Carnegie Hall

Ugandan DJ Kampire is a sonic ambassador for East African electronic music. The Nyege Nyege affiliate brings a one-of-a-kind DJ set fusing various genres of modern diasporic club music into joyous dance floor workouts. Known for high-speed rhythms, many genres from East Africa share the pulse and character of African American born genres such as juke, footwork, jit, and ghettotech, the last two being from Detroit. Sinistarr grew up hearing these sounds on the local radio and fused them with the sonic palette of jungle and drum and bass. Together, Sinistarr and Kampire will push timeless and of the time rhythms and breaks born of the African diaspora.
