With Africa on My Sleeve
Good music is important. And a good introduction to good music is key. We feel the DJ plays a pivotal role in that regard.

This is coming a tad bit late, but this is a DJ R-Tistic mix. (I might be introducing all future DJ R-Tistic posts that way 😅). With the first major (commercial) day of 2019 almost in the book, it’s high time we looked ahead on to the next ten months and make the best of...Continue reading
