US entertainer, Dj Supreme from Seattle, Washington, is set to rock Dar es Salaam this week. The 3 day event will be held in the company of Tanzania’s own DJ Vasley, DJ Sma and DJ FU. The 3 day events will be held at exclusive but divergent locations and hotels in Dar es Salaam.
Dj Supreme currently has over 50,000 records in his collection. While in Tanzania he will be looking sinto growing his number of records.
“I stopped counting (the records’ numbers) at 50,000 but there’s still so many (records) I don’t have that I need. In fact one of my main mission’s while in mama Africa is to acquire original African records on vinyl," says Dj Supreme.
He adds: "I'm looking for funk, soul, disco, boogie, high life, rock groups like Asiko, Geraldo Pino, Kelenkye, Marijata, Rob, Witch, and William Onyebor vinyl records.They are probably sitting somewhere in someone's house collecting dust. If anyone can help me out with getting records please do so.”
The events are organised by the new event company in Dar es Salaam, Xfinity Entertainment. Dj Supreme’s official 3 day events will be on 30th November (Thursday), 1st December (Friday) and 2nd December (Saturday).
