Sifu Walker Spinzone

02-13-2008
Every Tuesday night, KTUH listeners get their fill of classic soul thanks in part to the musical styling of DJ Sifu “Jive” Walker.

As one of the most seasoned staffers at Hawai‘i’s only alternative, Walker’s radio shows have run the gamut of genres of only the smoothest and funkiest in hip-hop, breaks, jazz and fusion.

While concentrating solely on his show at the moment, you can also catch the certified funk sole maestro on the decks at KTUH sponsored events and also at Next Door and Thirtyninehotel for the monthly installments of The Next Movement and Soul Clap.

With all the new music of today, he admits he’ll always be biased to music’s more soulful side.

“I really appreciate the presentation, the sharp suits, the clear voices, and the “sophisticated gentleman” vibe,” he said. “It brings a completely different level of class to the music … you can’t mess with that.”
