TAKIMBA
Since 1999, Takimba has been behind the decks. Having seen the Grateful Dead since 1989 their major influence on Takimba‘s music is evident. His mixing style, song blending, and the incorporation of live musicians in his sets all reflect this inspiration. For over a decade, Takimba has been re-mixing the music of the Grateful Dead and reimagining songs from newer jam bands as well as other classic rock legends. With his project, Takimba and friends he merges the worlds of DJs and Jam Bands, adding subsonic frequencies to classic cuts with a live improvisational element that ensures every performance is familiar yet fresh and unlike any other.
