Dj diaspora started buying records in her home town Chicago, inspired by the underground deep house parties in the early 90s. After moving to the UK, she was blown away by West London’s “broken beat” scene, and knew her mission as a DJ– to share broken beat, and its influences, with the US. While DJing for 8 years in NYC, DJ Diaspora developed her eclectic blend of broken beat with Afrobeat, deep house, Brazilian jazz, jungle/drum n bass, nujazz, and other dance, jazz, and experimental music, with a focus on the African diaspora (which most of broken beat’s UK originators are from).
