2021: Ale Hop
Alejandra Cardenas, aka Ale Hop, composes electronic and electroacoustic music with strains of noise, pop, avant-garde, and ambient. She uses a complex repertoire of extended techniques for electric guitar and real-time sampling devices. During her residency, she aims to explore non-Western, syncopated and other polyrhythms patterns; and the encounter between Afroperuvian meters and traditional Central Uganda rhythms.
2019: DJ Scotch Egg
He is »definitely not a DJ, he’s defiantly not Scottish, and he’s probably not an Egg.« Shigeru Ishihara aka DJ Scotch Egg has been active for almost two decades, and is known for his energetic 8-bit breakcore performances that embrace a wide berth of sounds. He was awarded the inaugural residency and, during his time in Kampala, spawned a collaboration with Khanja & MC Yallah. His 2021 release, Tewari, on Nyege Nyege's Hakuna Kuala label documents several of his encounters and ensuing collaborations.
