One of last year’s highlights was getting to know the 5 projects in Studio Monkey Shoulder—spanning continents, clubs, festivals & radio. The spaces where culture is made really matter.

Now we’re back for Year 2 – with Germany in the mix 🇩🇪✨

[Gilles Peterson @gillespeterson]

I’ve got a long-standing connection with Germany—some of my earliest residencies were there, including at Beat Box in Wuppertal. The country’s music & club culture runs deep, and I’m excited to explore new stories and scenes this year.
