Basque selectress from Bilbao but born in the UK. After many years of being part of the public at reggae festivals, concerts, and events, I started collecting music in 2022 as a consequence of my connection with music and sound system culture.

I fell in love with the power of reggae and the message in conscious music. I also believe in the healing effects of vibration.

Each session is an opportunity to connect with your feelings or to learn about history. An opportunity to dance and express your emotions. Music is a tool to elevate your soul.

Inspired by sound system legends like Jah Shaka, and supported by many collectives and friends, I’ll make people vibrate with my vinyl selection ranging from roots to UK dub, full of conscious lyrics and energy-filled melodies.
