Saige Sounds (GB)

Saige Sounds is the DJ alias of Imani Thomas, a DJ, researcher and archivist driven by a deep love of music and what it carries. With a background in Anthropology, her approach is rooted in curiosity, feeling and a respect for the histories a record holds. Guided by digging and storytelling, she has hosted regular shows on Balamii and NTS, and spent three years working in culture at Wax Poetics Magazine.

Alongside her DJ work, Imani is the founder of Studio Sula, an archival project dedicated to researching and documenting Black music history and culture. It grew out of the sound system collection of her great-grandfather, King Tooth, and has since expanded across physical media and ephemera, from rare books and records to flyers and print, shared through research, imagery and intimate events that bring the archive into the room.
