from Selectress Iriela ✨

Spinning on DJ Scratch’s Ladies First show felt like a moment looping back .. like the rewind tricks I used to drop during my dancehall sets on WERS FM.

In the nineties, independent radio was the place to discover music. And those winding Beacon Street hallways… the old brownstones breathing history… the night I walked Scratch and Parrish through that maze while still covered in sweat from my Massive Mondays "Rockers" show ~ it all comes back in flashes and beats. Those rooms shaped me, tuned me, set my trajectory in ways I still am discovering.

To be invited into Scratch’s universe many yrs later was an honor and a reminder of how sound remembers everything. Vinyl especially. It keeps memories safe and sacred, the way the craft itself does: producing, selecting, dj as storyteller through grooves and intention.

This carousel is a taste of my many flavors as memories and moments woven together the way life weaves moments into meaning. Right now it's like a lifetime within a lifetime of lives. Being a DJ is like that, there are so many journeys in every set, and the people we are lucky to meet along the way are worlds in of themselves.

At the end I smile because I dropped a track from the same record and Parrish gifted me that night in the 90s - many thanks my brothers in music for the inspiration then and now.

Full circle. Fast forward. Still spinning. ✨

Peace love healing and respect!
