When the five-member band of Jalebee Cartel get onstage, it’s not just musical instruments that accompany them, but laptops and electronic drums as well. Also known to be a band of DJs, Jalebee Cartel finally released their first album, Regathering, on Friday at the Delhi restaurant, 6 Month Story.

“It’s not an artist album but a mixed CD that explores what we have been doing in the past and what we will be doing in the future. So the sound of it starts at something melancholic and goes on to harder, dance tracks,” says Arjun Vagale, who does the mixing and the scratching for the band. Their 11-track compilation, which is exclusively available at their shows, they say, is a retrospective of their journey over the last few years and has songs that have been released as singles as well as three unreleased tracks.

“The songs on this album are a mixture of those that we made and were remixed by international DJs and those by other artists that we have remixed,” adds Ash Roy, vocalist and percussionist of the band.

The band whose inception goes back to 2000 has performed at the various music festivals in the country including the Big Chill festival and the Sunburn Fest that played host to the likes of Carl Cox’s performance . They’ve also performed and composed for the MTV Style Awards 2005.
