This Channel 4 documentary tried to show all sides of the issue— and is well worth a watch— but dramatises it in typical fashion of many British media outlets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68cd264827883b49d373ed93/d48e01e0-5a30-4345-a398-7ed32467b50d/image+%2826%29.jpg Archives - (Dis)Orienting the Underground (Part 2): Dancing with ghosts - Make it stand out Finally discussed below is the fourth ‘phase’ of the continuum, through the example of AltSpaces in Bangalore https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68cd264827883b49d373ed93/4c79f1e2-646a-49b8-ab5a-e9e25f0ef870/image+%2827%29.jpg Archives - (Dis)Orienting the Underground (Part 2): Dancing with ghosts - Make it stand out An accurately recreated meme Shivhari described to me to explain his opinion on my suggestion that music was possibly a way to ‘reclaim heritage’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68cd264827883b49d373ed93/bf16e7aa-b6a2-4ab2-99be-97afe30472b1/Screenshot+2025-11-19+at+11.39.56%E2%80%AFAM.png Archives - (Dis)Orienting the Underground (Part 2): Dancing with ghosts - Make it stand out (above) Vridian's recent release Days of Paradiso which ripped up the dancefloor at AltSpaces was made as a homage to Goa trance that he never got to experience (imagined memories that could-have-been) (source). Shivhari similarly also said the Goa scene is a big inspiration for his vision of community ethos. The irony should not be forgotten that Goa trance was a hybrid product made in an enclave of white culture in India. Despite efforts to gatekeep it from Indian tourists, that enclave declined and has now disappeared after the pandemic. https://www.aftereod.com/archives/disorienting-underground-desi-electronic-continuum-world-pt-1 monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68cd264827883b49d373ed93/d02546f9-8e05-4aa7-ae69-e762bd13a138/image+%2813%29.jpg Archives - (Dis)Orienting the Underground (Part 1): The desi electronic continuum - Make it stand out This is by no means an exhaustive list.

For a moment the spectre is silent, but when it does give its injunction, it sets off a tragic story of justice and revenge. The screenshot-of-a-screenshot above is from what should be a published interview by Homegrown with Asian Dub Foundation in 2021, but instead is probably an accidentally published incomplete draft.
