As you’re listening, I hope you also get a sense of sweetness and joy from this music, and feel a connection to this sonic lineage like I do.

Taleih aka Lewa journeys through sounds from their childhood to formative moments on the dance floor. Selections of reggae, dub and ambience that shaped their sense of self.

Sonics to expand spatial imagination. Across the summer, we hear from DJs in the fbi family exploring the theme of Counter Cartographies - a sonic exploration collapsing colonial confines, inspired by the work of liberation geographer Saki Savavi.
