Resident Advisor podcast

RA.796 Darryn Jones and Tone B. Nimble

Full-time digger, full-time selector, and a lifelong music head. My influences run deep through the roots of jazz, funk, soul, and disco, but my sets and selections stretch across a wide spectrum. From the smoothest buttery grooves to the heaviest, body-shaking cuts, I’m always chasing the sounds that move both heart and feet.

I’ve got an eclectic ear, always learning, always digging, and always respecting the originals who influenced me — legends like Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, Theo Parrish, Jeff Mills, Underground Resistance, and beyond. This is all about growth, exploration, and carving out a name for myself while staying true to the culture that inspires me.

I'm a selector who prioritizes sound over social media. I focus on selection, flow, and creating meaningful experiences through music — not on building follower counts. While I’m not heavily online, my sets are crafted with intention and a deep respect for the culture. If the music connects with you, that’s what matters most.

Thank You

Vinyl enthusiast and visual artist Kaydonna cherishes his influences. Born in Trinidad & Tobago the artist moved to New Jersey as a teen. Like so many of his era he spent the late 90s and early 2000s eagerly and religiously on the dance floors of NYC clubs The Shelter, Body & Soul and Sullivan Room carefully absorbing everything he heard. As fate would have it, a chance meeting with Natasha Diggs and later with Sleaze+Dot partner Peter Reyes not only lead to cherished friendships but also introduced him to the world of vinyl records, turntables, vinyl only parties, record collecting and deep music appreciation. Today the Newark and Brooklyn based DJ spins only vinyl. His sets move between an eclectic mix of rare funk, disco, jazz and calypso.
