Lil' intro to me on le dex ~ some of my fave flavours and artists!!! 
Originally aired on FBi 94.5 <3

'Who is she?'
Aquenta’s sound is a genre-blending mix of syncopated beats, bubbly pop, sugary trap, jagged synths and other surprises thrown in for good measure. The Dominican-Australian always draws on her Afro-Caribbean heritage when crafting her sets, but then spices things up by adding her other favourite flavours. The result has been described perfectly by her bro as akin to a Warhead lolly: sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, intense and not for everyone 🤪😈
Like all her work across creative and legal spaces, she sees her DJing as a form of activism: radical space-making through occupation and sonic curation, aimed at expanding club culture. COME TASTE!!

BTW: This mix features an excerpt of a speech by the late Australian disability activist Stella Young. Very important talk. If you wanna hear the full version, go to: https://www.ted.com/talks/stella_young_i_m_not_your_inspiration_thank_you_very_much?language=en

BUT I'M NOT A RAPPER - FBi Midnight Mix

This mix is a little taste of some of the vibes you can expect at CRIP RAVE THEORY; a club night I run that draws on crip/disabled knowledge to create more intersectionally-accessible rave spaces.
It’s playful, sexy, it’s got both light and shade; it’s disabled, black, brown, queer and more. 
It’s long enough to settle into, but short enough to keep you wanting more!
