In this episode I chat with Blessing Dada. Blessing is a student in Youth & Community Development at Technological University Dublin. She is an outspoken, passionate activist on all sorts of social justice issues, especially mental health awareness (with her own lived experiences) among Black and other ethnic minority communities in Ireland.
She is also involved in organisations such as SpunOut and See Change.
I enjoyed our conversation so much. As a young Black Irish/Nigerian woman, her lived experiences are vital to understanding the lack of supports for people of colour here in Ireland in the world of mental health. As a therapist, I learned a lot during our chat about inclusivity and the importance of stepping outside my own privilege.

Its been a while since I hit record and had a jam! Two hours of fun for you to end off an amazing summer. 

Recorded in one take at The Mothership on three Pioneer CDJ 3000 and an A9 mixer. 

That picture is me trying to get a hold of @jondelerious on my banana phone at Bass Coast and get him to the dance floor.

enjoy.

God's An Astronaut

About 30 years ago I released my first mass produced tape I Gotta Be Me. When I say mass produced I mean I sat on my apartment floor for days dubbing tapes one at a time to give away at my gigs.
30 years later I'm older and maybe a bit wiser and I still live by those words as a deejay. 
I gotta be me because I don't know how to be anyone else. Follow your heart musically and it will lead the way. It sure worked for me.

This mix is a tribute to that sentiment. It's filled with breakbeats and bass and 4x4 fun with a big helping of rave because...I gotta be me!

enjoy

I had so much fun I had to rerecord the set and release it into the wild. Done live in one take with no edits so you get the real live feeling. I cant wait to return to Boogie!
