A website dedicated to the popular Kudos Music DJ, DJ Unkz aka Unkar Singh, has been flooded with heartfelt tributes from friends, family and acquaintances since the news broke of talented DJ’s death this week. According to reports, Unkar died in India at the beginning of this week. It’s understood the DJ had travelled out to India to attend his brother’s wedding which was due to be held in the country this week. It’s believed the nuptials have since been cancelled as the family struggle to come to terms with the untimely passing of Unkar. DJ Unkz was a valued member of the Kudos Music family and a regular performer as part of the Kudos Roadshow collective regularly playing at big club nights and Asian weddings across the UK and further afield. Last year, Unkar remixed bhangra singer Imran Khan’s smash hit single Amplifier. The remixed version of the popular track proved a massive hit with music fans who all scrambled to download the DJ Unkz remix and watch the exclusive video online. Sadly the music maker’s promising career has been cut short following the sad events in India this week. If you were a fan of DJ Unkz, if you knew him personally or professionally and would like to express your sympathy, log onto the website dedicated to the Kudos Music star’s memory.

A MOVING tribute in memory of a popular DJ is being released by his grieving brother on the one year anniversary of his death.

Family and friends of Unkar Singh, better known as DJ Unkz, have come together to pay their respects with a fitting tribute track in aid of the Child Brain Injury Trust.

The single, produced by his older brother Aman, will be released on Wednesday - a year after the 25-year-old died.

The well-respected DJ with Kudos Music, suddenly became ill on Valentine's Day and died the following day on a family trip to India for his brother's wedding.

Aman, 27, of Warrington Drive, Slough, said: "It has been a very difficult year, at times impossible.

"Losing such a young son and brother is very difficult. It's very hard to come to terms with

and move on, but you have to."

He added: "My brother and I were two peas in a pod. You could not say Aman without saying Unkar, some referred to us as Amankari.

"Although he's gone we're still one. Making this track for him was me letting him know that he will never be forgotten."

The track entitled 'DJ Unkz Tribute', features vocals by well-known Punjabi singer Dev Dhillon, who worked with Aman on the lyrics.

Aman said: "It was all from the heart. I told him the emotions I was feeling and he took it down. It was me talking to Unkz."

The music video features appearances from musical contemporaries, friends and family of the former Westgate School student, who was engaged to be married this year.

Website www.djunkz.co.uk, set up in memory of the 'bright light that will shine forever', has attracted hundreds of tributes.

All proceeds made from the track will go to the trust - which provides support for the families of children diagnosed with a brain tumour - a charity chosen by Aman.
