Nouvel album pour Panjabi MC & Bhangra Niche

Il y a de ça 10 ans, Panjabi MC avait samplé K2000 (Knight Rider) pour la ligne de basse de Mundian To Bach Ke, le morceau qui allait faire découvrir le bhangra à un tout nouveau public. Devenu Beware of The Boys avec Jay-Z, Mundian To Bach Ke reste un anthem dans pas mal de fête, indienne ou non.










10 ans après, sur son nouvel album Indian Timing, Panjabi MC nous refait le coup mais cette fois-ci avec L'Agence Tout Risque (A-Team). Ca vaut ce que ça vaut:

Download Panjabi MC - Panjabi Soldiers (A-Team)

Même si la sortie d'un album de Panjabi MC est toujours très attendu dans la communauté, et que le premier single est entré directement dans les charts, je n'ai pas vraiment aimé cet album. Rien de très innovateur et le meilleur morceau pourrait bien être le plus traditionnel:

Download Panjabi MC - Boliyan

Pour l'innovation, on regarde plus souvent du coté de Punjabi Hit Squad (ou aussi Tigerstyle) qui sont derrières un certain nombre des grosses production bhangra UK. L'une des dernières en date est le nouvel album de Ms Scandalous qui, avec Hard Kaur, tient le marché Bhangra et Desi R'n'B Hip-Hop / UK Garage. Le Hit Squad ont leur émission quotidienne sur la BBC ce qui aide pour pousser des artistes. Et comme de fait, Ms Scandalous se retrouve dans le top BBC Asian Network depuis plusieurs semaines. Si Aag, l'album de Ms Scandalous est vraiment trop sirupeux pour moi, on peut quand même distinguer le début d'une mode qui émerge dans la scène desi en Angleterre, le mix de Bassline, ou Niche, avec de la musique indienne.


Download Ms Scandalous - Kini Soni

Alors pour ceux qui ne s'intéressent pas plus que ça à la musique made in UK, le bassline c'est la nouvelle incarnation du UK Garage; certains ont dit qu'il s'agissait d'une réaction plus féminine au Dubstep. Et le style s'étend du Nord de l'Angleterre au reste de l'île, s'insère dans la communauté indienne et on a vu apparaître les premières soirées Bhangra Niche assez récemment. Le crew derrière les soirées a sortie un triple cd compilation dont voici des extraits. A suivre...

Tigerstyle released Mystics, Martyrs and Maharajas

Tigerstyle's long waited full lenght dropped earlier this month. It's available on digital download on their webstire : www.nachural.co.uk. 17 tracks, pretty much all new material except a couple songs. You may have already heard Sinden's Balle!Shava! remix on the Masala radio show or elsewhere before, but there is way more than 130bpm electro here. It's a pretty diverse range of beats and production instead. Vybz Kartel is definitly a plus for one of the best track of the album. You'll find a track with a spanish mc and a bhangra beat structered as a reggaeton beat. There's a lot of r'n'b/garage female singing on the album that I dislike but I guess that's what's up when you live in the UK and want to do music for clubs. But there's also some serious dancefloor oriented music. Instead of Sinden's remix, I would rather go with that track which should definitly get people's reactions with it's heavy bassy kick drum and happy arrangements.


Download Tigerstyle - Bol!Bol!Bol! (192k)


Also download Tigerstyle's remix of Labh Janjua's Billo Tere Nakreh thanks to Palms Out Sounds. Really good remix! And for those of you who want more cutting edge indian urban music, I would suggest to check out the friction radio show on BBC; always some good stuff. Oh and did I mention bhangra bassline? More bhangra coming up, stay tune.

Genders, Bassline, Grime & Dubstep

I'm always reluctant to dichotomized simplification and quite frankly haven't been to the UK for a long long time, so skepticism is basically what I feel when I read this article: "BASSLINE HOUSE AND THE RETURN OF 'FEMININE PRESSURE'". The biologisation of music tastes (metaphoric or not?) is actually also pretty ridiculous. But on the other hand, from what I see here in Montreal, Dubstep is a mostly male movement, just like the DJ world in general. So what's your call? Bassline House = female VS Grime/Dubstep = Male ?

Edit: Actually, attributing male or female "qualities" to an object is something humans are doing all over the planet all the time. Sex is one of the most classic bipolar classification that human beings are using to put order in the world. And ether or not it's a metaphoric use here, doesn't really change anything. The main idea of this article is based on that very common classification and I'm not sure it actually says anything but the conclusions that are embedded in the use of that dichotomy.
