TRANSMISSIONS
Curation. Broadcasting. Deep Listening.
Rare Treat's curatorial practice extends beyond the dancefloor. Through radio, live programming and deep listening sets, she creates spaces for Global African sound to be heard with intention: not just felt, but understood.
DEEP LISTENING SERIES
Grounded
A space for stillness. Grounded is a deep listening series that invites audiences to experience Global African sound without the pressure of the dancefloor. Just presence, intention and music that feeds the soul.
Rare Treat's set for Grounded 009 moves through ambient sounds rooted in Black and African artistic traditions. Cosmic in feeling. An invitation to slow down and hear.
Format: Deep listening set
Venue: Shai Space, London
2nd Grounded set coming soon: Black Ambient, Spiritual Soul & Desert Blues
