Sonic Sahara is a forward-thinking events brand, community and radio show. Focusing on building the local community music scene and bringing artists from across the globe to perform. With a great reputation with: venues, agencies and artists alike. A real focus on electronic music with a worldly, global feel.
Sonic Sahara is a co-ran project; we first started due to our love for music and the broader arts. After having some success we now use it as a platform that not only promotes musicians… but people from the broader creative sphere. We really do think about every step from unlocking new venues, to highlighting the need to use disused spaces, to even the people we have on the door at our events and utilising independent designers/illustrators/animators as and when we can – we have a wide eye for detail.
The project invovles collaborationwith other promoters and nights to really attempt to create a community and hub across Manchester and Leeds. We have had the pleasure of being asked to collaborate with Feelings (record label), Dimensions Festival, Rhythm Section and Soundwave Festival among others.
For over a year now, we have taken to the airwaves on Reform Radio and Limbo Radio. The former, having a residency which allows us to truly explore all our musical interests from: house, balearic, electronic, ambient, dub, roots, world, experimental, boogie and more. We’ve started to get guests on the show, with the most recent being Patrick from Piccadilly Records (next up will be Randy Brunson of Full Beam/Hi-Tackle Records etc.)
Former guests include: Pender Street Steppers, Bradley Zero, Jay Daniel, Session Victim, Tom Trago, Hidden Spheres, Cosmic Tom, Sassy J, Chaos in the CBD, Les Yeux Orange, Ptaki, Loz Goddard, Hollick, Red Greg, Charlie Bones and Bosa.
