Rav P - On the 116
X6 Productions/ Moviebox
Release date: Now
Are you ‘On the 116’?
The awaited debut album from Rav P
Rav P ‘Ravinder Punia’ is producer extraordinaire, who first exploded onto the Underground Music scene during ‘1992’ at the early age of 14. He has worked with many established DJs & Artists including Tina Moore, Rampage, Swerve (Kiss 100), Dream Teem (Radio 1) & All Saints.
A couple of years later, his musical style developed by introducing Asian influences into his Dj sets. This marked the beginnings of Rav P’s journey from Hip Hop to Bhangra.
His album, ‘On the 116’ provides a snap shot which recaptures the nostalgia of the late 80’s & 90’s opening a window back in time to the sounds of desi Bhangra - a musical experience that will surely be enjoyed by all, not stopping at youth.
Rav P has included a special touch ‘On the 116’ by enlisting the vocal talents of Pammi Bai – one of India’s greatest folk singers. This unique collaboration captures the raw essence of Punjab, fusing its traditional sounds with a hint of the UK street vibe.
Bhangra Producer Rav P grew up in West London in an area near Feltham that “had no Asians nearby, we were the only Bhangra Dj’s in the area doing what we do”.
He continued “If I’m going to do a Bhangra Album, I’m going to give you undiluted desi flavas…but the other influences such as the basslines come from the days I was involved in the Reggae Dub & Jah Shaka sounds.”
Check out Rav P – an urban Asian desi sound… Another British Asian goes back to their roots.
In a market flooded with generic urban music, the Rav P sound is credible street Bhangra. Hear it on the radio or in a club near you!
