In charge of the workshops were tutor Aniruddha Das and youthworker John Pandit, also a noted DJ; with one of their students, a 15-year-oldBengali rapper named Deedar Zaman, they soon formed a sound system that theycalled the Asian Dub Foundation. After each adopted an alias -- bassist/tablaplayer Das  became Dr. Das, Pandit  became Pandit G, and Zaman  became Master D-- they gradually evolved into a working band with the 1994 addition of formerHigher Intelligence Agency guitarist Steve Chandra Savale, an innovativeperformer known for tuning his strings to one note like a sitar, turning up thedistortion unit, and playing his instrument with a knife, earning him thenickname "Chandrasonic." Emerging in the midst of considerable anti-Asianviolence throughout Britain, the Foundation's early demos landed them a contractwith Nation Records, and they recorded their debut EP, Conscious, in 1994.Channeling influences ranging from punk to ambient music to Bengali folk songs,Asian Dub Foundation quickly gained a strong fan base not only among clubgoersbut also among the anti-fascist movement, who applauded the group's vocal standagainst racism. After earning a reputation as standout live performers, theFoundation -- who now included dancer Bubble-E and second DJ Sun-J -- wonwidespread acclaim for the 1995 single "Rebel Warrior." Their first full-lengtheffort, Facts and Fictions, followed later that same year, and in 1998 Asian DubFoundation returned with Rafi's Revenge. Community Music appeared in mid-2000,followed later that year by another full-length, R.A.F.I. Subsequent Asian DubFoundation albums have included Enemy of the Enemy (2003) and Tank (2005).
