The Story Of... South Asian Electronic Music with Safi Bugel

The Blessed Madonna chats to journalist, DJ and radio host Safi Bugel a.k.a. babyschön, about the South Asian electronic music scene’s history, heritage and future.

South Asian culture has a rich and influential history, birthing and continuing to produce many of the world’s finest examples of music, food, film, fashion and more. As a community however, it seems to have been consistently underrepresented in Western media and culture; the music industry included.

It feels like the South Asian electronic music scene is having a real moment in the UK, with DJ collectives, club nights, festivals and radio shows, all run by people of South Asian heritage, garnering a lot of attention.

The Blessed Madonna is joined by journalist, DJ and radio host Safi Bugel a.k.a. babyschön, to shed some light on the scene’s history, heritage and future.
