Dekmantel Mix 509 - Rozaly

Curaçao-born sound curator Rozaly both ignites and unites the dance floor. The sounds he plays are designed to blow open preconceptions about Caribbean music and tap into a more collective sense of memory. The distillation of his musical heritage through a new contemporary lens has made him a favourite at our festivals, which is why he will join us again in Amsterdam and Croatia this summer.

But first, his mix, which he describes as "a dream through the night of the Caribbean" that starts in the evening and takes you through to early morning and touches on niche styles like zess, chutney and soca, to Rabòday, Bouyon and Carnival Ganza. The selection is marbled with his own forthcoming field recordings, demos by friends and never-released tunes from overlooked cultural pillars. "A micro patchwork of the complexity of our identities in sound, aiming to fuel a forever-growing organism of pride. Caribbean pride."
