Testing the possibilities of slower dance music, Diessa focuses on tempo and rhythmic textures. Her latest EP Between Rooms was released in March 2021 on the London label Edited Arts.
New Orleans rapper Delish Da Goddess has gained appreciation for her confident repping of bounce and fearless, politically blunt bars about her experiences as a queer Black woman artist. Following her 2020 release, Bye America, a trap-fused personal and political meditation on the state of the times, is her new EP Violet EP 2, a poetic ode to her hometown.
Prepping a debut release for Nyege Nyege’s Hakuna Kulala label Arsenal Mikebe are a Kampala-based percussion trio with a heavy body style of drumming interspersed with soul vocals and jungle infused trance.
Highlighting queerness within Caribbean music culture, emerging vocalist and producer Grove exhibits a distinct style echoing dancehall, pop, punk, and jungle influences. Inspirations for their hybrid lyric and rap-laced productions are the hip hop collective 5 Mics, as well as the electronic project BAAST, the latter which is jointly run with producer and DJ Diessa.
espousing socio-political frustration on violence, religion, and poverty in Uganda’s ghettos, Ecko Bazz’s delirious and visceral lyricism screamed in his native Luganda language will be supported by the cybernetic next wave intensity of rising producer Chrisman.
Hailing from Brazil is BADSISTA, the MC, DJ and Tormenta collective member that palpably harnesses the energy from her emo days, and funnels it into high-energy sets full of rave cuts, funk carioca, and bassy tunes. Her newest compilation of dance-ready tracks, Lucy 4D, will be released in March 2022.
