'11:34' - The Debut Album - Out Now
Gtown Desi finallydeliver their long awaited, debut album, “11:34”.
The album itself is a definitive fusion of Urban and Asian genres drawing on each member’s individual influences. Bhangra, Breakbeat, Bashment and R’n’B all feature strongly as the group aim to filter through Asian influenced music with a touch of Urban throughout the 13 track production. The debut single, ‘Peerh’ was instantly picked up on by the BBC Asian Network (playlist) as well as Radio 1 as the Breakbeat/Bhangra smash caught the attention of DJ’s across all levels.
Friction featured the act as ‘artist of the week’ playing cuts from the album across the week during his BBC Asian Network show. Scotland’s own Vic Galloway also featured ‘Peerh’ during BBC Introducing in Scotland. Zane Lowe then dropped the follow up radio single, ‘Lok Tath’ during his on air battle with Nihal on Radio 1.
