DJ SURINDER RATTAN FT. JOGA SINGH & METZ N TRIX “Has Has”
Surinder Rattan is at it again with the help of Metz & Trix and Joga Singh. This of course is a follow up track to the one he produced for Metz and Trix but which hasn’t had a video, or an official iTunes release. It’s kind of baffling because OMG is a more likable tune for me, and would appeal to a more broader audience. Nevertheless, Surinder Rattan has a good thing going for him with the direction he has taken his music, and I’m confident in saying there should be more great tunes with this vibe to come.
Purchase the song from iTunes.
