African Mobilities X The Nest DJs: Everything Is A Seed

Our very own Ziggie, Atiani, Noel and Mars are collaborating with African Mobilities to present the one-off audio event, ‘Everything Is A Seed’! ‘Everything Is A Seed’ is a response to the earlier podcast conversation that Sunny, Njoki and Jim had about borders, the Continent, the Diaspora, the existing tensions therein, and the possibilities for love. The DJs reflected on these thoughts, and present this musical meditation that explores the multi-genre, post-genre work of black music makers and producers, connecting across and beyond the borders that divide us. This event will be the finale for the African Mobilities reflection on Borders. 

This exciting program will feature one mix from a quartet of our DJs, exclusively released on our Mixcloud platform from 12 noon on Friday 9th October 2020 (tomorrow!), starting off with Atiani! We will then feature Noel’s mix at 2pm, and have Mars’ mix take over the airwaves at 4pm, and finish with Ziggie at 6pm, just in time to head into the weekend! 

Catch ‘Everything Is A Seed’ from noon tomorrow on our Mixcloud page, where we also host the ongoing Sweet and Sawa Sessions: there are 40 mixes so far, each with different vibes: everything from meditative to party to loungey, also featuring the final Nest DJ, Ca$hy! See you all there!
