BLACKSTAR - Respiration + Shomari - You're On My Mind

Class struggle moves the world. Capitalism is a terroristic dictatorship of the capitalist against the working class. Capitalism must be destroyed

Dialectix - Class Struggle

Funky uptempo hip-hop instrumental. I combined several electro and funk samples with self played instruments to create this musical landscape. From the EP "Soul Craft" available on all digital platforms.

Radio Control

I recently found out that these 2 have the same bpm

Save the WORLD (toby fox) x Definition (Black Star (Mos def + Talib Kweli))

I was inspired to craft another mixtape similar to what I played at the Rabbit Hole last year. No time limits on this recording as it is purely for the love. It started as a collection of the recent tunes I've been loving but quickly weaved itself into a love letter, a back and forth between the feminine and masculine. Thank you music for conveying emotions I could not find the letters for, (let alone words)...

Do Or Die [90]

HEY Y'ALL THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS.
The fact is that no one alone can save the world. I’ve tried my entire life only to witness pain globally. Is it possible to care too much? Yes. I’ve gotten to that point and lost my mind, but at some point you have to realize you cannot control it. You can only control but so much. My favorite Quote was from one of my favorite shows, The Boondocks. One character asks “What do you do when you’ve done all you can do?" Another character responds with; “You do what you can.” This song is about acceptance. Still trying your best, but accepting that it still may not be enough. Just let it be enough for yourself.

Heyyy, 
I had the honor to support one of my music heroes Kofi Stone, at his sold out show in the max room of the Melkweg in Amsterdam. Great gig and even better concert. Amazing support by Barney Artist and cool surprise by maestro Tom Misch. 

This is a live recording of all parts stitched together. Not your classic hip hop mix with new drops every 30 second, but respecting the full tracks combined with real mixes. Enjoy a heavy UK inspired tracklist with all kinds of beats that are easy on the ears and good for the soul. 

Enjoy!

InnerEarPower is a DJing platform specializing in all things soulful. Throughout my life, I’ve always been passionate about the power of music/vibration, and how it influences us as a human race. The healing power of music has the ability to transmute and transform our energy on a cellular level, for better or for worse. This is why with InnerEarPower, I’ve come into the role of being a sound vibration curator, behind the scenes architect of the “vibe’ & essence of a moment a.k.a “DJ”. The term “DJ” holds much more weight and responsibility than people give it credit for nowadays. In our culture, people have gravitated towards DJs for therapy, healing, celebration, and escape from the troubles they experience in their reality. With that being said, I find it important to create high vibrational experiences through sound, that provides the space for people to become one with themselves via the universal heartbeat…….. rhythm. We all have an “InnerEar” (some more heightened than others) that allows us to hear the voice of divinity, the Universe, “God”, or whatever term you personally resonate with. The InnerEar is also sensitive to tones & vibrations, which control almost everything in this world. The goal/mission of InnerEarPower is to lead the collective back to a space where we cherished the sacredness of music, prior to the frequency (Hz) being lowered for control purposes. The problem AND the solution has always been reflected in the music culturally.

BIO
Joakim Frithjof has been quietly making his mark in the underground scene. Starting out with a love for Hip-Hop, turntablism, and early House, his musical journey took a new turn when he moved to Amsterdam in 2005, where clubs like Club11 and Trouw shaped his evolving sound. Over the years, he’s played across Amsterdam, hosted his own parties in Utrecht, and even made appearances in cities like Copenhagen, Berlin, and Stockholm.

His style? Hard to pin down. He loves mixing things up, drawing from House, breakbeat, UK Garage, floathouse, rave, and classics. Always keeping it fresh but never forgetting the roots. He’s more about making people move than fitting into any one box.

Beyond DJ’ing, he applies his wide-ranging taste in music to curating playlists for brands and physical spaces. As Music Director at Kollekt.fm and with his own venture, Sonic Curations, he helps create custom playlists and music identities that not only fit the aesthetic but also enhance the atmosphere, leaving behind a lasting audio impression.

Fun Fact: The first CD he ever bought at age 12 was The Prodigy’s The Fat of the Land, a purchase that marked the beginning of a lifelong obsession with music.
