SARAS COMMUNITY DAY, MUMBAI Community Day is a space created for artists, managers, students, and the wider music community to come together to learn, share knowledge, and spend time with one another beyond performances and shows.

From jazz kits to disco-informed club music. @alexander_flood sits at the intersection of jazz improvisation, global rhythm traditions and modern dance culture. Drawing from Indian taal, Afrobeat and wide-ranging world percussion — alongside house, broken beat, UK garage, drum & bass and 808-driven club forms — his music bridges ancient rhythm concepts with contemporary dancefloors. Beginning as a jazz drummer rooted in improvisation, his sound has steadily evolved toward groove-led, structured forms inspired by disco and club thinking, while retaining the flexibility and expression of a live band. Recent work reinterprets 90s and 2000s club language through modern jazz harmony, live drums and collective energy — music designed for movement as much as listening. This isn’t disco as nostalgia, but disco as philosophy: rhythm first, repetition with intent, and music built for shared physical experience.
