On this episode of Who’s Gonna Be There?, Blake and Kashif sit down with DJ Afrosheen, one of the hottest DJs of the queer South, and a name you might recognize from Bonnaroo, SXSW, or opening for Jill Scott. The trio talk about Afrosheen’s journey from studying dance to curating the music for queer people to dance to, and Afrosheen’s commitment to ensuring that everyone (especially Black folks) feel safe in queer spaces. What makes a good DJ? What does it mean for ravers to ‘catch the spirit’? Has dance music gone gospel? Afrosheen joins the hosts for the game.
