Days of Bhangra Producers Lives: Where PMC Misses the Hardest Working Man in Show Biz
Seems like most Bhangra Producers are on twitter these days. With tweets ranging from album updates, what they’re doing to pass time, or how good they are at cooking, twitter is a little telescope into their day to day life. However every now and then, they may also paint an even more interesting picture of what is running through their mind. This feature helps you chew on what is happening in Bhangra Producers lives.

Anyone who jumps in an elevator to avoid one small flight of stairs deserves to be slapped at the back of their head with a fish! #lazy

D-E-A “String You Along/Sarangi Chillout”
Hailing from Leicester, D-E-A (Dhol Enforcement Agency) quietly released this video and an EP (On A Serious Note) on iTunes, as well as an app (D-E-A Sarangi) featuring the sounds featured on their EP.
What do you think? I think the first song in the video has some good kick to it.

DJ Harpz “Jaan Nachdi”
DJ Harpz finally released his first video from his upcoming album “You Think You Know”. Featuring the vocals of Bakshi Billa, the album will also contain the vocals of Inder Kooner of En Karma, Sukhwinder Panchi, Meet Malkit, Jaswinder Daghamia, Romesh Chohan, Jaswant Heera and many more. Of all the vocalists listed, I’m most excited to hear what Harpz has in store for us with his collaboration with Romesh Chohan.

Jay Status & DJ Sanj “Katal Kare”
After the success of Chugliyan, DJ Sanj and Jay Status have put on offer this dance floor anthem. You know DJ Sanj has the uncanny ability to make a track that sounds like another one of his hits, but is switched up just the right amount to make you say “yeah, I’m feeling this”.
Also, it’s finally good to see Jay Status get a legit chance of showcasing his talent.

Tigerstyle “Ik Banere”
Here goes Tigerstyle’s latest offering from their upcoming album Digi-Bhang.
Featuring the vocals of Ms Rajni – who was 16 years old at the time of recording. The track is mellowed out with hints of uptempo beats. Tigerstyle really layered on a bevy of intricate sounds, making it one of those late night drive down the DVP in the summer time with the sunroof open type of joints.

Free Download: Saddiq Drops A Rap
Twin Beats dropped an impromptu free download yesterday, as they ready their next album. According to Inder of Twin Beats, the song was inspired by music he used to hear on Yo! MTV Raps back in the day. The song title came about as he thought the way Mohd. Saddiq was singing, sounded like a Panjabi rap verse.
In case you were wondering, the two samples used were Jeru The Damaja’s “Ya Playin Yaself” and Craig Mack’s “Flava In Ya Ear”.
Download the song above through the soundcloud link, or directly down below.
