Farrago: Global

Sarith is a versatile professional dedicated to fostering inclusive environments and uniting communities through her expertise in curation, film, and music. She is a member of the Daytimers Internal team, a resident at Mondo Radio, the Founder/ Creative director of Dhaga & Co-Founder/ Co-Producer of Arachnid Production House.

She has DJ’d for Daytimers Residencies with Phonox & Adidas Originals, and at many arts and culture events throughout London. Being born and raised in Sri Lanka and having travelled across many countries including India, Thailand, Australia and Berlin, her work is inspired by a blend of cultures. Sarith’s sets are a seamless fusion of sound including Afrobeats, House, Jersey Club, UK funky and more.

Named after the Japanese word for wolf, Ōkami is the side project of artist Kamī; a space where she channels her fundamental belief that sound is a sacred vessel through which communities of colour can connect in solidarity and find true liberation.

Having begun her journey as a DJ through Voices Radio, her mixes have been featured on the likes of NTS and Radio 1001. She has found her footing playing at London’s Pxssy Palace, Body Movements and with the fast-rising Half East Records collective.

While Ōkami has a deep affinity for the atmospheric and sub-heavy frequencies of 140, dnb, dubstep, grime and drill, you can often find her playfully switching gear into rich global club sounds such as dancehall, bhangra, gqom, Asian dance sub-genres, baile and ballroom with plenty of attitude.
