Jalebee Cartel - Music Review

Jalebee Cartel - Music Review

adidas originals delhi india jalebee cartel regathering reviewLast weekend, I went shopping for an Adidas Originals sports jacket both to keep me warm from the icy winds and to appear cool. Adidas Originals has a different logo from Adidas Performance clothing. While Adidas performance sportswear is meant for sports professionals, Adidas Originals clothing with their older logo is used by hip hop, rock and pop music artists such as Robbie Williams, Limp Bizkit, Missy Elliot, Korn and DMC. Their exclusive store in New Delhi is located in F Block Connaught Place, New Delhi.

When I bought the Adidas Originals jacket, I was presented with a free music CD of the electronic dance music group Jalebee Cartel. Their album 'Regathering', is the first full length mix album compiled and mixed by them. Jalebee Cartel consists of a group of five DJ's who have performed at pubs and discotheques around India and a few foreign countries.

Featuring 11 tracks, 'Regathering' consists of techno songs which would be fun to listen to while driving. The music album is also useful for any editor who needs background music to add to a promo, television advertisement and so on. I remember, when I was working with a top television production house in New Delhi, we were always in search of such music.

A minus point of the album - it came with a list where each member DJ thanked 'all aunties, uncles, cousins and relatives' for funding the album in true 'Indian' fashion. C'mon guys, this looked so amateurish. Next time, keep your list shorter.

Ever heard of Jalebee Cartel? Are you a fan of Electronic Dance Music?

  2. Nope, never heard of them! Good that you get free CD with a jacket. Enjoy.
    I like Classics, very old Hindi songs and Jazz, sometimes old country music.

  4. Never heard of Jalebee Cartel but I like some electronica - The Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, etc. I can't listen to it a lot, though because I get bored with so much of it.

  9. Yeah, i kinda like some of their stuff, esp fly over! You have to give these guys some credit, to come from India and make it big internationally in IDM is quite something.
