What A Playground 8th of March 2024 @ Ziegrastraße 11

SONKO is a London born, Berlin based DJ. Music engulfed their formative years and the sounds of Reggae and Dub, in particular, were important parts of their upbringing and paved the way for their love of DnB and Jungle. However, there are no genres off limits to this selector, instead SONKO chooses to embrace anything that speaks to the soul. 

SONKO’s long held passion for vinyl took a new turn after attending an intro to vinyl DJ workshop led by @blvsh_collective a couple of years ago. Here SONKO tried her hand at DJing for the first time and was immediately obsessed with using records in this way.

SONKO co-hosts a regular show on @thfradio which explores music through the lens of emotion, and in a show on @refugeworldwide they focus on all things DnB and Jungle.

For this all vinyl mix, SONKO takes us on a journey through the rich and varied realm of house music. Expect groovy basslines and high energy.

Enjoy their set and spread the word 🤎

What a Playground is a platform run by @lenabrecht aiming to feature emerging artists who share her passion for various facets of House music. A space of warm tunes, soft vibes, energetic melodies and new encounters. 

What a Playground aims to create an open and safer space for especially FLINTA* and BIPoC artists, encouraging them to play first sets to an appreciative, curious and diverse crowd. Curating DIY gatherings since summer 2022, the format is not only about creating pleasure and joy, but also about caring for each other. During each gathering we invite everybody to support a trusted organization whose work helps underrepresented people.

Here on SoundCloud sets from our community will be shared. Furthermore, this accounts aims to push the visibility of FLINTA* and BIPoC producers/artists.

What a Playground was co-initiated by @josi_ane who's focussing on different projects since August 2024. Thanks for sharing your energy, time and passion with us.
