This week’s mix comes from Balamii resident, Coop Audio affiliate and Free Range founder Donwella. Informed by her time living in South Africa and London, Donwella’s eclectic sonic palette has been blowing us away each and every month on her regular self-titled show on Balamii.
As well as broadcasting, Donwella also selects as part of the Coop Audio collective, a non-profit soundsystem group based between London and Bristol, and also runs Free Range, a monthly party in London featuring some of the best selectors the UK has to offer.
This week, we’re starting the week off just right…this mix does it all:
“Ascending and descending through a spectrum genres, from hip-hop, to neosoul, funk, house, broken beat, garage – with jazz as the thread that flows through it all! Topping and tailing with some beautiful South African Jazz, starting at the 70s and ending at the present day.”
