Bhangraw.com Interviews Swami
At long last the exclusive interview with Swami.
It was an eye opening experience as they shed light on a variety of topics.
It’s splendid to know that the band strives for the highest standard possible. Mediocrity wont cut it for them, and neither is maintaining the status quo as far as their production and work is concerned. Conformism, is not a word in the Swami dictionary, they are, and will always strive to evolve to be the progressive trendsetters.
They opened up my eyes, by explaining the true meaning of mainstream. I can see clearly now, how a band, or any individual should view their fan base to achieve longevity in the business.
Swami wants you to understand and appreciate their music sooner, and I think with their touring schedule and releases, and just their energy in general, people should grasp their concept a lot sooner.
I was really interested in hearing their musical influences, and as expected I got an eclectic response. Knowing what an artist is influenced by can help a listener relate to songs, as well as knowing what makes them get the creative juices flowing.
Speaking of creative juices, the “Electro Jugni/She’s Mine” single is set for digital release in approximately three weeks. The video is currently in post production.
Also, I’m quite happy by the fact that you guys are some of the first people to know that DJ Swami aka Diamond did a remix of Tigerstyle’s “Balle! Shava!” It will be one of the tracks on the upcoming Tigerstyle album.
Finally, I want to thank S-Endz, Swami and Luc Vergier of Cigale Entertainment for their genuine outstanding attitude and cooperation during the process.
Enjoy the full interview after the jump.

How I got an Interview with Swami in Brampton
Last night was one of those nights that you think nothing will work out, and next thing you know everything just happens to click.
To set up the events of last night, I have to go back a month

S-Endz of Swami and I had been corresponding since I found out that they were coming down to Brampton to perform. He offered to set up an Interview with the group if I wanted to do so, and I definitely did.
