Shuku Sounds

I’m a painter, art teacher, record collector, and DJ from South Africa, now based in the UK. Music has always played a central role in both my creative process and everyday life. I’ve been collecting music in various formats for as long as I can remember, but vinyl has always been my first love.

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of discovering new sounds, so I’m constantly digging. My show will centre around African music from the continent, using it as a launchpad to explore the wider diaspora—tracing connections through different eras and genres.

I’ll be sharing some of my all-time favourites alongside new finds. I also aim to feature on the show fellow DJs, record dealers, music archivist, collectors, and independent record labels that are reissuing out-of-print gems.
