Diversity is the name of the local music scene so don't be surprised when you're hit with a dose of urban Bhangra music thanks to the hard work of two local boys Surj (real name Sukhjit Gill) and Manjit Singh (M-Ji). Together the duo are known as Goldkartz and tomorrow will see the official launch of their debut album, Loaded, in Kuala Lumpur.
Loaded dares take Bhangra music to new heights as it is a combination of eastern and western influences such as hip hop, R'n'B, House, Trance and Drum'n'Bass. On top of it, the album boasts lyrics in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Tamil and Punjabi, of course. It also features local guest artistes such as MC Syze, Dareyno, K-Town Clan and Natchatra. Most important of all though, Loaded is the first Malaysian produced Bhangra album as all recordings, songwriting, production, mixing and mastering was done in Malaysia. Well done boys!
