HopeStreet Recordings

The Bombay Royale is an eleven piece Retro-Bollywood Jugganaut and their debut album “You Me Bullets Love” is available now from HopeStreet Recordings. With shimmering spaghetti guitar, screaming organs, epic strings and a thundering horn section, this is our opus to the cinematic sounds of 1970′s Indian cinema. An explosive, three minute roller coaster ride with all the trimmings – romance, kidnapping, hot brass, kung fu, a Tiger, a maiden in distress and a secret formula falling into the wrong hands. Will the masked marauders pull off the ultimate heist? Or will they all totally lose their minds before they get the chance, dancing themselves into a surfadelic frenzy in their own loungeroom? Who will win the affections of the Mysterious Lady? Can anyone beat Chip Chase when it comes to elegant wardrobing decisions? Where exactly is this crazy ride going to end?

We’re offering this song as a free download to everyone on our mailing list – head to www.hopestreetrecordings.com/ymbl to sign up!

HopeStreet Recordings is proud to present DJ Manchild’s Bollywood Gold.

In 2002 and 2003, Melbourne’s DJ Manchild, record collector, funk aficionado and all round fun guy spent over a year travelling though India searching for the lost gold of 60′s 70′s and 80′s Bollywood records. He returned with four crates of vinyl gleaned from the streets, market stalls and stores of Kolkata, Mumbai and Dehli and many smaller cities in between. Here he presents his favourite twelve records from that journey and the wild and exotic sounds inscribed on them.

DJ Manchild’s Bollywood Gold is released in conjunction with Dj Manchild’s Nonstop Disco Dandia mixtape, 53 minutes of dancefloor destroying Hindi funk and disco from the Golden Years of Bollywood. All original vinyl, all hand dug in India by the man himself. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

The Skipper (aka Andy Williamson) talks about his band The Bombay Royale and their show at The Spiegeltent – “it would have been nice to play in a real building, but if you’ve got to play in a tent I suppose this is as good as any”!

DJ Jumps of Australian sensation The Cat Empire has produced a compilation of latin and afro music from around the globe, and it just so happens that 2 of the 3 Australian songs are from HopeStreet artists!  The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra‘s Mr Clean and The Bombay Royale‘s Sote Sote Adhi Raat feature alongside Osibisa, Fanga and much more.  Jumps has toured the world many times over and his collection is all the better for it.
