As electronic dance music and rave culture washed over America and England in the ’90s, India still moved to a more traditional nightlife beat that included Goa trance and chart-approved hits. Indian nightlife began to change at the turn of the century when small groups of artists and creatives across the country found ways to showcase the music and aesthetics they’d witnessed abroad. In Mumbai, it was the Bhavishyavani Future Soundz collective who helped kickstart the evolution of the city’s club culture.

A multimedia collective composed of amateur DJs, film and design professionals, Bhavishyavani Future Soundz threw their first party on May 13, 1999. Over the years visual themes like traditional Indian weddings or politics would mix with sets of jungle, dub techno and live performances by then-upcoming Indian electronic acts such as MIDIval Punditz. By combining a love of their hometown and culture with graphic design, music and live performance, this disparate group of idealists showed how a strong visual identity could define a scene and injected a sense of fun and possibility into Mumbai nightlife that is still felt to this day.
