At a smoke-filled warehouse in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, hundreds of young men and women throw their arms in the air, bouncing to British songs from the 1990s.

The party more than 11,000km from British shores is inspired by the Britpop scene at the height of Cool Britannia about 30 years ago, centred on bands like Oasis, rivals Blur and Suede.
