For this 4 hour mix at Honeycomb HiFi for my Jazz Kissa set, I chose to go a little more upbeat than the previous 2 mixes. You can check them out at my Mixcloud. I’ve even played a Jazzy track by Led Zeppelin in this latest mix!
I’ll be traveling to India in September to hopefully attend the Jazz Weekender in Delhi on the 28-29th of September, and also get to play at the opening parties alongside The 264 Cru.
And we’re back. Grateful to be invited to play my records every last Monday of the month at Honeycomb Hi-Fi in Dubai. It’s a little getaway treat being based now in Riyadh, which coincidentally is my birthplace that I lived in for my first few months on this planet .. so it’s a full circle after 41 years. Anyway, I still get my records shipped to the UAE. This means that many of the records I play at the Jazz Kissa night are actually first-time plays.
Next gig is on the 26th of August. Hope you enjoy the mix!

Heya! It just occurred to me that I should utilize my blog to post my sets and other Radyous related news!
I’ve come a long way and now playing at the first vinyl bar in Dubai, Honeycomb HiFi, every last Monday of the month for their Jazz Kissa night. I bought a looooooong overdue recorder specially for that and took it with me for my first set (that was FIRE) … but I had the wrong cables. pwap pwap pwaaaaaaap. That set was pretty wild as I kept building up and playing some of my bass heaviest Jazz records at the last third of my set to test out their custom-made Devon Ojas sound system. Learned my lesson and got the correct cables to my second gig which happened on the 24th of June. Most of the records that I’ve played have been bought individually from Bandcamp. You can find the setlist below. I chose to go a bit mellow/spiritual on this set as I felt my first set was a bit too much for a “Jazz Kissa” night, although the staff even told me that it was the best Jazz Kissa night they’ve had. Lemme know your thoughts!
