MDC.248 Gabrielle Kwarteng

Click here for the interview with Gabrielle Kwarteng melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/gabrielle-kwarteng Time for a dose of much welcome dance floor positivity from the eclectic mind of NYC native, now Berlin based DJ @gabriellekwarteng! Born in Brooklyn and raised in the Bronx, Gabrielle's unique musical appreciations stem from a early diet of Ghanaian highlife and Nigerian Afrobeat cassettes, alongside the American disco, funk and jazz her Ghanaian parents had on heavy rotation at home. These days, through a wonderfully curated monthly residency on Brooklyn's @thelotradio, Gabrielle's distinctive curiosities can be heard ranging from West African disco to Brazilian funk, Middle Eastern electro and house-inspired ‘90s tracks from places like India, Japan, South Africa and South Korea. Here Gabrielle takes us on a 'semi-post quarantine' journey full of dance music nostalgia for the soul, finding solace in uptempo rhythms to spread positive vibes to those in need!
