Oblivious meets Marjorie Light aka Gingee

I'm so excited for this Oblivious Interview. I can't remember how I met Marjorie, but I'm glad I know her. She's a dope ass dj who puts out hot fire mixes. For folks who love to dance you have got to check her out. I am especially stoked to check out her latest EP Tambol. I love when artist infuse Filipino instruments into their music.
