For this week’s episode we are joined by one of Kenya’s most prominent DJ and label owners, L.A. Dave. He has been putting Nairobi on the map for over 10 years with a hypnotic mix of minimal house with an occasional Afro House flair. His experiences living in Serbia, London, California and Tanzania exposed him to many different scenes and soundscapes, helping him build a solid foundation in bringing the underground to Kenya. He gives a very raw chat on the state of electronic music in East Africa and shares his insights on what it takes to run a music label. More about L.A. Dave at https://soundcloud.com/ladave.

Key Lessons:

• Respect the environment around you because it will shape you
• It’s not about what you’ve achieved, it’s about what you’ve given back
• Create relevance instead of feeding off a culture of recognition
