The story of successful Edinburgh-based bhangra DJ and record label boss DJ Vips, who died in 2019.

Originally from India, DJ Vips started DJing at Asian weddings in the 90s and progressed to creating the biggest entertainment agency of DJs in Scotland. He produced his own album, Party Time, which he released in 2005 on his own VIP Records label.

Initially supporting local Scottish bhangra talent, the label gained international recognition. It now has a fanbase attracting over one billion streams on YouTube, with releases from bhangra stars such as Diljit Dosanjh, Rahim Paredesi and Tru-Skool.

Friends, family, and musicians recount stories and memories of this much-loved character and pioneer behind regenerating Scotland's bhangra scene.
