Swami Premiere “Dumdaraka” on Friction
The last new material we heard from Swami, was when they performed in Mississauga last year.
So when I heard Bobby Friction would be interviewing Diamond and playing a new track last night, you know I had to tune in.
Diamond talks to Bobby Friction:
Highlights from the interview:
Making all the lyrics match (English, Hindi, Punjabi) is very difficult
The album will be very electronic, as it has always had a big influence on Diamond, and it will be very experimental
All live instruments were played for the album (No sampling – “but not like there is anything wrong with that”)
There will be Punjabi and Hindi influences and vocals on the album
The album is a culmination of two years worth of recording
Diamond assures the album will contain a lot of different stuff, and there will be something for everybody on there
It will be releasing at the end of Summer
(I think Bobby Friction may be the one person more excited than I am about the release)
And now for a snippet of “Dumdaraka” (Dub Upgrade Mix)

Panjabi MC on Friction
Panjabi MC was on the Friction show last night, and I managed to catch the interview as well as get an exclusive listen to some of the tracks coming off “Indian Timing.”
Here’s the rundown from the show:
It had been six years since Panjabi MC had appeared on any radio show, and it was definitely a wise choice to accept Bobby’s invitation to have a sit down in the studio.
PMC’s take on Jeona Mohr:
The rap in the track wasn’t aimed at anyone in particular, but more towards record labels and the lack of infrastructure in the industry.
PMC’s take on the album:
PMC had produced 60 dub plates while on tour, and eventually he knew that he had to put out an album. He originally planned to only have ten tracks on the album, but twenty seemed more right. According to him, 16 of the tracks are hits.
“Snakecharmer,” which has been hovering around the internets for some time now, is the official single with a forthcoming video release.
PMC said that the album will be under pressed, meaning that once all the copies are sold, you won’t be able to find any originals anywhere.
He also said, that if you order the album from his website, he will personally pack the CD and mail it to you.
He was on the show for over an hour just playing track after track. As you know, “Jeona Mohr” is on my infinite play list at the moment, but it soon may be trumped by “Can’t Stop Us.” The track is simply bananas! As soon as the Tumbi kicked in, I got this spine tingling sensation, and then an absolute militant beat kicks in with a Dhol. Seriously dope stuff people!
A lot of people are pegging “Kee Lagh Da” as the “it” track, but I’m telling you right now from what I heard; Can’t Stop Us > Kee Lagh Da
He also played a track which sampled the A-Team theme music in it. That’s like the third TV show theme he’s pimped.
What next? Air Wolf? Street Hawk? Beverly Hills 90210?
You can check the interview out on Friction’s site until next Wednesday (BBC Asian Network link in sidebar)
The album drops on November 1. To order your copy of Indian Timing, and to get it mailed out to you by PMC himself, head to PMC Records
