Never Normal Records & ANTI-MASS are excited to announce their collaborative compilation, Gukuba, born out of 12 months of sound exchanges, field recordings, & online listening sessions between East African and Afro-Diasporic artists and producers indigenous to the USA.
This compilation focuses on new approaches to dance, sound and rhythms between Africa and the global Black Diaspora.
There are a myriad of sonic influences in this body of work, from Techno, to Acholi Electronic, to Footwork and more. The music of Gukuba spans the sonic stories and cultural backgrounds of the 10 collaborators featured on the project.
Featured collaborators include rising artists Authentically Plastic, Turkana and Nsasi (ANTI-MASS/ Uganda) Tayhana (NAAFI) and Suzi Analogue, Heavee, NO EYES, Safiyahh, Queens D. Light and Elevation (Never Normal Soundsystem/ USA- Worldwide).

May is DEMF (Movement) in Detroit, and we’re bringing the celebration home with AK. Playing Movement this upcoming weekend—along with the Detroit staple event Blueprint—AK takes a beat to navigate her extensive catalogue outside of the dance floor, and honor the legacies from which it comes.

We've paired AK’s mix with a drawing from Do Ho Suh, whose work often explores interiors, bodies, and cultures as sites of memory, family, and memorial. His work is some of our favorite, as it often flips colonialism and patriarchy on their heads—see his piece we pulled for AK’s mix, ScaledBehaviour_drawing(InvertedMonument_1.28.1)-B.

If you dig Suh’s work, we recommend this short film on him: https://art21.org/artist/do-ho-suh/

Fresh from playing Wembley Arena last night, we have dream beach at Voices for a cool Sunday bed of ambient selections, along with some ambient club the Detroit-based producer and musician has made, with some classic house and disco cuts. He’s in London one extra night to play Neoprene Genie presents PUB! between 20.00 and 22.00 tonight.

Addison Groove Presents: Anna Morgan b2b Dream Beach - 22 December 2024

Simply one of the best mixed house sets you'll ever here.  This was always pumping in the V Dub!  Originally it started with the hip hop section I've put it at the end.
