Heya TJ, gave this a quick listen and wanted to comment that this was really nicely done.
Was this completely original production? Where did you get the female vocal/melody from? Was it professional recorded? I have to say the vocals were blended well with the mix providing some good resonance...
+1 to Miss Sharma - a creative idea for sure! Love the unique ways that comps announce teams. It's all part of the hype & fun!
G'luck Nishani boys,
~ Basim :)
Congrats to all placing teams, to all the teams that had the opportunity to compete, and to the organizers/staff. From what I'm seeing on fb, it was a very successful competition - Bruin doesn't disappoint!
Can't wait to read some reviews & see some videos. All the best.
~ Basim :)
Unfortunately, there hasn't been anything officially announced by the committee :( Will have to wait for videos to start showing up I suppose.
~ Basim :)
Thanks for the updates Mr. Morgan.
This is going to be intense show. Should be a lot of fun for those in attendance.
Please post placings of the comp tonight if you get a chance bro,
~ Basim :)
Exactly as Sue stated! This was great fun & added some variety. Creative ways to promote your competition such as this are always so fun to experience. It only adds to the hype! Thanks for sharing Bruin Bhangra committee - g'luck to all those involved and to the competing teams this coming...
Now THIS is what having a bhangra family is all about :) Great collabo performance by the JJ boys & UVA squad. Having Iqwak out for your wedding is amazing - can't get any more legit than that!
Karthik, you're fortune to have been part of the scene for a good while and get to know some amazing...
Awesome mix bro. I enjoyed all the little effects you added in. Rap lyrics and beats compliment the dhol so much, it's crazy sometime. Thanks for sharing on BTF.

Solution: Just suspend your dholi above the dancers, then he/she can play as loud as they want! See 7:10 of this video. haha!
On the real though - I agree with nmistry that a dholi's interaction with the audience is crucial. How a dholi is incorporated into a set (whether on a live or music...
Congrats Nishani on the 1st place performance! Can't wait to check you guys out via GTV.
Also a big congrats to the committee and the people "behind the scenes" of organizing this first year mela/competition. Only hope it continues to improve and gets better with time.
I'm sure it must have...
Hi Kman58,
Given that you want to pick up the saaps locally within the tri-state area of Philly, NJ, NY and want to stay on the relatively low side in terms of pricing .. you're limiting your options quite a bit, unless there are teams outs there willing to sell you a set of used saaps for of a...
Hmmmm, you probably can't get quality saaps for less than $20 if you factor in shipping expense.
You can try to PM Harkiran to see if she can quote you on getting a new set of saaps straight from India. If you don't mind a slightly used set, maybe mention that as well & you might be to able to...
Neeli is a great dancer and really stands out. This would have been a cool idea if the judges got to participate for fun like during a mixer game (similar to how random people are grouped together from various teams & asked to come up with something on the spot for a mixer game). I'm with Faizan...
The FUTURE WAY of coming up with formations rather than X's and O's on a napkin :P That was super creative and amazing. Thanks for sharing it on BTF.

Hi Jusi. So I think you may have noticed my comment on Epic's facebook status when he mentioned this article of yours, but I'll give you some feedback here. Overall, I enjoyed the read and your perspective on the NA bhangra music scene as a newcomer/outsider (being from the U.K.).
While you...
Surprise Guest = Oh, I see you Jammu posin' like a bad mofo in those DBI posse shots ;) haha.
By the way, that can't be Nishani in the background because Gursh just said that they are all guys. lol.
Whose farm was this shot at? The background scenery definitely tells me it wasn't like some...
