Anokha – Soundz of the Asian Underground is a compilation album.
The Album was born out of the Music club night Anokha, set up by its host Talvin Singh and Sweety Kapoor, with Music Producer/DJ State of Bengal a.k.a. Zam Zaman at its helm. Anokha held weekly sessions at the legendary Blue Note venue at Londons East End in Hoxton Square. The Music sessions and Compilation were key players for the rise of the Asian Underground movement.
The compilation was signed via Anokha's imprint label Omni Records to Island Records. Leading to major label deals for Talvin Singh, State of Bengal and Amar.
