ITHUBA SESSIONS

DJ Bubbles

Revered vinyl DJ and crate digger DJ Bubbles aka Billy Jackson of Urban Touch Recordings. Born in Mamelodi and coming of age during the golden age of hip hop, Bubbles chose to forego the raps and learn the art of the turntables instead; and for that we are grateful!

About the Ithuba Sessions:
Over two weekends in the month of August 2014, we hosted a pop-up radio show at the Ithuba Arts Gallery as part of the Backspace Residency. On the corner of Juta and Biccard, we were immersed in a hub of sound, collaboration and imagination. Using ICRs Radio antenna, we broadcast (via ICRs 102.2 FM) our own sonic collage to a 1km radius, within Braamfontein, featuring an array of vinyl only DJ sets and live music performances.
