MORE INFO ON THE ARTISTS
Kampire
Kampire is a core member of Kampala’s Nyege Nyege collective. She’s one of East Africa’s most exciting young DJs, travelling outside Uganda to play festivals in Europe, UK, Burkina Faso and Democratic Republic Of Congo. Her sets of bass-heavy music are inspired by her upbringing in a mining town along Zambia’s copper belt, where she listened to Congolese music and African pop.
This is her first year playing gigs outside of Uganda, with 2018 highlights including Sonar Festival, Le Sucre Lyon, Atlas Electronic Marakesh, Nuits Sonores Brussels, Unsound Festival, Dada Beijing, Dada Shanghai.
Rocky Marsiano
Rocky Marsiano is the instrumental/beats project of the Portuguese old school producer/MC/DJ D-Mars. His latest couple of albums, part of the "Meu Kamba" series, bring a very new element to Rocky's production: music from Angola, Cabo Verde and Mozambique.
He has performed at all the main venues and festivals in Portugal, (e.g. Vodafone Mexefest, Lux Frágil, Gulbenkian, Lisbon Casino) and was selected by Gilles Peterson as part of his night at Casa da Música (Porto). He also DJs regularly at some of Lisbon's main clubs (Radio-Hotel, Music Box, etc.).
