- "When I got started, there wasn't much diversity at all." The young DJ discusses Australia's QTBIPOC community, debuting at Dekmantel and more.
- Charlotte Frimpong, the DJ better known as C.FRIM, has become one of Australia's most in-demand DJs over the last year. Born in Australia with Ghanaian-Filipina heritage, she kickstarted her career with a Boiler Room set at Sugar Mountain in December 2022, and since then, she's toured around Europe (including a debut at Dekmantel) and earned a reputation for digging deep into her musical ancestry and weaving amapiano and Afro-electronic sounds creatively through her sets.
Even though Frimpong hasn't been around for long, she's managed to carve out a unique space for the QTBIPOC community in Australia with the party she co-runs, Dutty, which she says is for people who can relate to the afro-diaspora or who just want to open their minds to it. In this interview recorded live at an RA PRO event in Melbourne, Frimpong talks to journalist Tanya Akinola about "air DJing" in her bedroom before being able to afford gear, and how her career has skyrocketed since. Listen to her thoughts on all this and more in the full episode.
