Roots Reggae and Dancehall Version

A [collectively run] cooperative music and technology institute.

Realm of mist is a space for collaborative musical innovation. Musicians come here to work and learn together. Music producers and sound engineers also work with musicians here to enhance their skills and tracks. We are creating a network of highly skilled music professionals who can collaborate and support other international artists.

We support the development of the space entirely through volunteering. We need your support to develop our infrastructure, farm, and equipment to a stage where we can initiate the operations of the space.

Realm of Mist institute works closely with the online event management portal MapJam.co.ke. R.O.M. supports MapJam’s initiatives by providing the equipment and space for the production of content involved with MapJam.

We are an open collaboration learning institute. What we do is bring together musicians to teach each other by collaboratively executing audio projects.

The BREADSTEPPAS is a Hip-Hop and Reggae group formed in 2015 in Tigoni, Kenya. Primarily they were represented as a reggae band composed of JJSNWPRD and Ra Ny’Kang.  In 2016 they joined forces with legendary producer Mumo the Sub-Saharan and began work composing music for a Bollywood movie produced in Kenya. This led to a myriad of collaborations with local musicians and rappers including Sharama; Kimya; King Cush; Alvarez Anwar; and Fox Elijah amongst others. This collaborative work formed the foundation of the collective association of artists now known as the Breadsteppas - and the philosophy of Breadstepping. Breadstepping is a quick manoeuvre to counteract the effects of hunger by taking half a loaf of bread and crushing it down into one sandwich.

         Bread = food (mkate)
A movement colliding poetry with music. 
                  Bread = $

Mudogo - vocals, beats
Ny’Kang - bass/vox
Alvarez - guitar
Mumo - arrangement/rap
JJSNWLPRD - beats/synth/vox
