Voted Top 20 Favorite far-out dance floor destinations, SF Bay Guardian

Though it's recently been given the pop treatment in North America with the success of artists like Punjabi MC and M.I.A., Bhangra remains one of India's oldest and most recognizable musical and dance forms. Bhangra dancers imitate the act of sowing seeds, but the music takes a less humble shape, with pounding rhythms riding on heavy dhol (drum) tones and tightly plucked string arrangements. Tonight's event features the less traditional version of Bhangra, as DJs Jimmy Love, Earflaps, and Montreal's Pardesi play everything from obscure Bollywood-inspired tunes to "Get Ur Freak On"-styled joints, backing up the Dholrhythms Dance Troupe. -Flavorpill

At Non-Stop Bhangra, resident DJs Earflaps and Jimmy Love mix South Asian hip-hop and electronic beats laced with Dhol drumming, pop vocals, and traditional instruments, while Dholrhythms dance troupe shows the audience how to move.... "The unique mix of a DJ and dance company creates a balance [for] this dance floor craze still just hitting the Bay Area," says Dholrhythms cofounder Vicki Virk. -San Francisco Bay Guardian

With the desire to celebrate the desi driven beats of Bhangra, Non-Stop Bhangra(NSB)is so much more than just the typical club night! NSB is a low-key, fun, and energetic monthly which combines dj's, dance lessons, performances, live dhol (drum), tabla players, visuals, & live painting all dedicated to celebrating the spirit of Bhangra and keeping the vibe focused on making you dance non stop!

Non-Stop Bhangra was born in 2004 when DJ Jimmy Love and Dholrhythms Founders Vicki Virk & Suman Raj  joined up to provide a dance night for students of Dholrhythms Bhangra classes. The demand was evident and soon venues filled up, and a grass roots word of mouth movement began culminating in a monthly event which has become a popular staple of Bay Area nightlife. NonStop bhangra is a huge destination creating sold out nights and write-ups in all local papers as one of the best dancefloor nights in all the Bay Area.

As a raw rough guide to Bhangra, all elements are in a collective effort. NonStop Bhangra Collective has blazed a trail by presenting Punjabi music in a fresh way; an accessible approach which leaves no one out. Mixing traditional tracks as well as remixes, all fused with live dhol drums and scratching. It's impossible to not dance to these heavy driven beats of the dhol drum, guest tabla players and DJ Jimmy Love cutting up songs on the fly. The infectious energy is led by the beautiful ladies of Dholrhythms Dance Troupe who provide dance lessons & performances filled with colorful outfits and smiles that spin your eyes dizzy and compel you to join in the vibe. Visual Dj's cut up videos while live painter, Marcus Murray creates a new piece of art for each event.

The collective continues to increase its efforts to raise awareness and share this beautiful energy with the masses. In addition to playing at the legendry Stern Grove Festival this summer, Dj Jimmy Love and NSB collective have shared stages with artists such as State Of Bengal, Karsh Kale, Chebi Sabbah, J-Boogie Dubtronic Science, Sila and The Afro Funk Experience to the Dhamaal Collective.

Dholrhythms Dance Troupe has danced on some of the largest local stages, from 1015 Folsom, De Young Museum, Pier 39, to the Fillmore, as well as guest dance spots with Michael Franti & Spearhead at their annual Harvest Ball, Harmony Festival and at the Power to the Peaceful Festival last year to around 40,000 people.
