New Album out on ITUNES & CD BABY 

This site contains music I have recorded as a solo artist and with in collaboration with others. I have also posted music by musicians I am closely associated with. My solo albums "Time Takes No Prisoners", "A Distant Different Past" and “The Hourglass Eye” are all available on ITunes, CD Baby and many other online retailers. Punk, Ambient, British Folk, Progressive and Bluegrass are some of the genres that I have investigated. So please draw no hard conclusions from any individual track you may stumble upon...

The mission of this site is to archive and represent different stages of my musical journey dating back to the 70's. Many great lost bands, musicians and recordings are to be found here.  The common thread is my participation in all of this music as collaborator, curator and/or leader...

Over the years, he has honed his craft in The Hague’s club scene, becoming a key figure in the dance community.

Hi and welcome to my world... ! I'm DJ Dakafka; an Amsterdam DJ & Selector (producer) and have been active since 1995. Started of as an ambient DJ, playing at several underground parties, benefits, clubs and venues. My sound soon evolved to a more up-beat tempo playing all kinds of dub influenced dance styles like Zion Train. Check them here on Soundcloud! 

Played at big squats like:The Silo, Vrieshuis Amerika, ADM and Rijkshemelvaart. Starting as a chill out dj in club Trance Buddha, I ended up hosting the saturday evenings in the downstairs arena for a few years.Other clubs I ran my sessions in? Melkweg: Time Machine, Amp Studios, Paradiso & Studio 80: Errorkrew, The Bus. Even played at bigger venues like Digital Overdose, Mystery Land, Future Reggae Ruigoord and Magneet Festival. Had an interesting session last year at the Jah Bar with Zen Rockers and looking forward to spin with them in the near future!

As a DJ I've always been interested in making live radio, mixing and soundscaping too. Back in the days and born out out of my passion for radio I and a firm group of friends and dj's soon launced our own non commercial (pirate) free radiostation in 1990; called Free Style fm 101.5 and shared that frequency with Radio Patapoe wich was also a big non commercial underground pirate radiostation that still excists nowadays, but no longer via airwaves. (you can find them here: http://radiopatapoe.nl) (and the old site info can be found here : http://radiopatapoe.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/links.htm) 

So I've played on several big independent Radiostations here in the city, the biggest one of them was Radio 100. A non commercial & non profit, independent,  free ("pirate") Radiostation wich was broadcasting 24/7 all over Amsterdam and surroundings. Also, there was a very good live stream via the www (24/7).Radio 100 was one of the first in town broadcasting via the web with the best support from DFM rtv Int. You can find some info about Radio 100 and a link to DFM here: http://www.desk.nl/~radio100/
 
As a dj I hosted/presented a few shows, one of them was called "Het Podium"; presented and produced by me and best friend dj Bergman. Besides our program I had my own; Serotonine, on the air for many years, alongside of this I was a regular (in time of absence or holidays) fill-in (for example) programs like Roots & Culture, a show hosted by King Shiloh. 

I am back on a webstation that is called DHC.FM

One love.
