mokeyanju is a dancer, radio broadcaster and DJ/vinyl-selector. She is heavily influenced by Detroit’s Hip Hop legacy, Fújì, Highlife, Ndombolo, House and percussion-based music.
Her broad interest in East African and Caribbean culture led her to collect records from Trinidad & Tobago, Tanzania, Kenya, Congo and beyond - coming across the trajectories of calypso, taarab, benga, soukous, rumba as well as contemporary electronic sounds. mokeyanju's music palette is borderless: ranging from Japanese jazz to Somali disco, leaving the dancers floored by her unique mixes.
As a frequent host of Refuge Worldwide's Breakfast Show, her eclectic taste spans genres including Dilla-inspired hip hop beats, indigenous folk music, alternative ambient soundscapes, jazz-infused afrobeat, soul, and deep house.
mokeyanju has played memorable sets in Jo’burg, Lagos, Accra, Brooklyn/NY, Point Fortin (Trinidad), Mombasa, Nairobi and stints at HÖR, HKW, LOCH (Wuppertal), Whitespace (Lagos), Odonien (Köln), to name a few.
