Musician, songwriter and creative and aspiring scholar of divinity, Rukaiyah is not your standard DJ. Ritual to most might mean a series of repeated actions within a religious context.

Ritual with Rukaiyah explores this idea through music with a mix of performance and soundscape pieces from around the world. Not confined to spirituals and devotional tracks, she wants to shift your perceptions of what it means to experience a ritual, beyond routine. Get thine candles lit, for a blessèd hour is about to commence.Perfect Slip Forever: Library Lounge Mix
