‘‘D-boy never lets me down, from underground street bangers to dance floor anthems, he’s always on point. I can’t wait to drop his productions in my set’’ DJ NIHAL [Radio 1]

Following the success of his last two single releases ‘Nach Ke [Bhangra Bounce]’ featuring Swiss and VDublE and ‘Loveless’ featuring AG Dolla and Sef, D-Boy returns to make it a hat trick! The hot Michael Jackson mash up mix of ‘Nach Ke’ is now available on the next DMC compilation. The groundbreaking British producer is releasing an experimental single ‘Tu Bataja’ featuring one of the best Punjabi singers this country has seen. The collaboration is pure fire!

‘Tu Bataja’ is D-Boy’s take on a Hindi language song penned by a Punjabi artist with R&B production sensibilities and a sprinkling of Ghazal style. D-Boy describes the single and says “Tu Bataja has to beone of the strongest tracks on the album. I began sketching musical ideas for the track and Des-C had great ideas for a story about forgiving a person who has been unfaithful and the pain involvedin the process. I loved the lyrical idea, especially the vocal combination of Hindi, Urdu,and a slight element of Qawal. Playback is all about expression and creatingsomething new, 'Tu Bataja' is exactly that”

The new big budget video for the single features Big Brothers Maysoon Shaladi and is shot with a brand spanking new approach for Asian music videos and is ready to really raise the bar. Expect nothing less than perfection from D-Boy.
