Slikback, Lord Spikeheart, Aho Ssan, Blood of Aza, Mvcoko
Institute of Contemporary Arts, SW1Y 5AH , [Venue Details]DIASPORIC EXPLORATIONS
A celebration of the black diaspora through sonic dualities.
SYPHEN, Baba Yaga's Hut and the ICA team up to bring some of the most exciting artists from the black diaspora together for a deep dive into experimentalism.
Slikback (real name: Fredrick M Njau) is an electronic producer from Nairobi, Kenya, mainly focusing on experimental music, noise, bass, and high-intensity rhythms. Over the years, his sound has morphed into various forms, all meant to be an expression of different ideas and emotions.
Dedicated to his iconic grandmother Muthoni wa Kirima, the only woman to earn the rank of Field Marshal during Kenya's Mau Mau uprising against British colonists, Lord Spikeheart's long-awaited solo debut, 'The Adept', is an album that seethes with revolutionary energy.
Aho Ssan is the artist name of Paris-based Niamké Désiré. After studying graphic design and cinema, he began to compose electronic music and create his own digital instruments. His debut LP Simulacrum was released earlier this year via Subtext Recordings.
Blood of Aza is a London-based artist, producer, and DJ whose blissful sonic palette ranges from soothing MIDI lullaby magic and speaker-blowing club edits to hell-raising ambient soundscapes.
MVCOKO is London-based DJ, producer, and founder of SYPHEN. Their work engages with the extremities of emotion - drawing on anguish, rage, and tension as core materials.
