DJ BIO's:

ABIJAH

Ntokozo "Abijah" Khuzwayo is a dynamic record collector, music researcher, curator, and entrepreneur. "The Bishop", as Abijah is affectionately known to his followers and music enthusiasts, has a reputation for introducing his audience to new songs and sounds. Proprietor of the lauded ‘Abijah’s Record Bar’, although his sets are heavily jazz-influenced his music knowledge is broad and extensive and his DJ sets represent this. We look forward to a musically diverse set for Listen In, with carefully selected and arranged pieces of hard jazz, soft jazz, free jazz, avant-garde, funk disco, indigenous music and sounds, and Afrobeat. 

CHARLES LEONARD

Charles Leonard is a DJ, journalist, podcaster, music collector and archivist. DJing since 2001 at venues like Kitchener’s, Keleketla Library, Roots Café, Roving Bantu Kitchen and currently holding down a monthly residency at Breezeblock, his sets span a genre fluid selection of jazz, soul, funk, reggae, rock, dub, afrobeat and beyond. We can’t wait to hear what he has up his (record) sleeves for this very special evening of listening.

LADY DAY

Food researcher, music selector & social entrepreneur Langelihle "Lady Day" Mthembu brings a versatile ear for amazing music and unmatched exclusive cuts. Her music curation mirrors her approach to gastronomy - people centred, intimate, experimental and soulful. Needless to say we are very excited for her to have her whet our appetites with her eclectic taste.

ROSIE PARADE

Rosie Parade is a club culture enthusiast, sound system geek and freak for a fresh frequency. The Braamfontein Medusa has built their rep from the dive bars of Johoneysburg that birthed their fishy palette to festival stages across ZA and yet more dive bars from Brooklyn to Berlin. For Listen In, Rosie is delighted to indulge in some super soft and trippy sounds, hella cellos and a whole bunch of birdie sounds.

PLAAT JAPIE

Plaat Japie’s socials suck ‘cause they far too busy digging for more beautiful sounds - even though they have enough to play a residency the rest of their life without having to repeat a single track. The head and hair behind your introduction to a million new favourite tracks, they are a Counter Culture survivor who still firmly believes in the power and magic of doing the opposite of popular trends and white washed algorithm gatekeeping. Tastemakers got replaced by influencers, but Plaat Japie is still a happily growing force with ever evolving taste. For Listen In, they’ll just keep doing what they doing and we wouldn’t want to have it any other way.
