Overview"The exciting diasporic sounds of the London Asian urban music scene are a cross-section of the various genres of urban music that include bhangra ""remix,"" R&B and hip hop styles, as well as dubstep and other ""urban"" sample-oriented electronic music. This book brings together a unique analysis of urban underground music cultures in exploring just how members of this ""scene"" take up space in ""super-diverse"" London. It provides a fresh perspective on the creativity of British South Asian youth culture, and makes a significant sociological intervention into this area by bringing the focus back onto urgent issues of ""race"" ethnicity alongside class and gender within youth cultural studies."
