the whole asian underground thing seemed to go nowhere and never really found its own identity. yeah, it took the same breaks from drum and bass, put a few sa-ray-ga-mas, tabla and sitars and continued in the same vein for year upon year. it just didn't pust it hard and far enough. I had and still has so much potential.
having said that the typical asian thing is more the r'n'b/bhangra fusion. so perhaps this will come with the next thing.
i picked up some bhangra mix cds from india while not entirely my cup of tea, there is no denying it is pure party music and *will* make you do the change the light bulb dance.
looking forward to Dusk and Blackdown, sounds very interesting
