British Asian Sound System
A great documentary by Dazed and Confused, beautifully filmed. Produced by Shimmy Ahmed. Directed by William Williamson.
The documentary explores the use of conventional bhangra music (popular in Punjabi cultures) in the 90’s through to the early 00’s, and how sound system set up around West London and beyond was a way to say “fuck you” to everyone who had ever tried to make a young asian growing up in the 90’s define where they were from. Like with many cultures, the music was the link between many who felt alienated within a society that wanted them to define themselves as something other than British.
An absolute great watch.

The Elektrik Cave Tonight
On the show this evening we’ll be heading over to North America to explore some of the beatmakers and jazz guys over there.
Planning for this show has been harder than previous shows because there is so much.
As it’s J Dilla birthday, we’ll no doubt pay homage to the King of all beatmakers. Also, to celebrate Nas playing at the Roundhouse we’ll also have a couple of tracks from Nas. But aside from that you’ll have to keep up to date by following the twitter and instagram account.
See you at 6.
