The DJ duo Many Hands (Berlin/UK) has released their playlist for the Basement Soul show 14, originally aired on Friday, 20th March. You can listen to the recording on the Mixcloud player below. Scientific Sound Asia is an electronic music station, promoter, and DJ agency serving both expatriates and locals across Asia.
Many Hands is the creative project of versatile DJs Jona J and Kava. Jona Jefferies, born in Barcelona and raised between Spain and the UK, began his DJ career in the burgeoning free party and rave scene in southwest England in the early nineties.
After moving to Ibiza, he was captivated by its Balearic sound and hedonistic atmosphere and has returned regularly as both a partygoer and performer. Following Ibiza, Jona settled in Bristol, where he embraced the city’s urban energy and sound system culture.
Jona has since become a familiar name in Berlin’s music scene, performing across a range of venues. Recently, he returned to the UK. His track Nocturnal, a collaboration with Lewis Hopkin of Stardelta Mastering under the name Sapience, was released on Tom Middleton’s Sound Of The Cosmos label, earning airplay from esteemed DJs like Gilles Peterson, Mala, and Laurent Garnier.
Originally from New Zealand, Kava has been based in Berlin for a decade. His DJ journey began in Wellington, where he was influenced by genres such as Soul, Bashment, Hip Hop, Disco, House, Techno, and Drum and Bass. In New Zealand, Kava contributed to the vinyl culture and hosted several radio shows.
After relocating to Berlin, Kava became a resident on Float Some and Jet Some, a monthly radio show co-hosted with Rodi Kirk of Scratch 22 fame on Berlin Community Radio, which has since closed. His time in Berlin allowed him to refine his craft and build his reputation in the music community.
The two DJs met near Berlin’s OYE Records, recognising an immediate musical synergy. This led to the formation of Many Hands, an eclectic dance session held in Berlin’s Basement Soul.
Jona J and Kava’s sets span a broad musical spectrum, blending Disco, Soul, Latin, and Afrobeat with MPCs, drum machines, New York Jamaican influences, and West African rhythms on synthesizers. Their performances are sometimes quirky, sometimes intense, but always geared toward the dancers.
This episode of Many Hands 'Basement Soul' Show 14 celebrates a diverse array of genres, combining the energy of Hip Hop and Afro-Jazz with the laid-back groove of Funk and Downtempo. From Pharaoh Monch's intense "Eht Dnarg Noisulli" and Letta Mbulu's soulful "Down By The River" to the infectious beats of Disco and Synthpop from Pellegrino and Jex Opolis, each track brings unique flavour. Dive deep into rhythmic layers with Techno, Drum & Bass, and Reggae in an unmissable journey through sound!
