AKA HEX (Aïsha Devi & Slikback) and a local special guest
AKA HEX is a brand new collaboration between Aïsha Devi and Slikback, whose debut show will feature guest appearances. Devi was born in Switzerland with Nepali indigenous heritage, and her transversal identity has helped her navigate the underground as not just a producer and vocalist, but as a DJ and curator. Co-founding the Danse Noire imprint in 2013, which released her breakout EP. Devi's interest in sonic alchemy and multi-dimensional expression came to an overflowing head with last year's enigmatic Death Is Home, which featured the first collaboration with Slikback.
Born and raised in Nairobi, Slikback is one of the world's most adventurous producers, taking elements from the wide spectrum of club, noise, ambient and rap musics and forming them into a psychedelic lattice of high intensity sounds and emotions. He's spent the last few years prolifically contributing to his canon via his Bandcamp stream, this year compiling the highlights into the frenetic double-LP SLIKBACK – 22 tracks of future-facing, soundsystem-ready experimental club sounds that define his journey so far. Recently, Slikback’s DATA EP released the legendary Tempa label.
