Bangladeshi born producer and DJ Sam Zaman has died of cardiac arrest. He was 50.
Zaman, who performed under the moniker State of Bengal as part of the Asian Underground movement in the UK, died on Wednesday.
Zaman moved to London in the early 80's and became a part of the Asian Underground scene in the UK, reports UK-based website Nada Brahma.
Originally a group that included his brother Deedar and MC Mushtaq, State of Bengal took off when Zaman composed his best-known track to date, “Flight IC408,” which appeared on the 1997 Talvin Singh-helmed compilation Anokha – Soundz of the Asian Underground. The compilation also included another track by Zaman, “Chittagong Chill.”
