The South Asians owning the dancefloor
With South Asian artists taking over dancefloors and festivals around the world, DJ Kizzi and Dialled In’s Dhruva Balram explore how representation is changing.
From Glastonbury to Coachella, it feels like more South Asian artists are taking up spaces on dancefloors and festival stages around the world. And with the rise of Indo House and new collectives focused on South Asian partygoers, we’re seeing a new side to the South Asian party scene.
Amber Haque is joined BBC Asian Network presenter, DJ Kizzi, who runs Kizzi & Friends, and Dhruva Balram, from Dialled In festival. They talk about their own journeys into music, the apparent growth of South Asian-led parties, and what it means for true representation.
