"Going back-to-back makes sense. We live together, we really love the same music." The Berlin-based duo discuss their partnership behind the decks—and in life.

Tama Sumo and Lakuti are two of Berlin's best-known house DJs. Partners in life and in music, they've played as solo artists (and together) since the early '90s, and hold residencies at Panorama Bar. Unsurprisingly, they have an unparalleled synthesis behind the decks and in conversation, and on this unique episode of the RA Exchange, they interview each other about their formative experiences in the music industry and the roots of their respective musical practices—for Tama Sumo, the bars and lesbian weekenders in Kreuzberg, and for Lakuti, disused warehouses in Johannesburg.

They also talk about deeper, more intrinsic aspects of their crafts, their relationship, and their identities as marginalised artists navigating Germany's house and techno scene. This interview was recorded live at The Standard in London as part of the series TheirStories, an essential event In London's queer cultural calendar that platforms narratives from the LGBTQIA+ community. Listen to the episode in full.

Philoxenia - Luigi Di Venere - 24 Apr 2024

Dos primas pinchadiscos y muy bailongas que llevan más de diez años en esto de
hacer bailar. La complicidad entre ellas, su curiosidad y amor por la música son
culpables de que no tengan reparos a la hora de mezclar géneros o de moverse
por distintas épocas e innumerables estilos, pero siempre con un hilo conductor y
con la máxima de bailar y de que volváis a casa con la sensación de haber vivido
unagran noche. Sus sets son un vaivén de la electrónica más bailable, con disco,
italo, house o acid como algunos de los ingredientes principales.
Habituales de las salas de Madrid, han pasado recientemente por Press Start en
el Sótano, Squalo Club, Macera Club, dos de las ediciones Tomavistas Extra del
Festival Tomavistas, Elrow Town Madrid, el festival Palencia Sonora o el Low
Festival.
