BBC Soundcrew

BBC Soundcrew has made their mark with their own ventures including the Top South-Asian DJ Website in Canada (BBCsoundcrew.com), nightclub residency, BBC Soundcrew Gear, mix CDs and remix albums and a weekly prime-time urban South-Asian radio program (Desi Live on 105.5 FM Hosted By DJ JoN-E) which was the first South-Asian radio program that gained national distribution in the United States as of December 2008.

BBC Soundcrew broke into the music night life scene in early 2001 in the Toronto area.

While the first few events were not well attended, it gave a chance for the team to get practice on the main stage at venues.

In 2000, DJ JoN-E started to put individual bhangra mixes online which spread through the internet quickly via file sharing programs such as Napster and Limewire.

All future albums from BBC Soundcrew were made available for free online as they did not see the value in selling it as bootlegging and audio/video duplication were already rampant in the South-Asian community.

BBC Soundcrew's "Desi Live" Radio Program was hosted By Johney Brar (DJ JoN-E) and aired every Monday 8:00pm–9:00pm (EST) on CHRY 105.5FM Toronto.
