Armana Khan

Armana Khan is a New York DJ who grew up on Desi and world music rather than American pop, and builds sets that put bhangra next to afrobeats and tabla over techno. Playing as Thee Pakistani Princess, she researches what she plays and mixes political records with playful ones, often in the same run.

In New York she started Khanistan, a party series with its own fund that covers tickets for people who cannot afford the door. Her sets have gone out on NTS and Rinse France, and she has toured Europe, with dates in Glasgow, Nuremberg and Berlin, as well as Australia.
