DJ Westfa
DJ Westfa is a Black queer DJ and cultural curator whose deep, soulful sets have become a staple in Berlin and Amsterdam’s night life. With roots in Suriname, Westfa channels a spiritual connection to music, weaving house, tribal rhythms, percussion, and deeper journeys into performances that are as emotionally resonant as they are rhythmically compelling.
Over a decade ago, Westfa founded Our Society in Amsterdam—a community-driven event series that evolved into a platform for soulful gatherings and cultural exchange. Through Our Society, he has booked legendary artists like Theo Parrish, Moodymann, and Robert Owens, while also spotlighting emerging talent. The project has since expanded into fundraisers, panels and Our Society Radio on Refuge Worldwide, where Westfa hosts intimate conversations with guests about mental health, creativity, and personal growth, all soundtracked by music that has shaped their lives.
