NYC AFTERHOURS 2 – IT’S FINALLY HERE!!!

Posted on December 26, 2011 by

After almost 3 years and a delay of 2 days, the CD that myself and many others have been anticipating is finally here! I teamed up with DJ Ambition on this one and my oh my, IT’S INSANE! I’m very proud of this cd for two reasons.
 
1 – Tracklisting, in my opinion, is ON POINT!
2 – We recorded TWO sets LIVE! Yes, LIVE! Minimal editing was done and you can actually hear a few minor errors which is fine by us. We’re all about purity as DJs and we kept it as real as possible. 
 
We hope you enjoy the CD. It’s got two exclusive sets broken down into 45minute sections. 1st track is to help you warm up your night while you’re getting ready or hitting the gym up. 2nd track is to rock out in your car on the way to the club, getting you into the mood to dance your ass off all night long!
 
So without further-adieu, I present to you my latest creation alongside my man, DJ Ambition…
 
THE NEW YORK CITY AFTERHOURS 2: RETURN TO THE AFTERHOURS
 
Let us know how you feel about the CD. Head over to our facebook pages and drop a line!

Wow, amazing rendition of that annoying song…

Posted on December 11, 2011 by

This Kolaveri song that’s gone viral all over the internet has gotten me beyond annoyed. It’s a stupid stupid stupid song with no meaning or purpose. It’s broken english with some random jibberish thrown in.

Young cat out of London named Arjun put together a rendition of this song. I love it because he took something stupid and corny, and added some smooth R&B vibes to it. Talented and creative.

Check out the video, let me know what you think.

Check out Arjun at the following sites:

The Kolaveri craze has reached the UK & USA. Check out the original version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR12Z8f1Dh8

Performed by Arjun
Original song by Dhanush & Anirudh
New arrangement/production by Arjun

1 year ago….

Posted on December 8, 2011 by

Wow…it was exactly 1 year ago that I was interviewed by the beautiful Reshma Shetty for USA Network/NBC at NYC’s Gotham Hall. Since then, I’ve traveled the world, met some beautiful people, started new friendships and achieved the most success in my career yet. I need to thank each and every one of you who took part in one of the most amazing year of my life. 2012 is looking like a round 2 for myself and the rest of my Premier Entertainment family. Big shout out to all the couples that hired me to rock out with them at their receptions. And to all the couples getting hitched in 2012, I can’t wait to flip your reception upside and turn that bad boy into the craziest nightclub.

A big big thanks to all the families of our crew who put up with us walking in at 5-6am (forgive us for missing family events!) And last but without a doubt not the least. Shout out to my entire crew for holding me down and putting 1000% into each and every event. Premier is a team effort and I’m proud to say I have the most talented, hardworking and humble team this industry will ever see.

 

Here’s a few videos to summarize what we did this year. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

A donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation helps provide free mammograms for women in need to promote early breast cancer detection. The donations received from individuals, corporate sponsorships, and breast cancer fundraising activities help fund educational programs that provide answers to breast cancer patients, survivors, and any family member whose life is touched by breast disease.

Here’s how to get involved:
1: Visit http://www.garbainthecity.com/purchase-tickets/

Amazing cover!!

Posted on October 6, 2011 by

I’m all for upcoming South Asian talent. Sam Hasan who was featured on the recent parody of “Give Me Everything Tonight” by Pitbull entitled “Give Me Kati Rol Tonight“, recently recorded a cover of David Guetta & Usher’s new hit single, “Without You.”

To be honest, I like this better than the original song. Adds a sensual, warm sound to the lyrics…

Kudos Sam! Look forward to seeing more from you…

PREMIER SESSIONS – NYC RnB EDITION

Posted on September 18, 2011 by

So it’s been a long time coming, but it’s FINALLY HERE!! After months of being lazy and never getting around to recording this, it’s finally done. Check out my latest mixtape entitled. “PREMIER SESSIONS – NYC R&B Edition.” I love throwing it down ol skool at my events. I wanted to make a cd that encompasses my love for 90s R&B and decided to put this together. I threw in some stuff from the 2000 era as well to mix things up. I recorded the entire mix LIVE to keep the purity of the mix. Nice breath of fresh air from all these computer made sets I’ve been hearing lately…
