---------------------------

In Aztec mythology, Chalchiuhtlatonal was a god of water. He looks over the sea and protects the animals living in it. It is said that he granted the gift of water to one human in 10,000 years to help look after the sea. 

He was related to Chalchiuhtlicue, goddess of running water and springs, rivers and lakes. She also was the protectress of children and new-borns, fishermen and crops. 

Some of Her many manifestations include: Acuecueyotl, "Woman Who Makes the Waves Swell," the Ocean-Goddess, invoked by women giving birth; Aticpac Calqui Cihuatl, "Woman Who Lives in the Sea;" Atlacamani "Sea Storm;" Ayauhteotl, Goddess of nighttime or early morning mist or fog, Ayopechcatl "She Who Dwells on the Back of the Tortoise," the protector of newborn children; among many others.

Questing w/ Zakia - 300520

This mix pays tribute to the hypnotic and transformational power of bass music in my life. Dancing to bass heavy beats, moving with pleasure and allowing my emotions to flow out of my body became a therapeutic practice as a teenager without access to other forms of mental health support in my life. 

From 2006 - 8, I dived into the emerging dubstep scene in London. Getting deep into the bass in FWD at Plastic People was like going to church- it deepened my communion with my body and the spirituality of the music that has come from the peoples of the African diaspora.

Spending time, and eventually living, in Oakland California from 2012 - 16, also exposed me to trap, leftfield bass, regular dance cyphers and a freelance career as a twerking clown in a performance art troupe. Bass music continues to lead me in beautiful directions and provide a container for me to heal and grow. I hope this mix moves something for you.

This mini mix was commissioned as a response to Metaphors for a Black Future, curated by Martha Adonai Williams. 

Metaphors for a Black Future was hosted by the Scottish BAME writers network and provided an opportunity for African heritage writers to build community, while creating speculative fiction to dream pathways towards equitable and pleasure based futures for Black people.

AfroOankali serves ritual bass: a hypnotic blend of low end frequencies and polyrhythms which celebrates the legacy of sound system culture and the Afro-Caribbean influence in electronic music. 

From 2020 - 2023 AfroOankali was the creative director, booker and resident DJ for Emergent Bass, a Berlin based event series celebrating the Afro Diaspora influence in underground club culture. In recent years, AfroOankali had a radio show on Refuge Worldwide called Bass Incarnate which mixed somatic exercises with music that could allow listeners to meditate on Bass weight. AfroOankali lives in Amsterdam but was raised in London.

In 2021 AfroOankali started a residency with Refuge Worldwide, hosting a show called Bass Incarnate. Bass Incarnate celebrates bass music alongside embodied mindfulness practices. Each show begins with a downtempo embodiment practice, then builds up the polyrhythmic intensity before ending with some downtempo tracks to ground out.
