Enoch Raavi is a St. Louis-born arts enthusiast, professional DJ, self-published recording artist (Enoch Raavi and the Indigenous Groove) and bassist. Enoch studied radio production in the mid 1990’s and became an announcer on the Webster University-based radio station KSLH Jazz 91.5 in St. Louis.As early as 2003, Enoch has traversed throughout several iterations of ’podcasts’. Long before the advent of Apple’s iPod, he began webcasting with a station on Live 365, which was inevitably followed by syndicated episodes on Podomatic. In order, the original shows were entitled… “Eklektika”,”Soul Safari”, “Knocturnal Sunshine”, and the last of which was “Global Warmth”, which had a corresponding listening party event featuring live musical acts, African drumming and deejaying, and was housed at several brick & mortar locations. You can find a few of these archived here, and in response to popular demand, do expect new material and shows in the Spring of 2022. Exact dates will be published soon, so for now please enjoy these older episodes, which never get old, and stay tuned for the future installments!

Soul Safari: Invocation Intonation
The 'spiritual' realm is term that is perpetually elusive to most, yet is a constant dwelling place for some others. For those that reside in innerspace, it is not uncommon to convey its magnificence to destinations that are less than stellar, hoping to offer a glimpse of something...more. Those of us that are charged with this task eagerly deliver the goods, intact and unadulterated so that the recipients of the vibrations are attuned accordingly. This blend of Soul, Salsa, and (Acid)Jazz features tunes from nu skool genre benders Slakah the Beatchild and Taylor McFerrin, Soul from Dwele and D'angelo, Asian Electronica from Kyoto Jazz Massive and Yukihiro Fukutomi, and Nuyorican flavor from Elements of Life with a special remix of the classic straight ahead tune "Take five" originally recorded by Dave Brubeck. If you so happen to like it, support it, however you can. You have the power, so invoke it.
