A few words from Tru Skool & Kaos Productions:
Yo people! I Just wanna take this minute to reminisce
about the old Desi remixes - Panjabi Folk mixed with
underground Hip Hop from the early to mid 90's.
Listening to, and producing Hip Hop music as well as
loving Panjabi Folk and UK Bhangra, this short-lived
genre was one of the most favourite and memorable
periods in Bhangra, both as a fan, and as a producer.
With this in mind, fusing Hip Hop with Bhangra/Panjabi
Folk music, for me, was inevitable. However before I got
my foot in there, artists such as 'Death Jamm
Productions' and 'Panjabi MC' had just beat me to it
with their debut releases back in 1993.
Panjabi MC introduced the Folk remixes back in 1995 with
his albums '100% Proof' and 'Magic Desi'. I felt this
was the peak of UK Bhangra until the mid 90's, when both
Bhangra and U.S Hip Hop had started to dilute its sound
and presence.
During that time, I felt that there were two types of
Bhangra. The first being, the type that the bands and
producers like Shinda and Amarjit Sidhu etc were
creating, and the second being the type of people like
Bally Sagoo, PMC, Death Jamm etc were creating. Although
being a huge fan of both styles, the music in this
particular album represents the latter.
Although remixing is regarded a thing of the past and
often associated with negativity, this particular
project has been reproduced with fresh production in
terms of Hip Hop beats n elements and is aimed at those
who appreciate this type of music, although we
understand this audience may have diminished over the
past decade.
We hope there is still an audience for this kind of
music who will enjoy listening to this album.
