(eMusicWire.Org) – “ONEPOINTNOTHING” is the sound of Jalebee Cartel mixing up genres in a 72-minute trip that rewires the future and contorts the past. With a short, sharp and brutal declaration of intent, Jalebee Cartel—still underground after all these years—chases the dream of putting India on the world electronic dance map.

Jalebee Cartel’s journey has included releases of over 50 red-hot club records on some of the most respected underground dance labels in the world and on numerous prestigious compilations. “ONEPOINTNOTHING” releases on DadA Music on 25th March 2009. The quality of their music is evident from the interest shown by A-list DJs like Pete Tong, Tiesto and Hernan Cattaneo, among others.
Each member of this four-piece band brings his unique sound to the Cartel, remarkably shown in “Mirrors”, a unique blend of heavy guitar riffs, bouncy basslines and twisted melodies. The band’s explosive live set has amassed a huge fan following, both in India and internationally. “Midnite Madness”, a high-energy percussion-driven track, is a tribute to these fans.

Jalebee Cartel has never shied away from challenging innovations. Their music video of “Tough Cookie” is a classic example of this. Peaking at #4 on the VH1 music video charts, it was an obvious addition to the album. Jalebee salutes the likes of Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode and Underworld with “Dark Shadows”, a club anthem with old school synths, guitars and vocals. The band defines their new sound with “Apartment 88”, a funky tech-house tune, and “A Crazy Virus on Akerstraat”, a peak-time techno monster.

The album’s 12 tracks reiterate the fact that Jalebee Cartel is constantly evolving, making them the undisputed kings of electronic dance music in India.

Beginning March 20th 2009, Jalebee Cartel will embark on the mammoth “ONEPOINTNOTHING” tour, panning nightclubs all across India in association with Submerge.

Tour dates will be announced shortly.
