Remix Oslo 2026

Remix Oslo brings together forces from East Africa, Central Africa, Brazil and Europe in an effort to put Oslo on the international club music map. The main goal of Remix Oslo is to make some space for cultural exchange in Norway – remixing Oslo if you will.
Our collaborator through many years, Nyege Nyege, is the main model for the festival, and not the least a major source of inspiration. Now we see the need to develop a new identity for the festival – one based on multicultural Oslo. Remix Oslo is putting a perspective on how Oslo belongs to the whole world.
In addition to Nyege Nyege Festival, the organizer Digital Diaspora, also collaborate with other related festivals in Africa, such as Kilele Summit in Kenya and KinAct in DRC Congo – as well as Oslo Mela in Norway. As a consequence, Remix Oslo 2026 is something in between all of these festivals.

Line-up:
ANTI VAIRAS (Tanzania)

JAY MITTA (Tanzania)
The Sisso Studios star Jay Mitta is almost ready for a new album. On that occasion, he’s bringing the high paced energy of the singeli movement back to Oslo.
SHAUN D (Netherlands)
The story of bubbling begins with a DJ playing dancehall at the wrong speed – and a genre is born. Shaun D is one of the artists who helped put the genre on the map in the Netherlands almost 20 years ago. Last year, his retrospective album “From Bubbling To Dutch House” is out on Nyege Nyege Tapes.
CATU DIOSIS (Uganda)
As a DJ, producer, dancer and rapper, Catu Diosis embodies the interdisciplinary spirit of the Nyege Nyege collective – which she has been part of since its inception. Hakuna Kulala released her EP “Anyim” in 2025, and her her vocals on Waq Waq Kingdoms “Buri Buri” one of The Quietus’ top 75 tracks of 2023.
SVEBBE (Norway)
Svebbe is a DJ and music journalist with an eclectic club music expression, built for spaces where genre boundaries are allowed to sweat. He is a well-known name internationally, not least thanks to his comments, which take the form of microscopic reviews on the online music store Bandcamp.
VINNAU (Brazil)
Vinnau, from Brazil, is one of the dopest DJs in Brazilian funk, a genre that Spotify reports is currently is the fastest-growing internationally, even outpacing K-pop. It is a complex yet instantly appealing form of music, tailor-made for bodily response.
CHARLOTTE BENDIKS (Norway)
Charlotte Bendiks- the northern ambassador of distant intimacy. She is playful and silly, and therefore confident and sexy, whether as a Dj or playing live, her music is deep, dark, and kaleidoscopic. She’s got releases on Cómeme, and has experience as one of the organizers of the Insomnia Festival.
NASHA (USA/Norway)
A New Jersey-raised, Oslo-based DJ, artist and founder of the philanthropic rave concept “Ebonix”.

UBACHIIII (Norway)
Ubachiiii explores the distance between the raw and the playful – an energy flash where ghetto house, hyperpop and hardgroove makes the dancefloor vibrate.
Remix Oslo 2026 is a collaboration and co-curation between Digital Diaspora, Nyege Nyege Festival and Kilele Summit.
The festival is organized with support from Arts Council Norway / Kulturrådet.
