DJ Hanif Wondir

For nearly 20 years, Wondir has been mixing it up and scratching behind the turntables. In addition to recording with notables, including Talib Kweli, KRS-One and DJ Rob Swift, he’s shared stages with the likes of De La Soul, Common and Mos Def – what, no DJ Jazzy Jeff? But it all comes down to Wondir’s original delivery of music, whether it’s obscure contemporary stuff or throwback material you haven’t heard. “I find my particular style circulates around being different from the cookie cutter and keeping people on their toes with unexpected, highly curated, fresh music that they’ve never heard, but love,” he says. “When you spend the time to really formulate your own voice in your music selection and style, there’s no limit to what you can do.”
