Deeps Pabla “Aja Mahi” Music Video Contest
Deeps Pabla is set to release his latest single, “Aja Mahi” this Summer, and for the upcoming video he is running a contest.
He wants you to provide the ultimate love story, and then he will turn the winning entry into the music video.
As Deep Pabla put it, “This hasn’t been done before in the Indian music industry, by giving the consumers a chance to be part of the creative process in music.”
I agree. It’s a great idea in which someone’s creative vision, or actual love story will be immortalised.
Hit up deepspabla.com for more info.
Contest ends May 1, 2010.

Old School Sunday – RDB featuring Metz and Trix “Aja Mahi”
Going back to 2002, this has got to be one of the biggest tracks of that year.
RDB were in full swing of putting out album after album, hit after hit. They had a knack for using some of the most popular samples of that time, and morphing it into their own eastern influenced banger. This track was no different, as it featured the “Sweet Like Chocolate” sample by Shanks & Bigfoot.
The song also featured the Metz and Trix duo, and at that point, I liked them a lot – I know it’s something I shouldn’t publicly admit now but, these dudes did justice to the track, with their own flavour and lyrics that made some sense before they totally lost the plot.
I had never seen the video up until a few weeks ago, and yeah it is more than a bit laughable. One of the comments on YouTube ask if this video was made with a VHS camera.
Originally released on the album “Danger 2,” RDB later had a falling out with Metz and Trix, and decided to reproduce this track without their aide, and I must say, it didn’t sound at the same level as this original.
