After witnessing ’s set at Fusion festival 2025, we simply had to invite him for our 34th Herbarium episode. We are more than glad we did as he put together such a powerful journey enriched with juicy sounds and grooves, we can’t hold back to move to this 🐒
Here’s some background about aloka’s choice of a plant:
The plant that I think best represents my sound is gorse (Ulex europaeus). It grows everywhere along the Welsh coast where I’m from, and it has this wild, intimidating look with its sharp spines. But when it blooms, it suddenly becomes bright and full of colour - sometimes almost all year round. I think that the contrast of something fierce turning vibrant really reflects the balance in my music.
