FRIDAY MIX: halalbutch

An exciting, expansive and experimental mix from halalbutch, including a spoken poem of their own – a treat and a half for your Friday listening.

halalbutch, aka Aaqila or Aisyah Aaqil Sumito, is a DJ, writer and community organiser based mostly on Whadjuk land.

Their habitude operates towards providing tools for collective liberation beyond the tools of the institution; which manifests in different ways from the dinner table to the gallery. Their selections draw movement from experimental broken beats, acid, IDM, jungle, footwork, jersey and old school house.

The essence of their mix Mirage draws inspiration from moments of contemplation and poetry and the communities of queer and trans resistance they inhabit across so-called Australia.
