Sawhney is perhaps the best-known musician featured on Asian Lounge. As an artist of Indian heritage currently living in the UK, Sawhney's eclectic musical offerings incorporate everything from drum and bass to classical Indian music, making him a leading figure in Britain's "Asian Underground".

Also pulling from the rich heritage of Indian music is the German artist Prem Joshua, whose "Funky Guru"blends Sufi chants, Sanskrit poetry and Indian folk music with Western electronica. Joshua has become a music star in India and frequently records with noted Indian musician Manish Vyas.

Audiences around the world will also delight to hear "Eastern Journey," a track from producer and multi-instrumentalist Biddu, whose extensive career includes co-writing credits on the 70s funk-disco super hit "Kung Fu Fighting". A recurring figure in both the Indian and UK music scenes.

Another familiar face you may recognize on Asian Lounge is that of famed health and wellness guru Deepak Chopra.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to Oxfam America and Oxfam Novib in support of their development efforts in Asia.
