A clubnight held at The Jam Jar on Saturday 8th June. The event starts at 23:30.
Killer DJ and sought-after selector, Ghana’s Volta 45
Ghanaian-born and London-based, Volta 45 spins a heady mix of jazzy and percussive sounds from Africa, South America, the French Caribbean and beyond.
The driving force behind The Goldenstool Project - an organisation that provides a forum for the promotion and development of Ghanaian arts and culture - Volta 45 is widely respected as a DJ, producer, writer, curator and record collector.
He has independently amassed a staggering collection of over 4000 records from across West Africa: One of the most extensive Afro record collections in London and a testament to his dedication and passion for the region’s music.
He is the founder of East London's infamous ‘Doin Our Own Thing’ nights and has collaborated with various bands and record labels, notably Soundway Records (Konkoma), Kalita Records, Analog Africa, Strut Records, The Kwarmy Band, Balimaya Project, Yaaba Funk, and Fofoula (to name but a few!)
