Welcome to the final episode of Dancing with DY on Oroko Radio! In this episode, I decided to one-man the mix, an ode to my lone clubbing days. This hour mix is packed with my old & current favourite sounds, sounds that I would move to. My favourite dance move is the Mike 'n' Ike, even though I can barely do it, I still attempt it everytime the tempo is right. Thanks again to Oroko for having me on this 4 month residency!

Thelma Ndebele is a non-binary (they/them) candidate architect whose interest lies in music as an alternative translation of place, as well as an archive of lived space. Their research and observations made during their post-graduate studies have culminated in them regarding music as a metric of place, specifically in clubs and event venues that host (sub)cultures that can be identified by the music produced and consumed by said social groups. When DJing, DORMANTYOUTH gravitates towards electronically-produced bass music, especially sounds that boom from underground scenes in rarely observed (musically) parts of the world. Their alias as DORMANTYOUTH along with their day job as an architect allows them to shape interactions between body and space, providing an eye-opening lens on how greatly sound can affect space and interpersonal interaction.
