    KOKOKO! – literally »Knock Knock Knock« – is the sound of the new generation and scene in Kinshasa that are knocking on the door of change. The band is part of a wider political and cultural youth movement in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, that aim to reinvent themselves in contrast to an older generation, and find freedom of expression through new social and artistic practices. Originally born from a creative collision of four musicians from the Ngwaka neighbourhood (Dido Oweke, Boms Bomolo, Love Lokombe, Makara Bianko) that were looking towards an idea of a future »techno,« and French electronic producer Débruit, the band has recently restructured into a trio that heralds a more electronic and abrasive sound and the promise to showcase »an even less documented side of the Kinshasa music scene.«

    Meth Math, a collaboration between vocalist Angél Ballesteros and producers error.error and Bonsai Babies, takes the digitised, synthy vocals of Ballesteros and sets them against infectiously playful hybrids of pop, neoperrero and happy hardcore as well as downtempo electronic soundscapes. Their EP m♡rtal was released in March 2022.

    Opening the night is Opium Hum, who builds DJ sets with sombre, hazy drones and fantastical soundscapes permeated by deep, shifting rhythms to create what can only be called a waking dream.
