First Light: Rohan Rakhit

Weekly show

Join Rohan Rakhit – London-based DJ, actor and co-organiser of South Asian underground collective Daytimers – for a brand new weekly show on Tuesday mornings.

Each week Rohan draws on the eclecticism of the soulful and percussive sound that encapsulates his home city London. From artist, promoter, and label deep dives to interviews with those pushing culture in their local music scenes.
