DJ Kel | The Nod: best of 2023 (part 1) | 01-04-24

Best of 2023- Politics of Dancing with DJ ROO
Coming back to WKDU in 2019 was the best thing I was able to choose to do. Sharing music with you each week is a gift that continues to bear such sweet fruit and it’s a privilege that I take very seriously. Not everyone gets to do what I get the honor of doing each week, at this little college radio station here in the basement of the Creese Student Center at Drexel University. While so much has changed in the world around us and in the music industry and how we experience and discover new music ; our little corner of the sky seems so much the same after over 50 years. I am glad to say that I have been around for over half of that time since starting my show in 1995. Many thanks to so many of you who have followed me since those early days and were patient as my mixing skills improved and the track selection found its groove in progressive trance, house and breaks.
I couldn’t have made it happen without the generous DJs and producers who have created tracks that have moved me and dancefloors. It was an honor to go to your shows, watch you move crowds and get emotional as your tracks echoed and throbbed out of speakers stacks 20 feet high or out of studio monitors. Guest sets from djs from all over the world helped Politics to share this special brand of progressive dance with listeners here at home in Philly and those of that tuned in on Soundcloud and weekly on WKDU.ORG and WKDU 91.7Fm. Framewerk, Anthony Pappa, Retroid, Hybrid, Steve Parry, Dave Seaman, Sasha, John Digweed, Tinlicker, Bicep, Staysis, Braxton, Marsh, Ben Boehmer, Rufus Du Sol, Sultan and Shepard, Cassian, Jeremy Olander , Nick Warren, Hernan Catteno and so many more.
Here’s to a year in music that has been the healing and propulsive soundtrack to my 47th year around the sun and my 28th year as a WKDU dj.
With so much love - roo

Based out of Bushwick’s Human Head Recordstore, California’s Shawn Dub and Germany’s Sticky Dojah bring you the „Records Before Rent“ show. Each month they play their latest finds and your all time favorites. Both won’t shy away from themed sets (their post election healing set was a favorite!) and often feature guests from all around the world. All vinyl, all live, all soulful. Both are heavy diggers and seasoned party rockers and love to bring it all together on air. Expect the odd classic as well as tracks and versions you’ve never heard before.
