My bad experiences are usually, but not always, with first-time judges at big comps like Burgh, Bruin, etc. Not saying that every first time judge is like that but your first time judging shouldn't be at a comp with a huge ass name with hard ass lineups. Get your feet wet at a smaller comps

I think UBJ was def a good starting point and should get revived again. If everyone posted their bhangra resumes for all to see on that website, I think there'd be tons of people who'd stop saying shit like they ran the team x number of years or were captains of a x team for so many years.
End of the day I'm not sure how much can feasibly be accomplished because most of the time, bhangra comp directors are not FROM the circuit. A lot of these competitions are run by people who spend most of their time in the Fusion or Raas circuits, so they just go off the resume and not by...
Saaps- Intro was really cool, dug the concept but I think you can push it a little further. Maybe add some kind of cascade or other kind of effect to it. Cut the mirja in the middle, broke the flow and momentum y'all had. Work on your dancers' posture especially on beitke, two peeps broke the...
nah I mean like where'd it get started. Like Kanye was the first artist I know to pitch up soul vocals and start 'chipmunking' vocals. How'd that end up in the UK Bhangra scene ya know? Like what started it if anyone even knows.
@UK mixers/people who know more about this than I do. Anyone know why pitched up vocals caught on so hard in the UK? Like was there some stand out performance where on team used it and it just caught on? Or was it peeps copying Toronto DJs? idk I'm just so curious why most mixes on y'alls side...
Listen I'll be honest, if we had all year to go to train for one comp, we would probably do better too. We choreographed, made formations, and taught our Big10 set as soon as Mela was over. Essentially did that whole thing in 3 weeks and you could make the argument that was one of the best sets...
In reference to this question. Yeah this would be dope, hopefully whatever The Championship of Bhangra turns into this. Other than Bruin, there really hasn't been a consistent comp that allows higher caliber teams to duke it out, Big10 was dope but it was a one-time thing. Usually whenever some...
-Intro was cool, I know others might appreciate it more but eh just not my kinda thing
- The first 16 beats I'm just seeing messy formations. Green in the back is going down a little late and looks off and then the center people moving into the other formations just aren't moving as a unit...
DJ 1: the punjabi song matched the vibe of the song so well, introduction into the punjabi song with that soft heyk was great, all around solid
DJ 2: as the intro states, super funky vibe was super interesting to listen to, I wish the intro was just a touch slower, I feel like the entire thing...
DJ 1: the buttery jazzy vibe from the beginning combined with the notorious jatt intro is a beaut
DJ 2: got my head banging, seriously good mixing. Lotta good layers had me vibin the entire time
Difficult as hell but gotta give it to DJ 1 for such a unique direction
