Gtown Desi Release “1134″
Looks like we have our first substantial release of 2010, with the release of Gtown Desi’s “1134.”
The album quietly went on sale yesterday on the VIP Records website, and I’m sure it will soon reach iTunes.
For now, have a listen to promos of seven of the thirteen tracks that will be on the album.
Tor Vehka (Remix) – Jaswant Heera
Type of Guy – Nikitta
Sharaab – Poonam & Ramesh
Naal Nachna (Remix) – Jasa J
Lok Tath – Jaswant Heera
Why You Lie – Charlene
Tor Vehka – Jaswant Heera
Lok Tath is by far my favourite tune. I thought Drum n Bass had been long dead in the Bhangra genre, but with this track, it’s back in a big way.
The PR release for the album had stated that the album had been in the works for 5 years, and after listening to Tor Vehka, I realised, that it had already been released in 2005 on Pure Desi Vol. 1.
With the release of the album, came the release of the video. Take a look at the video premiere of “Peerh.”

The album can be purchased from VIP Records.

Northern Lights – “Nakreh” Video & “Re-Lit” Release
After the success of their 2006 release “Sparked,” Northern Lights is back with the release of “Re-Lit”
If you don’t remember “Sparked,” you missed some anthems in the form of “Aashiq Dig Dig,” “Billo Tere Nakreh,” “Janaab” and my personal favourite “Wrong Number” – which used the Clipse’s “Grindin” sample in a ridiculously sick way.
The first video to be released off the new album is “Nakreh” sung by Ashok Gill.
Not a bad track eh? I still have an issue with the lyric “Saal Solama Chari Jawani” but what can you do?
Since I posted this video after the release of the album, I thought I’d chat a bit about the album.
It has a wide array of musical genres, and I think it is really well made, and also somewhat different than what we have recently been hearing.
It’s got a total of sixteen tracks, of which six to eight I say, should be guaranteed locks to be in your mp3 player.
Hit up the iTunes store and listen to the following tracks;
“Put Jattan da Bounce” featuring Master Saleem. (There isn’t one Eastern instrument in the track, but it works)
“Nakreh” featuring Ashok Gill.
“Akhan de Ishareh” featuring Kaka Bhaniawala. (It’s Kaka. Nuff said)
“Ishqeh da Tumba” featuring Amrinder Bobby. (Dude has a Gurdas Maan like voice going on)
“Bindrakhia Boliyan” featuring Jaswant Heera. (It’s getting traditional now, and the homage paid to the late great is fantastic)
“Re-Lit Tappe” featuring Labh Janjua. (It’s full out traditional now, and by far my favourite Janjua track right about now)
“Gaddi” featuring Ranjit Mani. (Another great vocalist continuing the traditional vibe)
The last three tracks traditional flavour seriously has got me feeling ummm drunk? That’s how traditional they are.
There’s also a “Wrong Number” and “Janaab” remix, but I’m feeling the original version’s off “Sparked,” although this one uses the Lil Wayne “Lollipop” sample. The “Janaab” track does have a cool sounding Qawali feel to it.
I was pleasantly surprised by the scope of this album, and it definitely has got to be considered in the debate for best album this year.
