Lulu Le Vay presents her debut podcast, Where Love Lives! This isn’t a podcast dedicated to romantic love, but instead explores life’s pleasures and meaningful connections through conversation with a wide range of creatives, from DJs, singers and musicians through to writers, artists, directors and designers. Some you have heard of, and some that you haven’t. Lulu is a professional DJ, academic, lecturer, journalist and author. Her playful brand as a ‘PhDJ’ combines her worlds of music and academia, as her love of music is just as prolific as her love for education, research and writing.

S1, EP 5 Where Love Lives: Nzinga Soundz

Welcome back to Where Love Lives, with me, Lulu Le Vay.

In this month’s podcast I have had the joy in interviewing my new pals, all female sound system Nzinga Soundz, formed in the 1980s, whom I met last year when I was researching a project on women DJs. Every now and then some people come into your life that take you by surprise, and to be honest, it was a bit of love at first meet. Nzinga Soundz are the legends that are DJ Ade (Lynda Rosenior-Patten) and Junie Rankin (June Reid). And they are one of the UK’s longest running all women sound systems. Their musical repertoire spans reggae, soul, calypso, African, Latin and Jazz (and June has admitted to dropping a bit of Rod Stewart), and over four decades they have played at community events through to supporting reggae giants Burning Spear. As well as being hugely knowledgeable practitioners, they are also active in research and academia – they are at the forefront of discussions about women’s contribution to sound system culture. Do check them out, as they are really fabulous and your lives will feel much richer knowing more about them!
