DJ Afrika Islam - WHBI 1983

Straight outta the Big Apple, Afrika Islam was rappin and break dancing with the Rock Steady Crew at the tender age of 10.  Afrika Islam's DJing career also began in 1977.   Afrika relocated to L.A, in the 80s where he hooked up with Ice - T and co-produced several platinum records, including my fasvorite Ice-T release POWER.......woo woo woo. Afrika also hosted the Zulu Beats radio program on Power 106 FM in the city of the angels.

In the 90s he became involved in the club scene in Europe where he carved out a niche by developing his own crossover sound: with music elements of R&B, Hip Hop, Techno & House.  It was in Germany where he hooked  up with Euro DJ giant Westbam. Afrika and Westbam  created a new kind of global sound. Afrika Islams DJ performance is amazing as he often works with 50 to 60 albums in a two hour performance. His mastery of presenting techno sound a la Hip Hop style is behind his incredible success in many clubs all over Europe. Afrika Islam now recedes three quarters of the year in Germany.
