Clwb Orange Ft DJ Ricado Banks

This episode of Clwb Orange is all about good vibes and great tunes. Rosemary Dery is joined by DJ Ricardo Banks (aka DJ Comfort) — a Cardiff music mainstay with over 15 years behind the decks. He brings a silky, genre-blending mix with everything from R&B, hip-hop, neo-soul, afrobeats, and more — stretching from the 2020s all the way back to the 80s.

Between tracks, they chat about Ricardo’s journey so far, from touring across the UK and Europe and playing festivals like Glastonbury,Reading and Boomtown, to holding it down in Cardiff’s favourite bars and venues. He’s shared stages with everyone from Grandmaster Flash, De La Soul to Stormzy, but this convo’s more about the love for music, his hopes for the Cardiff scene, and just catching a proper vibe.

Oh — and the little moment where Rosemary casually mentions that Snoh Aalegra sounds like Michael Jackson, and Ricardo has a minor existential crisis. We have to agree that she does though, right? 

It’s fun, soulful, and easy — the kind of show that just flows. Tune in and hang out.
