DJ Mr. Magic aka Lamine Kandji (Dakar, Senegal)

DJ Pun & Rainer

Akiwawa welcomes Mr. Magic aka Lamine Kandji from Dakar, Senegal

Earlier this year Herr Wempe aka DJ Soulsonic invited us to play an "Afrobeat Special" at his famous Soul Gallen Party Series. Together with Mr. Magic and Soulsonic we played african, caribbean Soul/Funk & Afrobeat Sounds all night long. The 500 dancers at the Palace were definitely having a ball.

Lamine Kandji, a good friend of Soulsonic, commutes between his hometown Dakar and Switzerland, always having a nice pile of dusty records in his luggage.
On August 29th he'll bring some of his awesome stuff out of Senegal, Cabo Verde, Angola and the caribbean islands to the Kaschemme.
If you're into westafrican & caribbean funky edged 70s Sounds... better be there!

DJ Etienne (AL-JAZZeera, AG)

DJ Pun & Rainer

AKIWAWA welcomes DJ Etienne.

Coming all the way from Baden, we’re happy to have our old friend here to play raw, dusty & crackling Soul, Funk, Island & African plates with us.

DJ Etienne is not only known for organizing brilliant partys,
he and his friends of AL-JAZZeera are also running two monthly Radio shows called “Vinylszene & Vinylirium” on Kanal K. Obviously focusing on lesser known music released on the dark matter.
To get an idea, check the link below and make sure to get one of his fantastic & very limited “FUNK SEI DANK!” compilations on TAPE!

On April 18th AKIWAWA welcomes DJ SUSPECT out of Paris!

DJ SUSPECT recently joined the DJ collective “45 LIVE”. It was founded in summer 2014 by Boca 45 & Pete Isaac (Jelly Jazz) over a few pints to celebrate the 45 format and to unite like-minded DJs! No wonder that names like DJ Format, Andy Smith, Ollie Teeba joined the collective amongst others.
Tonight DJ SUSPECT shows what he does best, that be playing mostly (or only?) 45s alongside DJ Pun & Rainer. Expect some Soul, Funk, Jazz, Breakbeats & Afrobeat… always raw & dirty… the way it should be.

His recent Mix of classic French Jazz, Funk, Soul & Pop tunes, made for the legendary New York label "Truth & Soul" underlines his skills, taste & speaks for itself…
