Series notesSwami are UK based Nu Skool DJs, brothers Simon and Diamond Duggal. Since they formed in the late 1980s, they have worked with artistes such as Apache Indian in 1991, Erasure, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Stereo Nation. The duo concentrate on crossing musical boundaries fusing Arabic, Bhangra, Hindi and Qawaali rhythms with new global dance floor beats. Two albums have been released on the Nation Records label, 'Desi Nu Skool Beatz' in September 2000, and more recently, featuring pure Punjabi lyrics and singers,'BhangraDotCom', which was released in October 2002. Simon and Diamond also operate under the name of DJ Swami, which is signed to Envy Records in the UK.
Collection notesThe material from the Nation Records collection consists of various CD covers, press releases, promotional photography, lyrics and flyers from twelve of the bands signed to the record label since 1989.
