episode 34 of summer school radio features a takeover from montreal based dj, G L O W Z I.

@glowzi is a multidisciplinary artist (DJ, music producer, painter, graphic designer) based in Tiohtiá:ke (Montreal), Canada. Greatly influenced by the rich culture of her Haitian roots, the multidisciplinary artist’s rhythmic and contemporary sound predominately includes Afro House, GQOM, Broken Beat, and Haitian Rara. In short, G L O W Z I’s goal is ultimately to make their audience dance and unwind to funky, spicy, and well-seasoned music.

beyond honored to have had G L O W Z I contribute to the summer school radio archive. thank you! <3

G L O O 1 W Z I E S Q U E is (a)live! 

I began weaving and tapping into this first compilation of sonic exercises and explorations approximately two years ago - I am beyond elated to share this with you on this Sunday evening, as snow dances and blinds whoever tries to join her. 

I hope this sonic offering will make your heart sing, and your soul dance, as much (if not more) than mine at the time I created it.
