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!

Global Warmth: Suthern Kumfurt
Summer has come and gone,so have several people places and things. Things that once were are no more,like the leaves in the trees...having different colors and different purposes, an inevitable change which is the way the world works. As I compiled the tunes for this episode,many things changed from the order of the songs to the songs themselves as I too went through a metamorphosis in search of purpose. The mission was accomplished,yet again in the foothills of suburban Georgia,through rays of sun,and buckets of rain. Calm,then storms,then calm again...unsettling yet comfortable the journey was. This mix echoes the waves and undercurrents of becoming anew,all over again. So please strap in and find yourself,somewhere in the midst of it all; enjoy.
