Originally released to critical acclaim and named The Vinyl Factory’s #1 reissue of 2021, Naya Beat Volume 1 returns in a stunning Indie Exclusive edition featuring 180-gram eco-friendly Sky Blue & Red Alert vinyl in a deluxe gatefold package.

Spanning India, Pakistan, the U.K., Canada, Guyana, and Suriname, this 2LP compilation highlights rare and overlooked South Asian dance and electronic gems released between 1983 and 1992. From disco and synth-pop to Balearic rhythms and club-ready anthems, this release serves as a reference point for collectors and selectors alike—featuring both original tracks and tasteful reworks by Turbotito & Ragz, the compilation's curators.

Meticulously remastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Frank Merritt (The Carvery, London), Volume 1 includes previously unreissued rarities and dancefloor grails from legendary artists like Sheila Chandra, Asha Puthli, Bappi Lahiri, Babla & His Orchestra, and more.
