The home for my Reprezent show, where I play jazz and alternative music from around the world.
Listen live on the first Thursday of every month, 2-4pm
The show is a collaboration with musician Joel Marten, and features my favourite new tunes, a deepdive into the music of a specific genre, place, or culture, an interview with an interesting act, and sometimes a visit to a producer’s studio where we break down some of their songs, and try and make something new!
Each show is available in full on Mixcloud - I send out more in my newsletter (sign-up here!) and you can also get behind the scenes access and regular WhatsApp updates on the show below!
