Born and raised in New Jersey, Niyah West loves experimenting on the dance floor and keeps the party activated with her fun, all-vinyl sets – and no stone is left unturned with her dynamic range.
If you listen closely, Niyah loves giving dancers and listeners a history lesson with her unique mixing. One minute she’ll have you transporting back to the iconic Club Zanzibar, touching corners of Gospel House, big-band Disco native to the legendary Newark hot spot in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. Before you know it, you’re zooming over to Detroit and Chicago, shuffling and twisting your hips to Soulful House, Tribal grooves or classics from some of the greats like Dee Dee Brave, Robert Hood and the Late great Paul Johnson.
Niyah has been busy. Last year, she did a Euro/UK tour and a phenomenal vinyl set for My Analog Journal, a popular YouTube series where DJs are given free rein to explore rare grooves and forgotten gems with their vinyl selection. Something tells us Miss West has a lot more in store for us this year.
For episode 80, Shannon chats with Niyah about her DJ journey, her recent UK/Euro tour, the music that informs her sound, and how her family has played a deep role in her transition to playing vinyl.
