In this episode, we have the notorious Papa Bo Selektah from Minsk. The first DJ in the world who was convicted under a criminal article for a DJ set, but managed to escape from the Belarusian totalitarian system and continued to lead a cultural and educational movement around the world.

For Sunday's live broadcast of the Radio Plato and THF Radio collaboration show, he prepares the most amazing selection – a smoothie of hallucinogenic ethno-electronica, bass that reverberates in guts, and hypno-punk that explodes into jumps around an apartment.  And on top of this nutritious audio drink, he will throw a couple of highlights for oldtimers and music freaks.

THF feat. Radio Plato - #07 w/ Papa Bo Selektah

The tireless traveler across the audio fields of exotic lands, Papa Bo Selektah, is back from another round-the-world expedition to present his latest discoveries in the new edition of United Colors of Papa Bo. Appreciate how organically root culture can flourish in the technological era with careful handling. It's a pity we don't live by the laws of music.

To escape the grim reality and dive into the audio material, here's a quiz: in the set, you can hear 7 languages. Whoever identifies at least 4 of them will receive a valuable artifact — a necklace from the neck of one of the shouting natives in the set. Dance and remember your roots!

United Colours of Papa Bo - Laced with Sonic Oddities (ep.2, s.2 : 2025)

A serious question from Papa Bo Selektah that echoes louder when you're alone:
Who are you when nobody’s watching?
The one whispering in the dark? Or the one screaming into a pillow?

Here’s your soundtrack to an internal interrogation with no witnesses - special on @radioplato  waves.
Bass with a hint of cardamom, beats like telepathic Morse code, and melodies growing like grass through concrete.
You're technically still here — but let’s be honest, you’re already gone.

This is where emotions dance — the kind that hide in daylight.
This is not background music — this is a portal.
This is where you can be anyone — or finally, just yourself.

🔊 Best enjoyed by:
– those who stare at ceilings with ambient jungle and glitchy folklore in their ears
– travelers heading somewhere they might not come back from the same
– and anyone brave enough to be honest, at least in headphones

No soft vibes.
Just you, the sound, and your reflection in a dead screen.

United Colors of Papa Bo - Who Are You When Nobody's Watching? (ep.3, s.2 : 2025)

“Message from Your Future Self” — a live shamanic mix recorded in a circle of resonant souls at the Freedom camp.
This isn’t just music — it’s a portal we opened together.

We made a pact to remember.
We made a pact to meet on the New Earth.
This mix is a letter from you to yourself:

“You made it.
It all worked out.
You’re home now.”

Here you’ll hear real voices.
Here you’ll feel the body praying through movement.
Here the sound guides you —
through fear, doubt, and old patterns —
gently opening the door to where you’re already free.

🎧 Listen with your heart.
You’re already where you’re meant to be.

Message From Your Future Self Freedom Camp Mix

Audio-shaman Papa Bo Selektah is back at it:blending ritual rhythms, basslines from the underworld, and twisted grooves from Yatha Bhuta Jazz Combo.

The new United Colors of Papa Bo is a full-on firmware update for your central nervous system —somewhere between a Kashmiri prayer and deep Berber whispering.It hits gently, holds tightly, and doesn’t let go anytime soon.

No promises — except transcendental booty twitching.
🌀 Papa spins. You slip in. The gods approve.

Papa Bo Selektah is a trendy Minsk selector with extensive GIG geography (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Ukraine, USA, India, Sri Lanka) and unconditional musical taste. His multi-genre musical erudition allows him to shake up the dance floor in any circumstances - from hypnotic chill-rave to mathematical techno with sounds of symphony orchestra, from subtle jazz-hop to shaking ethno-bass, from mesmerizing folktronics to powerful organic house and melodic tech. For his listeners, Papa Bo always prepares very atypical selection, a lot of intelligent sounding and fat groove part.

Papa Bo Selektah (Alexander Bogdanov) is also known as the organizer of the largest club events and festivals in Belarus, the producer of famous Belarusian musical groups, the creator and permanent head of the BOpromo concert agency, co-founder and art director of the Minsk cultural center Korpus.
