› About
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Bazz appears ahead of his highly-anticipated full length on Nyege Nyege’s Hakuna Kulala label, which is also gearing up to publish a debut by Arsenal Mikebe, a Kampala-based percussion trio with a heavy body style of drumming interspersed with soul vocals and jungle infused trance.
On the second floor, dark tones and polyrhythmic textures form winding narratives imbued with folkloric traditions and cultural histories. Raja Kirik, the collaborative project of Yennu Ariendra and J. Mo'ong Santoso Pribadi, emerged from the pair’s extensive research into the colonial history of Java, Indonesia, and the resulting local expressions of resistance that took form in shamanic trance dances such as jaranan buto and jatilan. Using traditional Indonesian percussion and digitised noise produced by an arsenal of homemade instruments, Ariendra and Pribadi weave rhythmic narratives of collective memories and trauma. Hüma Utku utilises abstract sound and music as tools for storytelling, fusing field recordings and acoustic instruments into harmonious noise and harsh rhythms. A relentless collaborator even through pandemic times, Zoë Mc Pherson strives to connect sonic and visual aesthetics through her music and her Berlin-based label and community SFX. Following the critically acclaimed 2020 release, States of Fugue, and a collaborative track with Jessica Ekomane for Ostgut Ton, McPherson will be supporting their forthcoming full-length, Abyss Elixir at CTM. Spawned from London's underground hip hop scene and obsessed with horror themes, DJ Die Soon creates an artistic universe by weaving demon masks, manga, and other elements of Japanese culture with dystopian freak beats.As host for the entire evening, Marylou provides rare selections intertwining traditional ritualistic music and percussion with bass, psychedelic dub, and experimental electronic sounds.
On the third floor, for this edition of CTM, radio platform Refuge Worldwide is represented by four different DJs who will play chill-out and experimental sounds together for the first time, in an all-night-long B2B session. Two Thou, aka Two Thousand, is a producer from South Sardinia inspired by the idea of a future that stems largely from the last century. NM DJ is a recording artist based in Berlin, who will also perform spoken-word poems on the night at SchwuZ. Richard Akingbehin is a co-founder of Refuge Worldwide, as well as the founder of Kynant Records. ELLLL, known mainly for her blend of techno, bass and breaks, completes the bill.
