A critics favorite with the likes of Pitchfork (8.0\/10), DJ Mag, Mixmag and 4Columns, Volume 2 was a standout release of 2024.

There is a true wealth of sounds here, from The Jets Orkhestra’s organ-fuelled house romp \"X-290\" to the downtempo splendour of the Asha Bhosle fronted West India Company. Lady M lends the Hindi house track and arpeggiated wonder of \"Kali Raat\" and Mantra’s eponymously titled cut is a hypnotic gem. Featuring other scintillating balearic house, dub and street soul from the likes of Asha Puthli, Bappi Lahiri, Johnny Zee and Kuljit Bhamra, this double album is a treasure trove of never-before-reissued and previously impossible-to-find holy grails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaya Beat founders Turbotito and Ragz spent years endlessly hunting through dusty records, obscure cassettes and unreleased studio tapes to deliver a reference release for contemporary collectors, tastemakers and bold selectors looking for fresh sounds.
