In what is clearly a case of the mentor meeting his mentee — Kimble Rogers joins Otis Fraser on 4 February 2023 at The Place.
The two veteran turntablists will be rocking the party aptly dubbed Old Skool Reunion at Heath Streak Sports Club in Bulawayo.
The gig will also feature Bulawayo’s finest — Babongile Skonjwa and Power FM’s Emity Smooth.
Both renowned radio DJs, Kimble Rogers or Double K is rocking the airwaves on ZiFM Stereo in Harare while Otis aka The Flow is back at Botswana’s top radio station Gabz FM.
But the one good thing, Double K and The Flow started out their careers in Bulawayo where they rocked the pubs and clubs.
And the old skool reunion could not have been staged at a better time and place than in Bulawayo.
Way back around 1995 at the then Radio 3 at Montrose Studios The Flow during effortlessly delivered the best in music coupled by his seamless mixes on the turntables that delighted listeners.
“It was a challenging experience and journey as DJs expressed their strengths through the latest music. Basically, if you didn’t have a contact abroad, deejaying for you was tough!” The Flow once said in an interview.
“Also, being from Bulawayo and the youngest presenter on air at that time, had its own fair share of hurdles to overcome. I mean, Harare was like the city to get recognition from ultimately, for the country to give you your well-earned stripes.
“But, I loved it, looking up to my radio idols, the likes of Tsitsi Jindu (RIP), Peter Johns (RIP), Kelvin The Soul Supreme, George Munetsi, Joseph Hussein and the man who taught me how to mix, Kimble Rogers, just to mention a few. Club DJs also influenced me, too many to mention right now.”
