British – Indian singer – songwriter Shahin Badar releases single ‘Jaag’

Shahin Badar, triple platinum award winning British Indian Singer/Songwriter,  recently released 4 remixes of her latest single Jaag, produced by renowned EDM producers like DJ Podje from Ireland, DJ Jutlla and Kaya Project both from UK. The remixes are supported by a surreal cutting edge video. 

Jaag'is an edgy and hypnotic song about women empowerment, that revolves around awakening one’s resolve for independence, breaking the shackles of misogyny and appeals to the listeners to move forward without being tied down by age-old customs and norms.  

Shahin Badar's vast portfolio of work includes the legendary Alaap chant from The Prodigy’s banger Smack My Bitch Up. This was followed with 3 U.K. No. 1 albums with The Prodigy and the track,'Get Up, Get Off', further added to her popularity. The multi million selling album, 'Fat of The Land' got her an entry into the Guinness book of records for the fastest selling UK album.

Shahin has collaborated with various world renowned producers across the world covering music genres like EDM, Trance, House, TripHop, Pop, Sufi with the likes of Tim Deluxe, Indian Ropeman, Bobina, Gemini Brothers , Noise Control, Doug Laurent, Kaya Project, Gio Makyo, Jah Wobble, FX, Fraser T Smith, Twista, Juliet Lewis and many more. She has to her credit two super hit albums 'Laila' and 'Destiny'. 

Shahin Badar's vocal contributions feature in over 50 international film and TV soundtracks, like UK Music Hall of Fame, Lara Croft Tomb Raider:2, Charlie's Angels, Scary Movie 2, Closer, US sitcoms North Shore and Kevin Hill, and Sky News broadcasts. She has also sung in Bollywood movies for A.R. Rahman in Zubieda & Yuva, Dhai Akshar Prem Ke to name a few. 

The first two remixes Vocal & Dub are produced by DJ Podje of 4SuMotion fame. DJ Podje earned his reputation with his 10 year residency at the internationally renowned, U2 owned Kitchen Nightclub in Dublin Ireland. He has performed at all major Irish and International Dance festivals too. Since reigniting his music career in 2016, he has had numerous tracks released on various labels around the world (under the guises of Podje & Ping & 4SuMotion). The track is a perfect fusion of Asian and European music and crosses over genres to be a floor filler in House, Tech House or Progressive House sets. The rework flows with purpose from the instant it starts, encapsulating a wealth of driving harmonics peppered throughout, a hypnotic groove and pounding percussion. The track is full of attitude, punchy and driven with a dark slant, yet tasty melodies.  

The third remix is by DJ Juttla, who is a renowned DJ & UK Producer. DJ Juttla has been a driving force in the Asian Electronic music scene for three decades. Founder of the well-respected label Eastern Pressure Recordings, his debut album ‘Angels, Aliens & Assassins’ solidified him in the scene and led to him playing live at Glastonbury Festival and at venues/festivals all over the UK, as well as rocking dance-floors in Africa, Holland, Belgium, Poland, France & Italy. 

The fourth remix is by Kaya Project, founded by Seb Taylor and Natasha Taylor of UK. They have achieved acclaim for their Asian Dub and World Fusion Music, releasing five albums since 2004. They have performed live sets worldwide and produced music for various television programs such as Sleeper Cell, Advertising and a BBC documentary titled "Buddha, Bees and the Giant Hornet Queen". Kaya Project has featured on several Buddha Bar compilation albums. 

Shahin Badar is currently in India to promote her single Jaag with Live shows all over India. 

The song Jaag and Remix versions are available on all leading streaming and digital platforms like Spotify, iTunes, Wynk, Beatport and many more.
