Pasta Invites DJ, curator, Oroko Radio co-founder & Boiler Room host Kikelomo for a guest mix. "Quite often as a DJ people try to put you in a box in terms of who you are, the styles you play, the energy you bring. I never really understood it - we're such complex beings, why would we subscribe to such narrow notions of what music ultimately makes us feel? This mix is a rejection of those notions, and is a fusion of all my influences: afrobeats, techno, house, breakbeats, rnb, jersey club... you name it, it's probably in there. orishirishi sha" - Kikelomo Broadcasting from Abuja, 96 Channels features DJ mixes, unreleased exclusives, talks, and interviews hosted by Pasta and guests from around the global club scene.
