30 Years Ago

The Nachural Group was set up over 30 years ago by entrepreneurs Ninder and Narinder Johal as a record label specialising in dance music.

Nachural Records

Based on this success, Ninder and Narinder the set up Nachural Records – a label specialising in Asian dance music (known to many as Bhangra).

The label spent 15 years recording. licensing and touring artists all over the world. The label finally achieved global success with ‘Munde To Backhe’ with placings all over the globe including 9 no 1’s (Italy, Greece, Austria and Switzerland amongst others), a No.2 in Germany, a No.5 in the UK charts and a no.7 in the US charts. The music was subsequently seen and heard in both Hollywood and Bollywood and various advertisements including for global brands such as Beckitt and Coleman and Sharwoods.

It became one of the biggest tracks in Japanese history and was sold and licensed to every territory with China being the exception.

2004

The label then diversified in 2004 into brand promotion, events, film and video production.
