Nimelook at the other pre-existing threads but they’re over 2 years old at this point and I made one with a different title from EDM to distinguish it from the negative associations of big-room EDM as a genre.
Ambient Techno, Kuduro, Dub Techno, Acid-House, Industrial Techno, Garage, Afro-House, Gqom, Kwaito, Italodisco, Micro House, Acid Techno, Deep House, French House, Chicago House, Outsider House, PC Music, DnB, Hardstyle, BreakBeat, UK Bass, Future Garage etc you get the point. Post music, events, mixes, house parties, memes, discussions, your drug dealer’s number etc

There’s an event in Westi this Saturday that I’m excited to attend because sijui what the electronic music scene in Kenya is like juu nimekuwa ng’ambo.

Nilivisit Kampala kwanza kabla nirudi home na wakona a decently emerging electronic music scene buoyed by the Nyege Nyege/ Hakuna Kulala krew.
They have a Kenyan on their roster called Slikback (Freddy Njau) whose music due to a lack of better description on my part I’d describe as African-inflected-trap-deconstructed club music. Soundtrack ya your next anarcho-dystopic movie.
He’s getting quite a lot of international acclaim at the moment but anaget zero silence at home.
An EP he released early last year got an 8.0 from Pitchfork and one of his tracks from his collaborative efforts with future-bent Chinese electronic artists earned him a spot on Resident Advisor’s best tracks of 2019. He’s also played at world-class festivals like Dekmantel and Unsound. He’s probably Kenya’s brightest star in the electronic music conversation.
What do you guys think of our boy?
