Joi

'Dubstep' music team founded by brothers Farook and Haroon Shamsher. Their music is a mixture of dee-jaying and electronics. Apparently, the best way to recognise a dubstep track or mix is by the sub-bass that is present in most productions, and is reverberated at different speeds to give a sense of movement and insistence (so now we know!).

The says "The group’s initial aim was to fuse traditional Bengali music with the energetic funk attack of James Brown."
