ABOUT PUNJABI REMIX & BHANGRA REMIX
Beat-based UK Punjabi remix songs and bhangra are enjoyed even more than the classical form of bhangra and punjabi folk songs. Classical bhangra has evolved from traditional bhangra to a beat-based music genre with the help of more advanced musical instruments like tumbi, guitar, dhol players and skilled keyboard.
This transformation is mainly due to the contribution of UK punjabi singers to the music of Punjab. Today punjabi folk songs are enjoyed more when mixed with pop, hip-hop and percussions. Punjabi remixes have become famous among and are enjoyed by non-punjabi people also. A major part of the UK is inhabited by Indians, belonging especially to Punjab. Punjabi remix music is famous among the Britishers also. Punjabi bhangra DJs are invited by British families at special occasions and parties for entertainment.
Some of the famous UK Punjabi singers and DJs are:
Shukhshinder Shinda
Jay Sean
Dr. Zeus
Jazzy B
Aman Hayer
Sunil Kalyan
Bohemia
Dj Abhi
Taz
Examples of the fusion of traditional folk beats and South Asian instruments with that of other contemporary music genres include "Bhangramuffin" and “Acid Bhangra”. Bhangramuffin mixes Punjabi and British (UK) cultures. Bhangra muffin mixes traditional Bhangra with Ragga. One famous band from this genre is Apache Indian. On the other hand, Acid Bhangra combines acid music with Bhangra. An interesting result of its popularity was that post-Bhangra gave rise to a new wave of club culture (i.e. Hot 'n Spicy at London's Limelight nightclub and Manchester's Shankeys Soap).
