Whether collaborating with traditional Indian musicians or flipping Bollywood cuts, Shantanu Gursal aka kSaya's musical home is the frantic rhythm of the breakbeat – as he works as an Asian Underground revivalist over the past 2 years. It is no surprise then that the Mumbai act's Wild City mix comes replete with a near-constant underpinning of the iconic beat and its variations. The selections remain far from the heavy onslaught of breakbeats' pacier sub-genres, instead embracing the pristine atmosphere of styles like slow garage and the more modern anthemic dance music takes by the likes of Bicep. The ethereal atmosphere remains the true defining feature of the mix as it opens up rhythmically with selections like Terry Da Libra's 'U' and 'Early Hours' by Fløa & Furcloud before plunging back into the grooves that kicked things off – this time emerging out of the focus on reverberating pads to lead with the emotionally direct vocals on a mix of 'My Stripes' by Marsh.

*DJ and broadcaster BOBBY FRICTION drops by the Bureau to tell the tale of how, in the early 90s, a bunch of British kids from immigrant families ripped it up, mixing their traditional musical roots with drum and bass, electronic beats and urban sounds to form a new countercultural genre all their own - the Asian Underground.   *We hear how the scene was a kind of counterpart to the way Western counterculture adapted and was inspired by Eastern mysticism and culture.   *It's a rollicking personal tale by Bobby who was there at the beginning and who has been championing the scene ever since, soundtracked by some choice musical cuts.   We dig deep into all sorts of other stuff too: growing up in 70s London, racism on the city streets, Bhangra, 'ghazals', ABBA, Prince,  daytime gigs, Sikh culture. radical politics, why 'Black' was cool but 'Asian' was apparently not in London club culture.   *And Bobby makes a plea for the British to realise the vision of becoming one people celebrating their diversity rather than splitting back into tribes.   *For more on Bobby: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rydpz *For London Month of the Dead: https://www.londonmonthofthedead.com *For Continental Drifts: https://www.continentalDrifts.co.uk *The Bureau of Lost Culture: https://www.bureauoflostculture.com

The 80s was the era of day time raving for thousands of British South Asian Kids from cities across the UK from Bradford to Birmingham, Manchester to London. People called them Daytimers. They were kids skipping school to go clubbing in the daytime to avoid the rules imposed on them about going out at night. Forty years later, Daytimers UK is back as a collective of British Asian DJs. Anita Rani speaks to DJ RITU, one of the pioneers of the Asian Underground music scene in the 1980s, to DJ Priya and also to Gracie T from Daytimers UK collective. We talk to Annie Gibbs who's organising a vigil for Sabina Nessa, the 28 year old who was murdered in a south-east London park last week. Many children find themselves unable to attend school due to severe anxiety, often the result of mental health issues or unmet special educational needs. However, unless parents can provide medical evidence of mental health issues, some schools mark this down as an "unauthorised absence" leaving parents open to prosecution. We discuss with Ellie Costello, Director of Square Peg; Dr Mary Bousted, Joint General-Secretary of the National Education Union; and Colette, a parent.

从上世纪90年代开始进入网络时代，不过那时候还是用拨号上网，一批生活在英国的亚裔音乐家，他们来自印度、巴基斯坦和斯里兰卡，将传统的印度和南亚音乐结合电子音乐，这被人们称为Asian Underground浪潮 这是一个有趣的现象：东方人不惜代价追求西方的摩登文明，而部分西方人，却义无反顾地融入东方文化。在Varanasi旧市中心的窄巷里，可见那些衣着与印度人无异的西方人。在旅馆的餐厅里，几个看来己在印度居留了好一段日子的西人，如何兴致勃勃地谈论练习印度sitar的心得。不要忘记，Varanasi不单是印度教圣地，同时也是sitar巨匠Ravi Shankar的居所，古典印度音乐之都。这里有无数小型印度音乐学院，几乎每晚都有由这些学院所设的免费小型音乐会。当然，离这里十数小时火车铁路的新德里是一个截然不同的世界。 己移居英伦不知是第几代的印裔青年，联群挖掘印度音乐的宝库，寻找自己的根、自己的声音。他们没有白人的流行音乐，没有黑人的hip hop。他们曾经有过bhangra，但那己是言过气的东西。这个煣合摩登舞曲节拍与远古音乐传统的所谓Asian uderground，是印裔青年面对身分危机的决策，也是一个备受忽略小数族裔向主流社会的不满宣泄，以及对Apac he Indian所一手造成的印度人sereotype的反击。由Asian Dub Foundation成员任教的音乐工作室，正是这样的互助公社。虽然对于英国人而言，Asian Underground只是一种时髦的潮流玩意。 歌单： Dance Music Federation - Cybersitar Earthtrib - Sitar Funk Talvin Singh - Butterfly Badmarsh - Jungle Sitars

在上世纪九十年代，在英国出生的第二、三代南亚移民他们将印度音乐将西方的电子音乐融合，形成了Asian Underground运动。如果说Ravi Shankar和Beatles乐队在60年代将印度音乐首次带向英国，使得印度音乐与摇滚乐结合，那么这些南亚移民的电子音乐人在九十年代所做的，便是在英国再一次使东方音乐和西方音乐产生碰撞，掀起了第二次印度音乐的复兴运动。 echo小编语： 印度音乐中的打击乐跳跃并有节奏感，弦乐部分又十分具有神秘气息，当这两者与电子音乐结合时，将会产生奇妙的化学反应。本期小编为大家推荐这位名为Talvin Singh的印度后裔，同样也是这场Asian Underground运动中较为重要的一位音乐人。他在英国长大，自幼学习印度传统乐器，他将Drum&Bass、Trip Hop等电子元素与印度音乐相结合。 本期歌单： Joi - Everybody Say Yeah Asian Dub Foundation - R.A.F.I.
