DJ ZUKO: Sure; here is a podcast from my website with full tracklist. It has a bit of Afrobeat, broken beat, etc. Just click on the title: "Your Soul Sound Choice"!
*100: How would you describe your sound?
ZUKO: That is a difficult question... This is how a critic described one of my sets:
'To Ipanema and beyond! DJ Zuko's adventurous blend of hip hop, house, broken beat, reggae and nu Jazz jettisons your feet to the dance floor all night long...!'
*100: Where/How do you find the hottest new sounds to add to your collection?
ZUKO: On the road. I try to bring a little of the flavor that I sample while traveling back home.I am constantly digging in the crates... Quite Literally! I wherever I am in... be it Tokyo, Jersey City, London, Amsterdam, or Albany... I post up in the Vinyl Shops. Yessir still Spinning Vinyl too!
*100: There are so many new artists redefining African music, who are your favorites?
ZUKO: Right now Efya is on rotation, She's Ghanaian so it's a no brainer.
Other new artists like Saba Saba and Kesse come to mind. As of late though Joshua Kissi and his Street Etiquette crew have done some amazing work bridging African Diaspora style and music together. I checked out a show and just got floored.
