Her dedication transforms stages into sanctuaries of inclusivity and celebration, pioneering change with every beat. Pri (DJ Set) Pri’s sets are shaped as much by dancefloors as they are by conversation — tips from Uber drivers, tunes swapped in smoking areas, and deep chats with locals around the world. Sounds which wouldn’t be out of place in a Jazz, Funk or Disco set - his approach to music discovery is rooted in community, curiosity, and a love for the unexpected. At a time when the world feels more divided than ever, his passion — both behind the decks and on social media— is to make the world feel smaller, one track at a time. Whether you’re searching for records, printing your own artwork, or soaking in the sounds of DJs, For the Love of Vinyl promises an unforgettable night of music, art, and community.
