he has collaborated and shared the
bill with some of the Bay Area's & world's most innovative
Musicians, DJs, dancers and troupes including DJ Dragonfly
DJ Sep, Janaka Selekta, Maneesh the Twister, Lady Ra, Freyja, Frederique, Cheb i Sabbah, Soulsalaam, Ultra Gypsy, Urban Tribal, Ariellah, Sooozhyq, Dhol Rhythms, Nitin Sawhney, Lorin, Nader, Unmata, Dr. Israel, Midival Punditz, Shabaz, Sila and the Afrofunk Experience, Zoe Jakes, Dr. Das, Ansuya, Beats Without Borders, State of Bengal, Karsh Kale and others.
