Hey guys!! Do you remember the sensational numbers'Oh Baby, Don't Break My Heart…', and 'Jambo'? That's right, Stereo Nation is the name and mixing music is the game. Pure fusion of diverse elements of Indian and Caribbean music to create a foot tapping concoction for one and all.The exceptionaly small band comprises the quintessential punjabbi munda Taz and the Caribbean born Kendell Smith, a dub poet.Their music is for the crowd to have a 'good time.Pioneers of what later came to be established as the bhangra-reggae genre, the duo has been making music since 1989, when Taz's debut act Hit The Deck topped the Asian charts and created a groove for the bhangra-mixes among the British club hoppers.

Though the music of Stereo Nation has a bhagra-reggae mix base, its appeal comes from the universality of the music and one finds a balanced mix of hip-hop, rhythm & blues, soul and pop in their style. Taz is today a legend in the Asian underground circuit with a massive fan following. Taz's sounds reflect the inherent mix of Asian, African and western cultural influences that have moulded him. Living and growing up in Coventry. Working as the DJ Johnny Zee, Taz had been mixing the bhangra style with African and Caribbean beats, creating a fertile ground for the coming bumper crop of bhangra mixes. Kendell, was excellent at his own sphere of dub poetry, that presents poetry in a more acceptable format to the accompaniment of popular instruments. Initially Taz's road manager, Kendell soon joined in and the two experimented by mixing their individual traits of music. The combination resulted in their first release Sprits of Rhythm in 1994. The response was electrifying and Stereo Nation soon swept the UK underground scene clean.

The Asian sub-continent was next to go into the trance with the rhythmic fusion of bhangra and African beats. Stereo Nation has had a few releases in UK and three of their albums have been released in India (including the controversial 'I've been waiting'). And Stereo Nation is now all set to release Oh Laila, their fourth album with T Series. No, hang on ,there's more to the group!! Stereo Nation has some new members Kam, Neil and Anthony. In a bid to keep the freshness of their sounds intact, the group is focusing on adding different elements to the show, more percussion.

Stereo Nation is also keeping abreast with the times and incorporating Latino, Cuban, English and other coastal music in their compositionsaand presentations. All said and done, here are two fun loving musicians who incidentally also happen to be the avant -gardes of the bhangra-reggae genre that has made the whole of Asian subcontinent as well as the Asian underground in Europe go balle balle!
