DJ Soch, together with his new partner Issam Dahmani, brings BKA FM – “Close to the Heart”, a new radio show on LOOSE marking a significant moment in the history of their label. Following deep reflection on identity, values, and future direction, the long-standing Black Angus Records has changed its name to BKA Records – Beats Kickin’ Again. This decision stems from the awareness that the original name, while chosen in good faith, could be misunderstood or perceived as insensitive. The new name reflects a natural evolution, more aligned with what the project stands for today: openness, respect, and a genuine passion for music.
BKA FM will be a series of two-hour podcasts, entirely dedicated to music and free of spoken interruptions, designed to offer a rich and immersive sonic journey. The musical selection will span a wide range of genres and shades, including soul, jazz, nu jazz, broken beat, funk, boogie, hip hop, R&B, downtempo, jungle, ambient, house, techno, and other forms of electronic music. A carefully crafted mosaic that reflects the deep musical culture and passion of the two hosts, blending timeless classics with rare finds and fresh contemporary cuts.
All mixes will be curated and performed by DJ Soch & Issam Dahmani, who will also welcome special guests from both the Italian and international music scenes, aiming to spotlight the most authentic and compelling voices in the underground landscape.
