\"\"<\/a>British bhangra label Nachural has announced that five of its tracks will appear on a Microsoft racing game for the Xbox 360:<\/p>\n\n

… Nachural has taken bhangra onto another level in announcing the placement of tracks from its catalogue onto [<\/em>Project Gotham Racing 3<\/em><\/a>],<\/em> the game to be launched by Xbox [360]… in the winter of 2005… \n

<\/p>\n

Two tracks by Achanak (‘Teri Muhabbatan<\/a>‘ and the ‘Lak Noo’ remix) and three tracks by Tigerstyle (‘Boliyaan,’ ‘Akh Mastani’ and ‘Maan Doeba Da’)… This is the first time that bhangra tracks… have been placed [in] any interactive game… [Link<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n

Art finally imitates life: First bhangra tracks in a console game?<\/span>Vinod and I used to car-dance to Achanak while jamming from sterile Seattle up to rockin’ Vancouver on the weekends. Personally, I can’t wait to play berserker bhangra while fragging demons<\/strike> asuras in the next version of Doom.<\/em> Bhangra’s raw energy is like Nine Inch Nails’ Doom<\/em> soundtrack, only less sadist. <\/em>Bow to the power of the turbanator!<\/p>\n\n

In other news, Microsoft plans to release an even deadlier version of Halo <\/em>(screenshot<\/a>). It will also one-up Super Mario<\/em> with Super Patel Brothers, <\/em>where players must collect cheap vittles from an Indian food superstore in Jackson Heights.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
