Outsiders: BACK 2 U (Hosted by Lexis) w/ Raf Reza
Lexis is in Toronto and drops by his talented friend Raf Reza’s studio for another superb session of the Back 2 U show. Tons of discoveries, personal stories, laughs and cries.
What record would you send back in time? What do you like to sing in the shower? A record everyone loves but you hate? What record makes you cry? And many more.
Growing up in Tokyo, living in the UK, and now based in Toronto, Raf’s sound has progressed over the years drawing inspiration from his many different homes. His debut album ‘Ekbar' continues to explore his obsession with all things dubwise, heavily referencing his UK connections as well as introducing Bengali cultural references into his work.
