Alias:  Nalule (@nalule)
Pronouns:  she / they
Location:  ‘Vancouver, BC, Canada (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) unceded ancestral territories) 

Influences: Yemaya & Oshun, ancestral spiritual practices, my pastoral cattle-herding ancestors (Batooro), The Nile River, bachwezi mysticism , Maasai warriors, esotericism, western red cedars, mossy forest grounds, ferns, rainforests, shrooms, marijuana, black rave culture, UK club genres, Eastcoast club genres, bass music, flow artists, sex workers, healers, shamans, priestesses and indigenous matriarchs.

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: I am the founder of my collective, Neptune7, which currently is a rave series that prioritizes showcasing QTIBIPOC artists who share a mutual affinity for DnB club genres such as : Jungle, Dub, UKG, breakbeat and Footwork in Vancouver,BC. Currently, I am in the process of launching my monthly radio show / record label, Neptune7 Records in the fall at Bside Radio which can be streamed on Twitch. 

My earnest intention with this project, Neptune7, is to create innovative events which blend rave culture with holistic medicine. (I’m currently in college studying Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine with the goal of becoming a registered acupuncturist) In my free time I am learning how to use various flow arts props and learning the art of fire performance. My studies and hobbies have played a tremendous role in driving my passion to creating artistic spaces which incorporate holistic modalities of healing with movement, dance and rave culture as these spaces are all sites of catharsis and wellness.

With this mix Nalule asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
❁ Ugandan LGBTQ Emergency Fund 
https://www.gofundme.com/f/euganda-lgbtq-emergency-fund

In March 2023, Ugandan MP's passed a bill imposing the death penalty for homosexuality. In the run up to the bill's passing, a new wave of anti-gay animus had taken hold. In February, alone more than 110 LGBTQ Ugandans reported incidents including arrests, sexual violence, evictions and public undressing to advocacy group SMUG. The bill further puts LGBTQ people at risk by threatening landlords with imprisonment. 

This fundraiser is run by a group of LGBTQ Ugandans and UK allies from the arts, electronic music and activist community who are rallying to directly support at-risk individuals.  The fund acquired will go directly to those affected, paying for costs such as
- Bail for LGBTQ people inprisoned 
- Relocating to a safer area
- Emergency accommodation costs
- Legal and medical fees 
- Visa and transportation costs for those leaving the country 

❁ Kílala Lelum (Urban Indigenous Health and Healing Cooperative) is a health center borne out a desire to partner Indigenous Elders with group an experience group of inner-city physicians, nurses and allied health professionals to go beyond the traditional clinical care by providing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual care to Indigenous  communities within Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Kílala Lelum is based on a holistic and culturally-based health center which provides dignified care which is Indigenous-focused and Elder-led and trauma-informed.

Sri Lanka-based rising talent Jadon Fonka makes a striking debut on the revered MNL imprint with his three-track EP, Hoffmann's Journey. Showcasing a fresh and distinctive voice in the progressive house landscape, Fonka delivers a trio of immersive tracks: Hoffmann's Journey, Digital Fragments, and Letters By The Lover.

Each piece is anchored by irresistibly infectious grooves and enriched with delightfully imaginative studio flourishes that reveal Fonka's playful, adventurous spirit. His sound design feels inventive without ever losing its emotional or rhythmic center, offering a welcome twist in a genre that often leans into the familiar. Hoffmann's Journey EP is not just a strong label debut, it's a statement of intent from an artist with a compelling creative vision and a promising future.

Bertie is an Australian DJ, Producer, Radio Host and Party Planner who traverses the spectrum of groove. Her sets explore a signature mix of disco, house, acid, prog, and when the mood is right, deeper and darker sounds.

Her musical journeys are exactly that; a guided exploration from start to finish. A fusion of percussive beats, acidic motifs, and euphoric highlights. The result is a synergistically uplifting experience designed to get you up and moving and leave you wanting more.

In 2022 Bertie brought this cultivated sound into the art of music production, releasing ‘Pillow Queen via Phenomena Records, then in 2024 her debut EP ‘Carabiner’ on the same label – four punchy, euphoric house tracks inspired by her queer identity, alongside a remix from Toronto’s Ciel.

She also co-founded Club Aqueous, an event series prioritising underrepresented local and international artists, and shares her ever-expanding collection of laid back groovers via her show ‘Cup of Bertea’ on Skylab Radio.

With an impressive array of festivals already under her belt (Pitch Music & Arts, Strawberry Fields, Sugar Mountain, Gaytimes, Daybreak, Wonder Mountain and Beyond the Valley), support slots for an impressive array of international artists (Black Coffee, Bradley Zero, Cormac, CC:DISCO, Denis Sulta, DJ Boring, fka.m4a, Kornél Kovács, Leon Vynehall, Patrick Holland, rRoxymore), and a recent Australian tour under her belt, it’s clear Bertie’s just getting started.

Bertie respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which she works and performs today, and that sovereignty has never been ceded. She pays her respects to Elders past, and present. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
