En Karma “Tere Bina Nahi Nachna” Video
En Karma are ready to release their debut album, in fact it’s going to release tomorrow (July 30.)
This is a big album release in more ways than one.
First off, the sixteen track album is a Canadian product. Secondly, the album is a product of a band. Not a DJ, not a Producer with a number of collaborations, but one group of guys in it together from the get go.
We heard a tasty sample, when they released “Tohar Naal Jeena.”
And now we get to see what H-Dhami could do with En Karma.
I’ve never been a fan of H-Dhami. But his vocals with Inder Kooner sound pretty good.

DJ Sanj “Neriyan/Ni Aaja Teray” Video
DJ Sanj is back with the release of American Desi. The anticipated release should have been something special, I thought maybe someone with enough experience as DJ Sanj and all that he has accomplished, he would be beyond the in your face sampling stage.
I was wrong.
True, the market in North America is different from the UK market, as people here don’t mind a sample in their music. Thanks to people like Sanj, we are used to it.
But for us Bhangra lovers with a discerning taste (who may or may not like to drink a cup of tea with a pinky out,) find that the music on the two songs featured in the video was not worth waiting around for. To top it off, I think this was probably one of Miss Poojas best vocals that I have heard in some time.
On the flip side, the one saving grace on the album, was the Master Saleem track. I have had “Teray Hussan De Marre” on repeat for some time.
Spend the 99 cents on a quality track.
Buy American Desi on iTunes.
