Tama Sumo b2b Lakuti
Lakuti is one of the fundamental people in house music, she keeps pushing the genre’s boundaries both musically and politically, on and offside the dance floor. An experienced music curator and producer, Uzuri artist agency and label head, a sought-after educator on dance music’s history and a critical voice of the scene, Lakuti takes on many roles. A DJ and musician first and foremost, the Panorama Bar resident draws from a deep understanding of house music.
In the course of three decades Lakuti has established herself internationally as a respected and beloved DJ, playing both rising and renowned clubs, festivals and arts events on all continents, as well as hosting countless nights at Berghain / Panorama Bar where she and Tama Sumo launched the events series Bring Down the Walls and Your Love, celebrating guests from the Black and LGBTIQ+ communities both in and outside of the DJ booth. Lakuti’s longstanding career can best be described with versatility and continuity, a never-ending curiosity and profound wisdom, and a deep love for house music and the people that shape and strengthen its foundations.
Lakuti’s performance at Wonderfruit will be alongside Tama Sumo, a DJ who started out in 1993 at Drama bar in Berlin. Drama was one of the few venues at the time playing house music when techno was dominating most of the other clubs and bars. Tama Sumo used to play a lot of New York-style vocal house and quickly became a regular DJ behind the decks at the gay Saturdays at Café Moskau. At the beginning of 1994 she started playing regularly at the legendary Club Globus/Tresor and became a resident DJ for about ten years at the club. She began to integrate different electronic music genres into her house sets, a mixture, she constantly improved on over the years and which still plays a significant role in her current sets. Not satisfied with remaining static as a DJ, Tama Sumo’s sets have developed to cover house, techno, jazz, disco, broken beat, soul, funk and Afro beat.
The two DJs often perform together and the legacy of the paring will be a welcome addition to Forbidden Fruit this year.
