J1 | We Are Radar w/ Nkisi, Phatrax, Olivia / Chino, Kinzo Chrome

Na grudniową edycję We Are Radar zaprosiliśmy wyjątkową artystkę obecnie mieszkającą w Londynie Nkisi. Melika Ngombe Kolongo tworzy muzykę intensywną, pełną energii w której słychać wpływy afrykańskiej polirytmii, hardcore techno oraz muzyki z horrorów lat 70′.
Ma kilka wydawnictw na swoim koncie między innym album na wytwórni Lee Gamble UIQ oraz sublabelu Warp, Arcola.
Nkisi jest artystką wszechstronną, tworzy muzykę do londyńskich galerii, instalacji i performensów. Ma swoją audycję w NTS Radio oraz współtworzy wraz z Chino Amobi i Angel Ho kolektyw NON, grupę artystów pochodzenia afrykańskiego, których łączą poglądy polityczne.

*Nkisi produces intense, powerful club tracks equally influenced by
African polyrhythms, hardcore techno, and ’70s Italian horror films. The London-based musician and visual artist is one of the co-founders of NON Worldwide, a collective of experimental artists from across the African diaspora.
After releasing several digital and vinyl EPs throughout the 2010s,
Nkisi’s full-length debut, 7 Directions, appeared in 2019. In 2020,
Nkisi’s new label INITIATION emerges with INT001, a 3 track EP
melting rhythmic noise strategies with secret drum languages from
Ancient Kongo traditions. As a fierce DJ, Nkisi channels 160+ bpm
kick drums, metallic hectic percussions and hypnotizes the dance
floor into a ritualistic transcendental space.
Melika Ngombe Kolongo was born in Congo, raised in Belgium, and
began using the moniker Nkisi after moving to London in 2012.
Gravitating toward the more aggressive side of dance music, yet
maintaining a heavy emotional factor as well as a sense of dreaminess, she began producing music in addition to being resident at a club night called Endless. Her first releases, 16 and 21, appeared on Doomcore, the Hamburg-based label run by Low Entropy, in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Along with Chino Amobi and Angel-Ho, Nkisi cofounded NON Worldwide in 2015, and began appearing on the label’s compilations. She began hosting a monthly program on NTS Radio in January of 2016, and composed music for installations and theatre performances held in several galleries throughout London and
Europe during the next few years.
Her first vinyl release, Kill EP, was released by MW in 2017. During
the year, she also curated the annual festival held by Wysing Arts
Centre in Cambridge, which was titled Opaque Poetics. Nkisi’s EP
The Dark Orchestra was released by Warp’s long-dormant Arcola imprint after it was revived in early 2018.
Her debut fulllength, 7 Directions, was issued by Lee Gamble’s
UIQ label in 2019. The album was inspired by the African cosmology
of the Bantu-Kongo, particularly the writings of Kongo scholar
Dr. Kimbwandende Kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau.
