Roots is a dedicated listening experience created to preserve and share the music of DJ Light. For decades, DJ Light’s sound travelled across the world - from the beaches of Goa to countries across Europe, the Americas, Australia, Africa, and beyond. His sets became known not simply as performances, but as journeys that could unfold for hours, guiding listeners through rhythm, atmosphere, and collective energy. Roots was created to give this music a home. Instead of endless feeds or algorithms, the app focuses entirely on the work of DJ Light. Each mix is presented as part of a carefully curated collection, allowing listeners to explore the sound as it was meant to be experienced. The interface is designed to complement the music itself - immersive, and responsive to the artwork and atmosphere of each release.
