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.

Old School Sunday – Sound Ministry “Deor Da Viah”
I haven’t heard this song in a minute. So when I came across this CD in my car and played it, I remember how heavy the B-line was.
I’m still not sure who is and isn’t in Sound Ministry (Sanj and his brother Lil Sach are usually featured alongside them.) But what I do know is, that the song features the vocals of Dippa Dosanjh, and the album was released in 2002.
What you should do is turn the volume way up.

Deep Cold & Kamla Punjabi “Siti Maar/Rim Kamonde” Video
This one went under the radar for a few months, and I’m kinda glad it did.
Texas duo, Deep Cold and Kamla Punjabi are set to soon release their debut album “Nach Nach.”
It’s a blend of east meets west with hip hop and Punjabi vocals.
I guess Deep Cold has something going for him with his raps, and they also have the musical backing of J-Nas aka DJ Sanj. But then, after looking at this video, I get visions of one huge Big Suga Kane collaboration on the horizon.
Have a look.
Was that a Malkit Singh “Mithe Ganne” melody in “Rim Kamonde???”

DJ Sanj “Hum Tume” Video
I previously reported that DJ Sanj was releasing a Bollywood album this year before he releases another four albums. Here is the lead video off of “Bollywood Punk” titled “Hum Tume.” I’ve also posted the 2 promos I thought were previously too fruity to post. I’ve come around on the “Aahkon Mein” one.
“Bollywood Punk” is scheduled to release in October.

Old School Sunday – “Tenu Bulondee”
I never caught on with the “Das Ja” hype, so this weeks Old School Sunday joint is my favourite DJ Sanj track.
The year was 2002, and the album was the first in the series of “America’s Most Wanted.”
The production was simple yet effective. A strong Surinder Shinda vocal coupled with a Michael Jackson sample as well as Malkit’s “Jugni” sample led to a Sanj club banger.
