Secret Underground featured guest SACH K in this edition of its show on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Secret Underground is a record label and event-management company originating in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a small island in the Indian Ocean and has one of South Asia's largest audiences for Progressive House and underground music.
Secret Underground's management developed a vision of uniting people around the world through music. Founder Pasindu Dilhara began Secret Underground as a Facebook page for sharing electronic-music posts, before it became a Mixcloud podcast and record label supporting DJs in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka's early rave scene brought a new level of attention to electronic music, and the crew sought to give listeners an energetic experience. At the time of publication, Secret Underground promoted events in Sri Lanka while running its podcast in combination with Scientific Sound Asia and others.
The crew planned to build the Secret Underground brand internationally and create connections between artists and music enthusiasts. Its aim was to support the underground electronic-music world through those connections.
