Programma

Keenan Mundane

00:30 – 01:00

In the world of underground hip-hop, Keenan Mundane emerges as an impressive storyteller. Armed with nothing but a mic and sampler, he weaves gritty beats and introspective lyrics into a captivating narrative. Influenced by the likes of JPEGMAFIA, Earl Sweatshirt and MF DOOM, Mundane offers a fresh take on the rugged sounds of both the UK and the United States. His debut mixtape, Treasures of the Mundane (2021), introduced listeners to his distinctive blend of raw lyricism and innovative instrumentals. As he continues to carve his path, he explores the profound within the mundane, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions.

Kabeaushé

23.30 – 00.00

The beholder of softness, the embodiment of cuteness known for oozing sass galore on sweaty dancefloors; the dangerously extravagant Kabeaushé. They are crafting a sound of their own, infused with pop sensibilities that go from Prince to Bollywood and Tyler, the Creator. Future or intelligent pop is probably the best way to describe their music, a rare bird in the African music landscape. The show is a hybrid of music and theater, developed for months in Kampala together with a creative team. They like to explore themes of softness and cuteness, making music that is both gentle and highly invigorating with a show aimed to draw the audience into a hypnotic dance frenzy.

Debby Friday

22.15 – 23.00

After she was born in Nigeria, Debby Friday emigrated to Canada, where she discovered the sensual seduction of nightlife. She drifted from rave to party, from nightclub to basement, completely surrendered to the escapism of hard everyday life. With her multidisciplinary talent she creates the kind of danceable pop that the future is built on. Debby dares to look beyond the sadness and cruelty, and to celebrate the deep valleys that only make our highest peaks more beautiful. It provides a colorful sound palette, far beyond black and white thinking, and into the world of nuance.

H3ir

20.45 – 21.30

Building on a mutual desire to bridge the gap between hip hop and electronic music, H31R (pronounced heir/air) creates an enigmatic but complementary sonic experience that pushes the fickle boundaries of genre. The duo, consisting of producer and composer JWords and Brooklyn rapper/vocalist maassai, both grew up listening to a variety of genres and are using the sounds of their youth to expand on the potential and style of their own music. Their debut ve·loc·i·ty (2020) showcased a speed and grit not heard before in underground music. Its singular amalgamation of hip hop and electronic music, further characterized by flecks of jazz, juke, Jersey club and boom bap, noted a direction in music unbound by the confines of genre. The album’s enigmatic sound paired with a collage of self-affirmations caught wind from the likes of Pitchfork, The Wire, Brooklyn Vegan, Okayplayer, Cabbages and Bandcamp, who called ‘ve·loc·i·ty’ “a marvel of momentum”. Their latest album, HeadSpace (2023), confidently expands their electronic rap vision, featuring wonky, out-of-this-world tracks with a wildly futuristic vibe.

Curling

20.15 – 00.30

DJ Curling is hard to pigeonhole. Whether it’s (industrial) techno or EBM, punk or house or metal, Curling will find his way in any genre. On Hit The City he will draw on his knowledge of obscure and adventurous hip hop.
