Preet Mani “Yaari” Video & Free Download
I recently wrote how much I enjoyed the very short but sweet clip of Preet Mani’s track “Akh Mastani” on the DJ KSR “Forever” Mixtape.
Well Brampton representative, Preet just dropped his latest video entitled “Yaari” off his upcoming mixtape “Mani in the Making.”
I’m definitely feeling the chillness of the track, and the Sitar in the hook is a splendid touch of production.
Canada continues to impress.

Free Download – DJ KSR “Forever” Mixtape
I know I’ve been away from the blog a bit, but I think this will more than make up for it. BIG time!
Released last month, DJ KSR’s Forever Mixtape is by far the best bhangra mixtape I have heard. It covers the key genres, and the mixing creativity is sublime. Anyone that comes up with mixing LMFAO’s “Shots” with DJ Vix’ “Ah Chak Bottal” followed by Kaka’s “Daru Peeke” is Aces in my books.
Artists covered range from the following:
Imran Khan, Diljit, Sarbjit Cheema, Malkit, JK, Heera, Dark MC, Kaka, Miss Pooja, House of Pain, Drake, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Jay-Z and some Bollywood tunes I’m not that aware of for obvious reasons. (Trust me this list is the tip of the iceberg.)
Download here.
My favourite part (about 11 minutes in) is this Preet Mani track “Akh Mastani.” The dude is from the Toronto area, and I really could use some more info on him as well.
DJ KSR has been on the scene for 7 years, and he will be releasing his first official album this summer. For more info on him, check out his facebook page.
P.S. You’re welcome.

Free Download – ZeeKay “The Mixtape”
ZeeKay has been doing his thing for a few years now. He’s released a few singles, but has yet to release his debut album due to delays. Fear not though, as he has put together a mixtape of the stuff he has released thus far.
Nine tracks make up the mixtape, and if I may say so, it’s a must download for the two versions of “My Moment.” (The Twin Beats Remix being the dopest.)
Download the mixtape here.

Free Download – Aman Sandhu “Koka Nakhro Da”
Check out the above promo for Aman Sandhu’s debut single “Koka Nakhro Da.”
I think it’s safe to say, this is the first good free download for Bhangra lovers in 2010 no?
Aman Sandhu was born and raised in Chandigarh, India, and has recently hooked up with a Toronto-based producer (who is also making his debut with this track) named sOe.

Free Download – Indy Sagu “INDYNATION” Remixes
Indy Sagu has worked on an album of remixes titled “INDYNATION.” So far he has released two of the remixes; Fabolous’ 2004 track “Breathe” and Missy Elliott’s 2001 track “One Minute Man.”
Of the two, Fabo’s track has the better sounding music, but I’ll leave you guys to decide.
As you can see from the album art, Indy will continue to release more bootleg remixes, and I’ll post them up as he does.
Fabolous – Breathe

Free Download – New Year Mega Mix
What a great way to start the New Year.
I got this mix from Rav-E (a resident DJ and Dhol player at San Francisco’s Non Stop Bhangra) this morning. I gave it a quick listen, broke out of my chair busting a move, and figured I should post this up asap. This mix has just the right BPM, and I’m sure, as it has me still doing it, will have you toe tapping and bouncing in your chairs in no time.
Rav-E says he is all about spreading Bhangra to new ears and breaking cultural barriers, and from what I’ve heard, the Bay Area Bhangra party’s are real fun. If you’re in the San Francisco Area, you can keep track of him and Non Stop Bhangra by checking out nonstopbhangra.com and myspace.com/deejayrave

Top 5 Free Downloads of 2009
I’m going to try my best and bang out some year end posts today.
First off, I think we should deal with the best downloads the UK Bhangra world had to offer this year.
To qualify as best download, they had to be freely given by the artists themselves.
It’s funny how some albums have come out, and I hear people say “Man, that album is not even worth the download.” Well the past few years, artists have made a concerted effort to actually give away really good free stuff. These freebies I believe, could actually fetch a few pence had they been solely put on the market, so enjoy. Of course, all of the downloads here at bhangraw.com are legit, and I would say that, even the one’s that didn’t make the top 5 are worth the download. (So head on over to the downloads section.)
Without further ado; the top 5 downloads of 2009.
Number 5 – DJ Vix “Ah Chak Bottal”
DJ Vix has a knack for making some killer mixes. He took his original, got rid of almost any resemblance of Indian instruments, and turned up the BPM’s to create a dance track fit for a rave.
Number 4 – En Karma “En Karma Diyan Boliyan”
The boys from Vancouver did not disappoint in their second free download. They got together and produced a track that I found myself singing along to on most occasions. Memorise the lyrics and surprise your Auntys and Uncles at your next fam jam why don’t ya?
Number 3 – Gurteshwar Grewal “Dil Dangdi”
This track came out of nowhere, and once again it’s a Canadian product. The vocals and the production worked really well together, and once again I found myself listening to this on repeat.
Number 2 – Twin Beats “Manak Drops the Pressure”
This track surprised me the most. I never thought I would hear a house track mixed with a Manak track – and be done so well. If you haven’t heard it yet, you’re wasting time reading this line. Get to it!
Number 1 – Swami “Sugarless”
By far one of the biggest tracks of the year, period. No one – not even the band – knew that this track would take on a life of it’s own the world over. So much so, Swami were prompted to make a video. Of all the tracks I have given away, this one yields the most “thank you for the song…..and introducing me to Swami.” You’re welcome bhangraw fam.
