Critical Acclaim
"Shards of dubstep, breaks, hip-hop, & drum & bass shine through, but the tone and mood are classically South Asian, with a solid dollop of dub,
resulting in a gorgeous evolution of this longstanding tradition." - Derek Beres, The Huffington Post

"Janaka's new album blows me away with its rich textures, depth and soulful intent. Nearly 10 years in the making, it was worth the wait.” - Nerm, Electro East BBC Radio 1

"Brainchild of the San Francisco Dhamaal crew; enriches our listening experience with an emotional debut delight!” - Pathaan, BBC Asian Network/Globetronica/Liquid Sound

"I was totally taken aback by the maturity and depth of his forthcoming debut artist album, Pushing Air” - Bob Duskis, Six Degrees Records, San Francisco

"Pushing Air helps us to breathe in the latest in wicked Asian wonders. Janaka Selekta at his finest.” - Cheb I Sabbah, Six Degrees Records

"Pushing Air is absolutely brilliant!” - Bobby Friction, BBC Radio 1 & BBC Asian Network
