Pasta invites New York via Lagos DJ & rave man AKANBI for a 2 hour take over of 96 Channels. AKANBI serves us a live recording from an opening DJ set earlier this summer in a cute tavern in upstate New York surrounded by the sweetest friends and nature...nothing but goodness inside!
Special Guest: AKANBI is heading a new generation of dedicated ravers in NYC. Raised in Lagos, Nigeria, with limited access to the internet but a huge thirst for new music, Akanbi moved to NY in 2010 and immersed himself head on into every corner of dance music, as a serious dancer and eventually a DJ and rave activator. He’s cultivated his unique style of DJing that delivers an intentional blend of freak-out boogie music, sensual rollers, whip crack bangers, insistent percussion, afrobeat goodness, deep thumping low frequencies & slow-burning experimental descents. In 2016 he started New York’s GROOVY GROOVY parties, a judgment-free atmosphere for wild dance floors, spiritual, mental & physical rejuvenation, radical politics, and a dose of undeniably rocking talent. Akanbi has made an impression with incendiary sets at Sustain Release, New York’s Nowadays & Public Records, and internationally at the legendary soundsystem function -- Wax Treatment, Griessmuehle, Tresor, Sameheads in Berlin and Drugstore, Belgrade.
Broadcasting from Abuja, 96 Channels features DJ mixes, unreleased exclusives, talks, and interviews hosted by Pasta and guests from around the global club scene.
Pasta is an Abuja based DJ/Producer and promoter of electronic music.
