Rolling like a ten-ton juggernaut of Desi bass nastiness, Sharmaji (a.k.a Dave Sharma) creates a bass-heavy, post-desi sound that is as consistently powerful as it is diverse in background AND completely NYC. His productions have been spun all through the states and UK by DJ's such as Bobby Friction and Nihal, Shiva Soundsystem, the Avaaz/G.O.O.N.D.A. crews, DJ Rekha (the one and only from India), Cheb-i Sabbah (a Bay Area icon), DhamaalSF (check out the World Music channel!), and countless others. As a DJ and percussionist he's brought his rhythms to artists as diverse as Karsh Kale, Ming & FS, Tina Sugandh, JUNGLI, and Timbaland's hookstress RajeSwari, as well as for NYC's 9-years-strong Basment Bhangra party and hometown bhangra sensation Bikram Singh. In 2004 he started a long-term relationship with AR Rahman's Broadway musical ‘Bombay Dreams’ logging around 300 performances of it in that year alone, on up through to the 2006 national tour. Besides spending more time in Asia than at home in Brooklyn, 2006 was centered around the 1st national tour of ‘Bombay Dreams’ in the US. After drinking all the beer in Pittsburgh, other highlights included a live set with Cheb-i Sabbah at Summerstage in NYC, the massive Turntablas on the Bayou party in Houston w/ Deep Singh and the Mahabeats crew, a deconstructed tabla/dubstep DJ set in St. Louis, rocking Dubstep at the venerable Kollektiv party, and a recording session for J.lo 6 hours before heading out to Sri Lanka. 2007 kicked off with an onslaught of new Sharmaji sounds...the Bomb-zilian remix of Jay Dabhi's instant classic "Mumbai after Dark," the soon-to-be released ragga jungle refix of the G.O.O.N.D.A crew's "Tokin Raggastani..." But the surprise hit though, has been the tri-continental dubstep tune "Koli Stance" done in conjunction w/ SubSwara don Dhruva... mentioned in Pitchfork as "best in its genre," it's already made its way into sets by the likes of Maryanne Hobbes and Kid Kameleon. Look out for the release of his wicked tracks later this year on Desi Hits!....South Asian music has never been more accessible…don’t limit yourself OR your tastes!!!
