The Indian Electronica Festival was launched in 2006 (aka 'IE06') with two dates; one in Toronto during July and another in London, UK, for the August Bank Holiday weekend.  Both were great successes at bringing together on stage a diverse selection of musicians - all of South Asian heritage from disapora communities around the world.  Musically, we showcased all types of electronic music fused live with South Asian traditional instrumentation, vocals etc... through performances by live musicians and DJs programmed at both festival installments.

Marking 10 years since Talvin Singh's release of 'Anokha: Sounds of the Asian Underground' and the implied birth of an international 'Asian Underground' movement, our festival last year was testament to the fact that there is a growing international movement of producers, DJs, musicians and instrumentalists actively creating scenes around 'indian electronica.'

The London session of IE06 was held in co-operation with the BBC Asian Network; which meant that they recorded all 17 performances on both sound stages for 7 hours and then broadcast the recordings for 7 days during their official 'Indian Electronica Week!'
