"A system that's equal doesn't benefit the people that have the power." The Rhythm Section International founder talks about creating opportunities for Black artists and entrepreneurs, Caribbean conviviality and his abiding love for Peckham.

Bradley Zero, the DJ and founder of the label Rhythm Section International, is known for his commitment to his community. Zero grew up in a rich Caribbean culture in Leeds, where he and his family gathered in friends' living rooms to listen to music and eat home-cooked food. In opening Jumbi—the bar and listening space in London's Southeast neighborhood, Peckham—Zero has attempted to recreate this lively Caribbean conviviality. The venue is filled with his own personal record collection and one turntable. His style (as reflected in his imprint) celebrates house, soul, disco, funk and various shades of music from the afro-Caribbean diaspora.

In this RA Exchange, he talks about how the neighborhood has changed in the time he's been based there, how and when his career exploded from local pool hall gigs to an active global touring schedule and why he decided to study for an MBA. October is British Black History Month in the UK, and in this interview, Zero also discusses ways that he hopes to empower the Black British community to start their own businesses and assert power from the top echelons of the music industry. Rhythm Section International has started a touring series of free masterclasses called Future Proof, in which Zero and his team invite guests to teach hard skills on business and label management, how to cultivate a brand and much more. Listen to the episode in full.

EP: 207 -  Let’s Test Your Chin!? 🧏🏾‍♂️

A lotta lotta fun at No Persona's 2nd birthday bash at south London's finest most sweatiest basement, Four Quarters. I feel like this set was the most "me" of any set I've played so far. Starting off with some pumping house, I went a bit deeper, darker and bassier with a sprinkle of nostalgia and latin flavours. This is a re-record with an extra couple tunes at the end - a few people on the dancefloor said they didn't want the 45-minute set to end, so here ya go! 

Tracks by L.P. Rhythm, Power in the Groove, GIDEON, Parallel Sound, Amaliah, BELLA and more.

Killa Ki - Zone Out

Live recording of my first ever peak time set ❤️‍🔥! The brief I gave myself was: Baby Adonis 🥵. Expect sexy house, piano house, 90s trance, trance-infused grooves, a lot of euphoria, including a Missy Elliot edit that went off and a Kelis original (perfect as it is imho) that filled the dancefloor with nostalgia ✨💫. Plus some live vocal sampling of one of the most iconic moments in 90s film. Listen if you need to get in the mood for the weekend and have a sweat 💋🫦💦.

The set was at the launch night of Pherotone, a new female-led party all about connection on the dancefloor, by me and one of my best mates. 

Tracks by Aerobica, Sally C & Eliza Rose, Klubbheads, Kelis, Cameo Blush, Kyle Starkey, Triximo, Will Silver and more.

Big love xoxo
