Catch sets from Tone and Sample Chief. Tone is an accomplished DJ and broadcaster with an NTS Radio residency. Her show ‘Diaspora Distins’, previously on Worldwide FM and now Oroko, showcases talent from the African continent and global Black diaspora. She spent three years heading up gal-dem’s music content and has appearances on NTS, Rinse, Balamii, Foundation FM, Radio 1Xtra and more.

Sample Chief is a global platform dedicated to celebrating African music, history, and culture, with a mission to promote music knowledge and discovery. Stories and research are shared across digital channels, while special projects and immersive live moments allow Sample Chief’s community to collectively dive deeper into the world of African music and culture.
