"Kodama (木霊, 木魂 or 木魅) are spirits in Japanese folklore that inhabit trees, similar to the dryads of Greek mythology. The term is also used to denote a tree in which a kodama supposedly resides. The phenomenon known as yamabiko, when sounds make a delayed echoing effect in mountains and valleys, is sometimes attributed to this kind of spirit, and may also be referred to as "kodama".

Kodama are considered to nimbly bustle about mountains at will. Their outer appearance is very much like an ordinary tree, but if one attempts to cut it down, one would become cursed, it is thus considered to have some kind of mysterious supernatural power. The knowledge of those trees that have kodama living in them is passed down by the elderly of that area over successive generations and they are protected, and it is also said that trees that have a kodama living in them are of certain species. There is also a theory that when old trees are cut, blood could come forth from them."

Jinku is a Stockholm-based Kenyan electronic producer and DJ, who has been at the forefront of the NuNairobi movement. He is most well known as a founding member of the music collective East African Wave (EA WAVE), which came onto the scene in 2015. 

He’s been steadily refining his fusion of Afro House, R&B, and African percussion into a genre he defines as tribal downtempo while remixing for well-known music acts such as Branko, Daniel Haaksman, Frank Yamma, Mabiisi, Makadem and Ami Faku. 

Jinku has released music through respected labels such as Enchufada, Man Recordings, On The Corner Records, Banana Hill and Lump Records. His records have received support from Worldwide FM, Boiler Room, DJ Mag and The NATIVEmag.

In 2022 he curated music for XLR8R+ and contributed to the XLR8R Podcast showcasing the sounds of Nairobi. Both his albums Oasis Park III and Passenger 555 made it onto The NativeMag's 'Best R&B Projects of 2022' list at No.10 and No.7 respectively. Ableton has named him the city's Rising star.

PamiK.snd is the music production project created by Paolo Rossi (aka PamiK), musician born near Lake Garda, Brescia, Italy.

Paolo perfectly remembers the first listenings of 80s pop music and the many tapes played in his father car radio. As a teenager he favoured sounds such as Hard Rock and Grunge but, over the years, he refines his tastes and he moved towards Funky, Soul, Jazz and also Fusion.

At 8 years old, Paolo met his first instrument, the trumpet; today he still regrets not having immediately understood its charm and not having studied it professionally. Later he started to study the electric bass guitar until getting the diploma at the N.A.M. in Milan.....in these unforgettable funny years with the first real music bands of various genres, Paolo took every available opportunity and the best from every influence.
But at the end, it's the Electronic Music that captures him and thus it borns the desire to create his own sounds. The first faders and first knobs arrive into his home.

From Dancefloor to Breakbeat and Techno, through the Trip Hop and Downtempo to name but only a few, the first vinyls of Minimal arrived (the ones Jampy used to call "air").
Today, Paolo focuses on electronic music, the real one, the one played and made with synths.....you know, black keys and white keys, knobs and effects, a.d.s.r.....the one made of those particles of sounds and glitches that involve his soul.

"the perfect beat comes into your brain, shakes your soul and shows itself with a smile"

Creating my own roadshow for the sake of pleasing life.
