---- ARTIST INFO ----

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.
