DJ RED
As the anchor DJ for Spoilt 4 Choices, DJ Red brings a wealth of music and promotions experience to the table.

Red's music interests can be charted to Zambia , where he grew up in the 70s and 80s. It is well known that Zambians have a huge craving for soul music, and no surprise therefore that having spent his formative years, the passion for soul was engraved in Red's heart from an early age.

Red's real exposure to urban music came from his schooling days in the UK . Residing in Bristol - home of famous music groups Massive Attack, Def con, and a number of other UK acts - trips to local pubs always bored Red as the music selection was quite limited and commercial. However through listening to pirate radio, and exploring the urban club scene, in particular clubs such as Thekla or The Moon Club, Red's interest in music exploded, and he was soon a converted customer spending whatever spare pocket money he had at the specialist record stores in the city.

Initially influenced by cool DJ Red Alert (from whom the name Red was abbreviated) of New York , Red has always believed in the concept of mixing, and is known for switching genres and beats in the mix.

DJ Red's music bias is principally for soul (recent tunes, and classics from the 80s), as well as rap, and an extensive collection of vinyl is maintained till today – a rare feat in Africa .

However the music that most caught his attention was new jack swing, or swingbeat as referred to in the UK , and Red is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable exponents of this sound in Africa . This genre was pioneered by Teddy Riley and Gene Griffin (and later further developed by DJ Eddie F, Devante Swing, Foster Mcelroy and others) in the late 80s and is still known to inspire a few old dance moves when Red is not at work behind the decks.

DJ TUME
A veteran with over twenty years of history listening to music, Anthony Makani, stage/nick name Tume is a self confessed soul and r'n'b fanatic.

Early influences could be charted to the jazz selection played by his father, and his elder sisters and relatives who consistently listened and got down to soul music in the 70s and 80s era.

In his teens Tume was inspired to start playing music and started Djing at various house parties in Dar es Salaam .

An avid and street smart collector of music, Tume relied on his contacts in the local music and disco industry for the latest and also the most popular tunes doing the rounds in Dar es Salaam . Many a tune were picked up from the DJs that used to spin at the cream of Dar es Salaam's disco clubs such as Mbowe, and Msasani Beach, and also from friends overseas.

Given the opportunity to host the ol skool set at Sugar Ray's, Tume established massive loyalty from old and new fans who had previously been starved of quality and varied DJ classic music sets in many of Dar es Salaam's other night spots. The reputation that Sugar Rays Bar developed as a purveyor of classic tunes was largely attributable to the famous 2-3:30am sessions spun by Tume.

Tume's approach to Djing is not biased to technical skill, but focuses on observing what the crowd desires, and packaging an explosive mix of well selected tunes. Occasionally however, Tume does throw in the odd experimental (ethnic, new or classic) tune to see if the crowd can be hyped to a different level. 

DJ BOBBY LOVE
An Englishman by birth, Bobby Love has been resident in Tanzania for nearly ten years, alternating between bushman and jazz man with ease.

His love of Jazz has haunted him since his schoolage discovery of the UK Street Jazz scene, and as the scene developed, embracing new forms and sounds, so the crates deepened until Bobby Love was supplementing his University fees by dropping support sets at local venues for such luminaries of the self-styled Acid Jazz scene as Roy Ayers, Maceo Parker, Galliano, Guru's Jazzmatazz and Jamiroquai.

In his constant quest for the Good Groove, Bobby Love blends a wide-ranging mix of ghetto jazz, junk funk, rare groove soul, old school hip-hop, funky house and dirty disco into a party vibe uniquely tailored to get the groove-loving masses off their funky asses. Over this mish-mashup, he segues film speeches, acapella and dropped beats, mixing up tunes into a sound that defies definition, but jumps genres with grace. "
