Midnight In a Perfect World

Pure Spice DJ Manara

Manara's just a girl, standing in front of 3 decks and a mixer, asking you to listen.

Manara's just a girl, standing in front of 3 decks and a mixer, asking you to listen. And you really should - cuz she's dropping the deepest concoction of R&B, UKG and South Asian artistry on tonight’s show. As always, we don't do guilty pleasures round here, just pleasure - so float to the moon and back with a selection that's carefully designed to stimulate maximum joy, bliss, and a bit of melancholy.

Listen out for some 90s Tamil classics, all manner of Asian and global club music and some naughty Bollywood blends - including a flip of an iconic and very silly (non derogatory!) Adnan Sami & Sunidhi Chauhan collab.

PLUS: A Shades On Mix that celebrates underground flavours and British Asian pioneers!

Produced in Birmingham by Glenvale Media for BBC Asian Network.
