Last week’s @thelotradio sesh was a dive into the magical sound that is Jazz in celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month. The show was inspired by the legends over at the Newark-based, public-funded radio station @wbgojazz (88.3 FM) — Patt Prescott, Gary Walker & Brian Delp. All iconic radio hosts pumping the finest selection of jazz on their daily daytime shows. Most tracks on this mix Shazammed by Akanbi during 14hr shifts delivering pharmaceutical packages in the Bronx. It’s an absolute treat of a mix. Dive in! See link in bio for YouTube and SoundCloud links. Full tracklist available on The Lot Radio. May 22 we return to the booth.

Captain Groovy & Montreal sweetheart zi! serving the finest selections of traditional African music last week. It was an absolute joy diving deep into the spiritual & political voices, drums, guitars and pianos from the motherland. Big highlight was closing out the set with a 20 mins belter from the king Fela. Enjoy the 2hr slab of African magic on @thelotradio via the link in bio. Full tracklist inside. 🌍

March 24 — @hewan.aman guides us on a low-end ritual at the GROOVY PLAYGROUND. “Moving between dub-inflected bass and psychedelic textures, she approaches DJing as ritual—a space where rhythm becomes embodied meditation. The dancefloor is treated as a living organism: breath-like builds, suspended passages, low-end currents pulling bodies into alignment. Beyond the booth, her work explores sound as a tool for consciousness and collective transformation, where inner shifts ripple outward into shared experience.” Hewan Aman makes her US debut with a DJ set that begins in a grounded, meditative state of deep listening and gradually unfolds into a powerful collective dance release. @lightandsounddesign is the portal to Planet Groovy for this play session. RSVP now via link in bio. Clips taken from her ever giving radio show ‘Dub Delights’ on @rinsefrance

Tickets are available via link in bio. Program: 7 PM - Doors 8 PM - Live AV Projection w/ @katerinavitaly + @frikaan_time 9 PM - Low-End Ritual w/ @hewan.aman Poster design — @tontonmukuna

Thank you Bangalore for coming to the Groovy Playground! Big love to all in the space yesterday. Listening, breathing, laughing, and getting back to baby state felt so good for the spirit. Respect to our dearest facilitators @lishasinha @yognikki @kaydiii___ & @frikaan_time for holding it down. Cheers to more groovy playground sessions in India! 🧡🤍💚

We’re back on the @thelotradio w/ a full takeover by the New York based collective & record label @no.stomach “Bringing you the wonders of dreams, divas, and all that is divine. This performance will be a mixture of live, DJ sets, and drag performance - bringing a true variety show back to the container. We’ve carefully curated a list of artists that align with (no)stomach and GROOVY GROOVY’S vibration and sonic scape. In the spirit of Black History Month, each artist will take a moment to honor Black Culture and how it has shaped them as an artist or the music they love.” — 4pm EST 🔒

GROOVY PLAYGROUND INDIA 🇮🇳 Love to land & people of India. GROOVY PLAYGROUND makes its debut in the city of Bangalore this Sunday, March 1st 2026. You’re are invited to come & play. GROOVY PLAYGROUND is an extension of GROOVY GROOVY—a living experiment exploring the fusion of music magic, movement & universal creative wellness tools. The experiment is directly inspired by ancient healing practices from India. So it is an absolute joy to activate the playground in India this weekend. We’ve got an exciting program lineup for Sunday. Doors will open at 4 PM with cosy ambient music rolling softly in the background as we settle in. At 5 PM, Lisha Sinha will guide us through ⁠a breath workshop, The Calm Before the Laugh. For the next 45 minutes, we’ll build tempo (sama vritti + 3-part breath), turn up the heat (kapalbhati), ride the release (shamanic breathing), cool it down (sheetali/shitkari), find centre (anulom vilom), and close with bija mantras. We will observe a brief 15 minutes break before we dive into our next workshop, The Happy Hormone Reset. For the next hour, Nikita H. Solanki will lead us in a playful blend of yoga and laughter. Afterwards, the playground becomes a well for deep listening. Akanbi along with kaydi will fill the space with therapeutic vibrations amplified through read the room’s signature Funktion-One Soundsystem. Sink in or float around. Tickets are available now on SortMyScene—link in bio. An INR 500 cover charge applies at the venue, redeemable against a nutritious meal and drink or anything from the regular menu. Anyone in need of financial support with tickets, reach out to the organizers directly. See you on the playground. www.groovygroovy.club Poster @tontonmukuna

𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐯𝐲 011 — 𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐡𝐲 Our next transmission from the dance picks up where we left off w/ #010 in Paris. @dearmpthy ’s stunning opening set from our collab boogie w/ @temet.music is up now. mpthy says: “I met Akanbi on a dance floor back in my NY days, and had a brief but very memorable time being inspired by the Groovy Groovy community before making my way across the ocean and settling in Paris. And since the early moments of my djing journey, Andrew was always so supportive and encouraging without any barriers to entry, really demonstrating that his life path is to share love and healing to dance floors across the globe in every sound, shape, and form. His energy has manifested itself into Groovy Groovy, a beautiful DIY party and community curated with passion and soul. So being able to help organize the collab event with TEMƎT and bring a taste of GG magic to Paris on a warm summer night was so special to me. And it was even more so an honor to open knowing that I had the freedom to play whatever I desired, because Groovy Groovy is about bringing music magic to the people to feel, release, and connect no matter the genre. Vibe vibe vibe forever <3” Streaming now on our SoundCloud via the link in bio. www.groovygroovy.club 📷 — @kate_sweeney
