This week on Gems with Shom, we're joined by DJ Pari — global crate-digger, DJ, producer, filmmaker, and radio host.

We dive into his early exposure to acid jazz in Germany, the rise of his Soulpower brand, and incredible stories from working with legends like James Brown and Leroy Hutson. From booking global tours for overlooked artists to producing documentary films that spotlight soul’s heroes, Pari’s deep musical knowledge, jazz expertise, and passion for vinyl make this a fascinating listen.

As always, we’re celebrating hidden gems and giving them their shine.
