Top bhangra music maker, Panjabi by Nature (PBN), has teamed up with world renowned bhangra band, DCS, for his brand new single release, Sadi Gal Hor Yah.

The latest PBN single is the second release from the music producer’s forthcoming album. The new studio album from PBN, Me, Myself and Music, will be the hit maker’s sixth album and the bhangra star has big plans for the new record as he hopes to release it internationally to appeal to an audience outside of the UK where he is already a recognized name.

PBN is no stranger to collaborations having worked alongside musical heavy weights such as the queen of bhangra, Miss Pooja, and leading British Asian vocalist, H-Dhami in the past.

Despite having working with some top names from the music industry previously, PBN couldn’t hide his delight at the news he would be collaborating with leading bhangra band, DCS, writing on Twitter that he has been hoping to make music with the live group for some time.

DCS have a long and distinguished history in the music business spanning almost 30 years. Lead singer Shin has long been regarded as one of the best British Asian vocal talents having come to international acclaim through the band’s energetic live performances which have seen them tour the world.

The new single from PBM featuring DCS was released on iTunes on November 10th along with the upbeat music video featuring the two acts. Check out the new PBM single, Sadi Gal Hor Yah, and tell us if you think it has the potential to be a dance floor filler.

‘*Kaun Ne Jaandah*’ is to be *PBN*’s first release of 2010 and the first from his next album ‘*Crowd Pleaser*’.

PBN

Teaming up with *The Dhol Foundation*, PBN has produced what is to be another huge dancefloor hit, full of energy, excitement and crazy dhol beats.

The track is due for release in a few weeks, but here are some pictures from the video shoot which are sure to get Bhangra audiences wondering what the collaboration between the hugely popular Bhangra producer and The Dhol Foundation will sound like.

Panjabi By Nature (PBN) is one of UK’s most successful Asian music artists. Hailing from Wolverhampton (UK), PBN’s music has vastly impacted the sound of UK Bhangra. Smash hit tracks such as ‘Aashiq’, ‘Dancefloor’, ‘Jaan Panjabi’, ‘Nain Preeto De’ and ‘Aaj Me Peeni’, which are by far some of the biggest party anthems to have emerged from the scene, have also positioned PBN as one of the most recognised Brit-Asian Artists.

His formula of catchy hooks and heavy beats, blended with UK flavours has earned him the title of ‘the Hit Maker’ topping charts across the nation. His production skills and talent have gained him immense recognition and support from the industry, leading to collaborations with the likes of Malkit Singh, Apache Indian and The Dhol Foundation.

Panjabi By Nature asks fans for ideas on a title for his new album

Brit-Asian bhangra artist Panjabi By Nature (PBN) has reached out to his fans via the social networking site, Facebook, to gain some inspiration for his forthcoming album. The eagerly anticipated new release from the Wolverhampton based music producer is due to hit the shelves in spring of this year, provided the fans come up with a suitable title in time that is.

The hit-maker’s last album, Homegrown, brought us a great clutch tracks including the popular single Aashiq featuring Miss Pooja, and the track, Dancefloor. Panjabi By Nature is hoping to emulate this success with his forthcoming album, and getting the fans involved in the creation of the record is great way of raising awareness and interest in the music before its even been released.

The bhangra star is said to be in the process of completing the album, but wanted to involve his loyal fans in the decision on the new title.

As well as releasing a number of great tracks from the Homegrown album, PBN has also been collaborating with a number of other artists over the last 12 months including Malkit Singh and H-Dhami whose track Nachdi Vekhna, PBN remixed to fantastic effect.

So if you’ve had a flash of inspiration and believe you have the perfect title for Panjabi By Nature’s forthcoming album, head onto his Facebook page and make your idea known!
