Gone are the days when the only South Asian club nights in town were rogue Bangra events in a restaurant in Wembley or Southall. Times have moved on, and South Asian talent is now at the forefront of London’s music scene. Collectives such as Daytimers and Dialled In — who curated a whole stage at last year’s Glastonbury — have paved the way for showcasing the best South Asian DJs around, whilst other independent collectives focus on shining a light on subcultures within the scene.
From queer-friendly nights to Bollywood disco, there’s something for everyone — and you needn’t worry about there being any dodgy remixes of Jai Ho. So, whether you already dabble and want to enjoy more of it, or are new and need to learn the ropes, below are the best South Asian club nights to check out in London.
