Curated and mixed by resident DJ Mensa, “The Bar’Kada Sessions” is a sample of the great vibes guests enjoy every time they hang at Bar’Kada. Music is such an important part to the atmosphere, and DJ Mensa keeps it funky and soulful from song one. From R’n’B, Dancehall, and Afrobeat, to house and baile, the bass and melodies that blast through the speakers complement the outstanding food and cocktails Bar’Kada has quickly built its reputation on. Stop by 745 Queen St W. this weekend and...

In celebration of a summer not lost, DJ Mensa serves up a mighty helping of remixes, blends, flips, and edits he's collected as of late.

Enjoy thoroughly. You've earned it.

For my first mix of 2021, I’m excited to have collaborated with some very talented DJs from all parts of the map on a project sure to melt your winter blahs.

Another amazing episode chock full of great vibes through out! Get your two step on vigorously.

Heavy 2-steppin' R'n'B vibes with this one. Some cool uptempo edits of the classics to close it off. Enjoy!

R'N'B Vibes abounds for you and yours! Enjoy this mix thoroughly.

Very hyped to unleash this one. Some reggae remixes I’ve had in the stash for a long time, R’n’B dopeness, and house vibes to end it strong. This one will stay in your rotation!

15 episodes in of that goodness. Plenty of remixes and singalong tracks for you and yours!

The 14th serving of vibes! Good portions of club hip-hop, dope remixes, and reggae, soca, and afro!

Initially released Spring 2009, Spread Love kicked off my "Sounds of the Season" series that I've been making for the past decade. This mix is that shake-off of the winter blahs and the carefree joy that spring and summer offer. It's songs about crushes, infatuation, going through the motions of relationships, and just happiness overall. Spread love, it's the only way.
