Kia Ora, Barcelona. Lady Shaka is one of the most singular DJs on the Sónar by Day lineup this year, and not just because of her identity. The Afro-Pasifika femme queen might open a set with a slice of her native Aotearoa - she’s been giving late nineties Maori-house track ‘Kotahitanga (Union)’ by Oceania some serious playback - and then finish with an A$AP Rocky hit, having passed through experimental club cuts and edits. All delivered in a physical, energetic style that incorporates her background as a dancer, choreographer and MC. A Lady Shaka performance represents both her ancestry and her vision of a modern, inclusive Afro-Pasifika diaspora culture. Beyond that, it’s a non-stop party from start to finish, and when the dust settles, there won’t be a dancer standing still
