    Traditional dholi/dholi activities in North America?

    Good to see you back on BTF Gibb. Unfortunately, I don't know about Ustaads in the Toronto/NY area, but if you venture to the Vancouver area (specifically Surrey), there is Ustad Devinder Singh Hundal who taught Raju Johal (an established dholi/singer/dancer that was most prominent in the...

    Week 6 Matchup 2: DJ MOMO vs. paaji

    Another classic song - love it! DJ 1 - enjoyed the harmony/melody brought by the sample that you used at the beginning. Loved the build up and the drop that you added starting from 0:51ish. Nicely EQed mix. Only things that could have made a bit better would be a change of pace and a better...

    Week 6 Matchup 5: DJ Monga vs. Sahota Productions

    I will echo what others had mentioned it: DJ 1 sounded like a typical mix and was definitely clean, while DJ 2 took a bit more of a risk. DJ 2: I honestly didn't like that your bass line overpowered the vocals so much (please EQ for future challenges!). My fav part was the change of tempo after...

    Week 6 Matchup 3: DJ ManDown vs. Mogul

    This is a sick song to start with! I felt DJ 2's effects were off-key at times and weren't mixed in as cleanly. I liked the risk you too though, so props on trying to create a new, unique sound. My vote: DJ 1 - awesome mix. Really loved what you did with the original song, especially with...

    Week 5 Matchup 2: DoubleA vs. Ja$han-a-Ja$han

    Love this song. RIP to one of the greatest, Surjit Bindrakhia. Often imitated but never replicated! DJ 1 - Nice transitions that gave the mix a really solid feel. I loved how pronounced you made the vocals feel - really gave tribute to Bindrakhia's unique sound. What you mixed in from 0:43-0:55...

    Week 5 Matchup 7: DJ ManDown vs. Ns_moose

    DJ 1 - cool concept. The deep bass was awesome, but using it throughout the mix gave it a monotone feeling, so I wish it was use more sparingly. I liked the use of the "ah ha" from the original song from 0:42 onward and that build up at 0:52-0:55 was nicely done. Nice job with the smooth/clean...

    Week 5 Matchup 6: DJ MOMO vs. Suave Sahib

    DJ 1 has a dope mix for sure. Loved the separation among the low, mids, and highs.. great job on EQing. I wish after the drop at 0:43, you slowed down the song to give some more variety and provide a change of pace. I feel this song has the potential to sound amazing slowed down and it would...

    Mixing Ladder Week 4: Other Mixes

    This is a hot song. Great selection mods! Great job on the mix paaji - a few things: I wish the vocals could be more pronounced; you can easily notice how the listener is drawn to that in the original song. I also feel your mix could use more EQing because a lot of mix seems to centered in the...

    Week 3 Matchup 2: DJ MOMO vs. Amundeep | Theme: Hip-Hop/Pop

    Both DJ's provided something unique; they would be worthy contenders against just about any other DJ's competing in the ladder. I liked the funky sound of DJ 2, but felt it flowed too fast; it would have been great if the DJ shifted the bpm's throughout the mix to give some variety. My vote: DJ...

    Week 3 Matchup 1: Ja$han-a-Ja$han vs. RSD | Theme: Hip-Hop/Pop

    DJ 1: Build up was a little slow and bit too quiet for my standards; I think you could have improved it by using a fade in effect with increasing volume levels gradually, rather than just suddenly at 0:10. I absolutely loved the use of pianos at 0:18 and how you incorporate them throughout your...

    Week 3 Matchup 4: Ns_moose vs. DJ Chet | Theme: Hip-Hop/Pop

    My vote: DJ 1 That was very nicely done. Nice layering used throughout the mix. The song sounds even better with a bit higher BPM that you used. Great incorporation of the song while making your mix sound unique. ~ Basim :)
