The Pleasure Principle

Pure SpiceDJ Manara

Manara's here to indulge you with 3 hours of full fat club cuts, fiery Asian bops and only the sweetest vocals.

We don't do guilty pleasures around here, just PLEASURE! Manara's here to indulge you with 3 hours of full fat club cuts, fiery Asian bops and only the sweetest vocals. She goes in from the very start, dropping a mash up of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Marius Acke before diving into some world class Bollywood blends, Panjabi icons and UKG. Lock in for some audacious mixes that connect the threads between the past, present and future. Expect tunes from K-Lone, DJ SLYR, Balwinder Safri, Alisha Chinai and tons more.

PLUS: today's Shades On Mix is full of the best Jungle, Drum & Bass and Desi Anthems. Tune in, turn on and skank out.

Produced in Birmingham by Glenvale Media for BBC Asian Network.
