RA.871 Kikelomo
b'"I\'m usually the first person to label Valentine\'s Day a commercial\\xa0scam," says Kikelomo in the interview below, "however I recently realised that sharing music and connecting with people through sound is one of the ultimate expressions of love for me." When the Berlin-based DJ sent in her mix to RA, she subtitled it "All about love." It\'s nearly two hours of dance music that radiates warmth, positive energy and compassion, expressed through the wide, almost kaleidoscopic genre lens that Kikelomo has made her own. House, jungle, electro, hip-hop, you name it. The mix is even split into two distinct sides, like an old-school cassette mixtape.\\n\\nIn addition to being a great and adventurous DJ, Kikelomo also started @orokoradio, a station based in Accra, that connects the Ghanaian capital\\u2014and other African cities\\u2014with the usual electronic music hotspots, and showcases homegrown talent and sounds through a platform of their own making. It\'s all part of her mission as a DJ to not only share music and love, but also to connect, uplift and create real community, as she also discusses below. It\'s not just a buzzword for Kikelomo, but a mission.\\n\\n@kikelomooo\\n\\nRead more at https://ra.co/podcast/871'
