ITHUBA SESSIONS

DJ Raiko

Our old friend Raiko popped in at the Ithuba Sessions to drop some gems from his vinyl collection …. tune in as he takes us on a Journeythat starts in Alice Coltrane’s Satchidananda and takes us via the dreamscapes of Miles Davis; Breezly Brewin’s buttery Juggernaut flow; DJ Shadow’s existential ruminations about the aesthetics of one’s soul; Madlib’s invasion of the Blue Note Archive and then aptly ending with Mulatu’s Kulunmanqueleshi …

About the ITHUBA SESSIONS

Over two weekends in the month of August 2014, we hosted a pop-up radio show at the Ithuba Arts Gallery as part of the Backspace Residency. On the corner of Juta and Biccard, we were immersed in a hub of sound, collaboration and imagination. Using ICRs Radio antenna, we broadcast (via ICRs 102.2 FM) our own sonic collage to a 1km radius, within Braamfontein, featuring an array of vinyl only DJ sets and live music performances.
