Bobby Friction is a UK-based DJ/Artist who has represented the
British Asian sound as a DJ all over the world and has built a
reputation as a genre mixing Asian turntablist from Asia to the

dj cheb i sabbah "re-grooves" traditional African, Arabic, and
Asian electronic rhythms with deeply moving sounds drawn from
DJ wizardry and world music aesthetics. He is one of the earliest
practitioners of the art of deejaying as he began spinning in
Parisian discotheques in 1964. (chebisabbah.com)
