Slow Like Whoa
My very special guest on the show is the truly cosmic Slow Like Whoa, who will be chatting to me about how her self-taught understanding of the science of sound has informed her creation and curation of music and art.
By way of the farthest nebula to the left, Slow Like Whoa is a DJ and emcee who’s landed in Los Angeles, but has traveled sonically around the globe. Her introduction to blending energies began with one on one instruction by universally renowned DJ and Scratch Academy Director, DJ Hapa. Although primarily influenced by the boom bap of hip hop, she emits frequencies that transcend any one genre; merging Dancehall, Psychedelic, Funk and R&B. Whoa explores rhythm and energy between the digital and physical realms by building futuristic soundscapes with high energy vibrations, samples from her favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies and live mash-up’s. Known for her magnetic energy and infectious frequency, she has worked with a wide array of artists - from DaniLeigh to Kelis and companies in a variety of fields such as Champion, DollsKill, UTMOST, i3 Arts Festival, Complexcon, MTV, TheBasement and Lululemon.
