Toronto’s Original DJ-JITEN, is considered by many the pioneer of the South Asian DJ/party scene in North America. Not only was he the first DJ in North America to play desi music at parties, he was the 1st to create the ever popular “Hindi Remix” genre. He started out in 1990 in his hometown of Toronto, Canada- where he DJ’d his first major event. Believe it or not, back then the concept of playing desi music at parties was non-existent. What he did on the turntables that night, not only spawned a career for him, but many others soon after. He mixed desi music with urban beats! It is quite common these days, but back then it was something completely new and exciting. It was the birth of a new scene, with Jiten right in the middle of it.

Since that time DJ-Jiten has released over 20 CD's, and toured almost every major city in North America 10 times over, including New York, LA, Chicago, Miami, Houston- the list goes on…In October of 2003, DJ-Jiten released another offering - The Bollywood Connection. It was a project done jointly with Tips Music India and Kiss Records from the UK. He was sent original master recordings from the Tips vault to current film songs, and he added his magic touch. The album made the bestseller chart in days! More importantly, it hit #1 on BBC Asian network charts for more than 8 weeks straight!

Five years have passed and DJ-Jiten is finally back with the follow up album- Bollywood Connection Vol 2. Quite possibly his most “refined” work yet. The remixes don’t sound like remixes- they sound like they should be the originals! Again jointly released by Kiss Records UK/Tips India- the album is expected to make waves in the UK/India and worldwide!
