DJ Cassawarrior is a former adopted musical son of Melbourne now based back in his home of Aotearoa (NZ).
A record collector who has spent many a dusty month digging up rare Afro/Tropical gems in East & West Africa and the Caribbean, with a culturally immersed ‘boots on the ground’ approach. Originally a musician, he has played bass guitar touring with the likes of Ethiopian music greats Mulatu Astatke, Mahmoud Ahmed and Alemayehu Eshete.
Cassawarrior has also been a DJ regular at Glastonbury Festival as well as radio presenter on Melbourne’s very own PBS 106.7 FM.
“Gisborne based record nerd Campbell Ngata, while musically deep in all things funky, does find it hard to get local gigs so begs mates for warm up slots in the other ‘more happening’ areas in NZ.
Part of 95 BFM Sunday Swap Meet Show, u can hear his soul, jazz and disco record selections on the last Sunday of every month…”
