Indian Electronica is a community website, record label and international music festival showcasing cutting edge south asian influenced electronic music. In this interview, Indian Electronica's Director, Qasim Virjee, explains his vision as well as recaps on the cultural backdrop to modern electronic music grounded in South Asian traditions
A note from the video/interview's producer:
"Qasim Virjee founded Indian Electronica with a passion for music, and a vision to help establish a platform for innovative South-Asian influenced electronic music and artists. The website has been in existence for over 4 years now, and in just two short years, the Indian Electronica Festival has grown from two world cities to five world cities spanning 3 continents. Yet 10 years after Anokha, very little information is available about this music, with its unique blend of East & West, technology &tradition, and the artists who make it.
I produced this mini-feature to help inform those who are new to the music and want to know more. I also wanted to give people an up-close and personal glimpse into the world of Qasim Virjee, a man who is quickly becoming an important cultural catalyst for intelligent South-Asian influenced music and media the on the world stage."
