After a long wait, this album was scheduled for release at the start of the year; RDB finally dropped their album this summer. After years of performing as dj's at gigs, mainly in the north, RDB have concentrated on producing, and have come out with an album that the bhangra industry has been craving for. This album can be summed up in one word - quality. I was impressed from the moment I first glimpsed at the number of tracks on this album. I don't mind paying £10 for an album, as long as it isn't just for 6 tracks (3 of which are normally crap). The RDB album has 12 tracks. Granted there is an intro, outro and interlude, but even if you take these away, you still have 9 tracks.

The intro is something visitors to the RDB website would have heard years ago. It featured on one of their remixes - Hey Jamalo Vs It's Like That.

When you read the name of the song 'Put Sardara De' you probable think, oh no not again remix number 345 of the song but this Put Sardaran De is a huge dance floor smash hit. It's not a just another remix as the song has been resung by Ranjit Mani and given some bhangarage treatment. Then introducing MC Trix, following in the footsteps of his MC partner Metz (The two are collaborating to make an album called 'Danger' which is out soon). Trix does a good job, some people find his voice annoying, but I like it. It's good to hear an original garage beat rather than a beat taken from a UK garage tune.

Patley Patlay introduces a new singer, Surjit Sagar, related to members of the RDB camp. This singer shows promise, and in this he sings over Missy Elliot's Get Ur Freak On beat. This is not the best bhangra song I've heard using this beat, but it's still nice. Good to see some new talent as well, but I feel he needs to do a little bit more work.

Kitee Saree Raat has a type of Hindi feel to it. This is a class tune, the music just superb. RDB showing there can remix more than just bhangra. The tune is a bit repetitive but they still done a great job on it.

Sonay Gabroo features the lethal dholis. The song is quite average. I don't really like the singer. I think the lyrics and beat is good but feel the vocalist lets the track down.

Track 6 is the woofer test, and it does just that. Definitely one for you guys with the subs in your boot!

Ishqian Dhe Mamlai uses a hip hop beat, most will recognize it as the beat from 2Pac's Hit 'em up. This isn't really appropriate as the tune is another one with the hindi feel to it. The MC is good, and has some tight lyrics, so still an above average song.

Mehfil Yaara Dhe is another bhangarage track. Using the beat from the garage version This is How We do It. The vocalist is the legendary Surinder Shinda. Good tune, pity the beat had already been used by DJ Swami on Pure Garage 3. Singh MC (who also features on Sahara's Sonie Ni Sonie) is the MC.

Harjana uses the same type of formula. This time the legenday vocalist is Kuldip Manak. Nice tune, again the MC is good. Not really one for the dance floor, more of a chilled out bhangarage tune.

Shera Vargi is another quality tune - definitely one of my favourite tunes of the year. Herbie Sahara is the vocalist, no doubt in return for the work done by RDB on Access All Areas. The beat used is from Snoop's Lay Low. The lyrics are wicked. All in all a phat tune!!!

Old School Boliyan - well the title speaks for itself. In traditional style, there is a male and a female vocalist. I'm not really a fan of female vocalists but it works on this song.

The outro is something I can relate to, being a dj. After every party, there's always one demanding an extra song. Honestly people, they do turn the electricity off.

Overall, a quality album, I'm not saying every track is wicked and you'll like every song, but trust me you won't find many albums with as many good tunes. I give this album 9/10. This is a debut album remember, what can I say, big respect to RDB.
