Old School Sunday: Panjabi By Nature “Gal Ban Gayee” & “Put Sardara De” Medley
I was going through an old hard drive and stumbled upon this video.
Released in 2003, these tracks were on PBNs Sophomore album “Next Episode”.
The two songs featured the vocals of Amar Arshi and Dippa Dosanjh.
Lyrics to the two songs were written by Manjeet Tesi Wala and Lalli Megwal.
You can buy these tracks from iTunes.

Old School Sunday – Safri Boys “The Boys Boliyan”
From the 1993 album “Bomb The Tumbi”, Balwinder Safri did just that.
Get a load of the Tumbi in The Boys Boliyan.
You can buy Bomb The Tumbi from iTunes.

Old School Sunday – Heera “Nach Diyan Dowain Soniyan”
I don’t really have to make any introductions for this track, as it was one of the biggest songs of my generation.
The album also featured the hits “Nach Ke Dikha”, “Tappe”, “Sas Kutni”, and “Rabbaa Ki Kariye”.
And what Heera related post can I write, without saying Deepak Khazanchi is a Don.

Old School Sunday – Jas Virdee “Rifle”
Here’s a rare video back from 2003. It features Jas Virdees track “Rifle”, from his album “It Has Begun.”
Featuring the vocals of Manak-E, and a heavy Reggae b-line, this was one of a couple Jas Virdee tracks I bumped.
You may also know, Jas Virdee formed one third of Big Poppa Cartel, which also featured Dark MC, and Ricky Singh.

Old School Sunday: Bally Jagpal “Mur Vatneyia”
From 2001, Untruly Yours may have featured only 4 tracks, and probably ticked a few people off with having to pay £7 for the album back then (if you really purchased it.) But I still loved the tracks.
Ranjha was nice, and Aja Sohneya (remix) was, well you know what it was, but this Ranjit Mani, UK Garage infused track still was the one that got the highest amount of replays from me.

Old School Sunday: Ballay Jagpal “Bewafa”
Long before Imran Khan was crooning about it, Ranjit Mani and Bally Jagpal had their own OG UK Bhangra version of the track “Bewafa.”
Dating back to 1997, this track was featured on “Live & Direct” (as well as “Dark & Direct”).
The album featured a few other great songs like “Nakhre Bin Soni Temi”, and “Putt Sardara De”. But for me, any song that uses that James Brown guitar riff is a winner.

Old School Sunday: Awaaz Group “Ban Than Gidhe Wich”
What? Yeah I know it has been a long time since I posted, and an even longer time since I posted an Old School Sunday track. My apologies.
I woke up this morning feeling good. Invigorated (must be the supposed one hour extra sleep I got from daylight savings ending – ok, most likely not). Or Fernando’s great display against Chelski today. I digress.
From 1988, here is a treat from the Awaaz Group. Hardcore Bhangra fans may know of this group. But man I surely passed this song over, until my sister opened my eyes to it.
Taken from the album “Jee Kar Da”, the song was written by Apna Sangeet’s K.S. Bhamrah.
Enjoy.
P.S. To the peeps that continued visiting and supporting the site, looking for new material and have been disappointed, I sincerely apologise. I’ll make it up to y’all.

Old School Sunday – Madan Maddi “Nanaan Ghor Ghor”
Going back to 1996, this track sung by Madan Maddi was featured on Big Boom. It was also this album, that featured “Do Jugtan” by Jazzy B.
I want to say that’s a Lil Suzy sample, but I could be off with that one.

Old School Sunday – Amit and Sanj “Tina O Tina”
I definitely have to post up more songs by Amit and Sanj of Executives.
During the eighties and nineties, these guys had one of the best series (10 in all) of remix tapes available on the UK Bhangra market.
To kick off how good they were, here is their take on Premi’s “Tina o Tina” from Extra Hot Volume 5.
Notice the Snap! “The Power” sample? Kind of hard not to, but these guys were the first to do it. They also did a few Hindi remixes as well as an Argentina football song remix (I’ll excuse them for that.)

Old School Sunday – Taio Cruz “Rainfall” (Rishi Rich Remix)
Taio Cruz is a UK based artist who hooked up with Nitin Sawhney on his 2003 album, “Human.”
Rishi Rich later did a remix for the song, which is what you see in this weeks dose of Old School Sunday.
Every time I listen to this song, I lose myself in the serene sound.
