Ugandan DJ and producer Don Zilla releases terse, tense and palpitation-inducing music on labels such as Hakuna Kulala – the club-focused sister imprint to Nyege Nyege Tapes. And by day, he dons an equally vital managerial hat at Boutiq Studio: a community recording studio and residency space in Kampala. Both aspects of his work nod to his importance within the city’s electronic music ecosystem. In this mix lifted from a raucous night at Kampala venue Hollywood Massawa, Zilla whisks together foreboding atmospherics and furious drums. Rude and relentless – in the very best way.
Kampire, a core member of Nyege Nyege, has teamed up with Decay to raise funds for local arts organisation 32° East Ugandan Arts Trust. Find out more here.
