Following the groundbreaking success of Volume 1, Naya Beat Volume 2 offers another lovingly curated dive into a rich and overlooked era of South Asian house, street soul, and downtempo, originally released between 1988 and 1994. Acclaimed by Pitchfork (8.0/10), DJ Mag, Mixmag, and 4Columns, this compilation was The Vinyl Factory’s #1 reissue of 2024 and featured on year-end best-of lists from Phonica Records, Juno, KCRW, and In Sheep’s Clothing.

While Volume 1 explored early ’80s Balearic, synth-pop, and disco, Volume 2 focuses on the diasporic scenes of London and New York, spotlighting the fusion of South Asian music with acid house, New Beat, dub, and more. From The Jets Orkhestra’s organ-fueled club banger “X-290” to the haunting downtempo of West India Company featuring Asha Bhosle, this collection is a crate digger’s dream of rare, never-before-reissued gems.

Curated by Turbotito & Ragz, the album is housed in a stunning gatefold with limoncello and purple haze eco-friendly 180-gram vinyl, and expertly mastered by Grammy-nominated Frank Merritt (The Carvery, London).
