A Glimpse of Africa & the Diaspora with Esa Williams

Copyright restrictions pose a challenge for our channel. YouTube automatically monetizes the songs in this mix, directing ad revenue to copyright owners. This means we can’t control the ads or their frequency. As a result, 99.9% of MAJ’s yearly viewership generates no income for us due to copyrighted music. MAJ’s mission is to share high-quality vinyl-only mixes. To continue, we need support to maintain our studio and cover expenses.

Inspired by his Cape Town roots and global influences, he continues to expand the sound of modern electronic music through his boundary-pushing productions and captivating performances. “This mix feels deeply personal, a reflection of my Creole roots and my desire to connect Africa and its diaspora through music. Every track tells its own story, drawn from different corners of the continent and its global communities. These sounds have shaped the vision behind my forthcoming LP. I approached the mix with open ears and an open heart, letting each rhythm guide me toward new places and ideas. It’s a snapshot of where I am, and where the music is taking me next.” ------------ Cameras: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ Mixer by Resør Electronics: Resør 2533FX https://resorelectronics.com/ Turntables: Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 https://www.pioneerdj.com/en-gb/product/player/plx-1000/black/overview/ Stylus & Cartridges by Ortofon UK: Ortofon 2M Blue & Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Club DJ https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/brands/ortofon/ Record Cleaning Brush: Record brush “Joni” https://ramar.berlin/en/ Equipment Provided by Audio Gold: Leben CS 600x Valve power amplifier Grundig Audiorama Hanging Speakers Yamaha CR-2020 vintage receiver  Mordaunt Short Festival Series 2 vintage speakers Audio Gold custom Technics plinths https://majical.co.uk/stories The “Aladdin’s Cave of hi-fi” Audio Gold specialises in new and second-hand stereo equipment for your home, restaurant or bar.
