APEX Express – Defiantly Yours Music Mix


Listen Later

Tonight, we have guest host Zuha Khan, or DJ Baqvas, who will be spinning music that is Defiantly Yours: Radical Music from the Asian Diaspora in the Era of Trump. Regardless of the offensive statements that come out of his mouth, People of Color will not be silent. The defiant music you hear tonight will underscore this very thought.

DJ Baqvas is no stranger to APEX Express. She produced a fundraiser for Bay Area Solidarity Summer at El Rio last year, which we featured on our 2017 Bay Area May Day show. DJ Baqvas is a member of the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action and helps out with its projects like Bay Area Solidarity Summer, a political action camp for South Asian youth. She’s been a DJ for 7 years, starting at UC Davis’s college radio station KDVS and continues at San Francisco’s BFF.fm. Her show, Fractal Chambers, is on every other Saturday at 10 a.m.

Zuha finds tracks produced by subversive artists, from right here at home to countries most wouldn’t think to look to. And we’re excited to hear her selections tonight.

You can follow her on Twitter @Zuha_Wave.
