Richard Akingbehin
24 HOUR DUB
The sets of DJ and curator Richard Akingbehin draw from the sonic innovations of Jamaican and UK sound system culture, using the heavy basslines and spatial effects of dub to guide his blend of house and techno. It creates an introspective spirit on the dancefloor, where a rolling groove, warm atmospherics and steady pace lock you in. By day, Akingbehin is the co-founder of radio station Refuge Worldwide, which over the last years has helped shape Berlin’s music and arts scene with its focus on community building and diverse programming. Refuge Worldwide is also a regular partner of Le Guess Who?, co-hosting the COSMOS Foyer during the festival as well as broadcasting many radio mixtapes all year round.
