Musical Duo The first Basement Soul show by Many Hands (Berlin) was broadcast on Friday, October 4th, 2019, from 8 to 10 PM Indochina Time (ICT). You can listen to it on the Mixcloud player below. Scientific Sound Asia serves as the Underground Radio station, promoter and DJ agency for expatriates and locals in South East Asia and beyond.
Many Hands was conceived by Jona J & Kava, two music-obsessed eclectic DJs. Jona Jefferies, who was born in Barcelona and raised in both Spain and the UK, embarked on his DJ career in the vibrant DIY 90's Free Party/Rave scene in the Southwest of the UK.
Subsequently, he relocated to Ibiza, where he was captivated by its Balearic sound and hedonistic vibe, leading to frequent returns. Following his time in Ibiza, Jona settled in Bristol, known as Bass City, where he resided for many years, influenced by its urban ethos and passion for Sound System Culture.
Jona is now located in Berlin's vibrant international music scene, performing at various venues throughout the city. His release ‘Nocturnal’, a collaboration with his long-time friend Lewis Hopkin from Stardelta Mastering under the alias 'Sapience' for Tom Middleton's Sound Of The Cosmos label, has received support and radio airplay from respected figures such as Gilles Peterson, Mala, and Laurent Garnier. While Jona has mainly performed in Europe, he has recently expanded his presence to include performances at several venues in Asia.
Kava, originally from New Zealand, has been residing in Berlin for the past decade. Kava started his DJ career in the vibrant Wellington music scene, where he was regularly immersed in various music genres such as Soul, Bashment, Hip Hop, Disco, House, Techno, and Drum and Bass. During his time in New Zealand, Kava was involved in distributing records nationwide and hosting radio programs on several local stations.
His continuous dedication to music led him to perform as a DJ in various locations, including local raves, basement clubs, national music festivals, RBMA in Sao Paulo, and throughout the Asia-Pacific region. His extensive musical expertise is evident in his unique selection of tracks and skilful mixing, captivating audiences and impressing fans while opening for renowned artists such as Fat Freddys Drop, Dave Clark, and Dj Marky.
Upon relocating to Berlin, Kava co-hosted a monthly radio program named Float Some, Jet Some with Rodi Kirk from Scratch 22 for several years on the now-closed Berlin Community Radio. Additionally, Kava performed as a DJ at various locations throughout the city.
After meeting through a mutual friend outside OYE Records in Berlin, Jona & Kava quickly discovered their shared musical journey and began DJing together. This collaboration eventually gave rise to Many Hands, a diverse dance, defrag, and healing music event held in a Berlin basement.
Jona J & Kava perform a blend of Disco, Soul, Latin, and Afrobeat, incorporating MPCs and Drum Machines. Their music reflects a fusion of cultures, with influences from Jamaicans in New York, West Africans using Synthesizers, and funky Euro-freaks.
Their style can be described as occasionally eccentric and energetic, but consistently aimed at creating an enjoyable experience for the audience. Their radio show features genres and artists from a broad spectrum of styles including Latin Jazz, Afro House, Disco, Frank Harris, Ronnie Laws, Roisin Murphy, Deep House, Nu-Disco, Reggae, Techno, Dub, and Funk.
