ODERA

ODERA transmutes across timelines and sonic frequencies employing rhythm as a force for freedom. Dancefloor centred liberation. Black sound, electronic afro-futures and the deep houses of the Atlantic ocean. “ I see sound and sonic space as a room of possibility, a tool to conjure freedoms, in body, in ears, in mind/spirit.. The dance floor is where spirits roam together.. ancestors, future ones too..and thus DJ'ing, to me is a act of reverence and storytelling - an opportunity to be invoke the edges of audible space to pull us in, in our multiplicities & our eccentricities, expansive and boundless under the influence of vibration” - ODERA As an archivist of Afro-diasporic music, literature and art, Odera's sets and cultural practice as the founder of BAKI AJA, embody a rhizomatic exploration of vast cultural influence. They are polyrhythmic Cross-diasporic-pollination, along the waveforms of electronic seas and afro-tecnotonic futures.
