The immense musical fertility fostered by the African diaspora as one of the main factors that nurtured not only the appearance, but the growth and development of modern club music is something fairly known but often overlooked. What should be glaringly evident is usually downplayed as either an understatement that should not be overly celebrated or as a detail unworthy of being widely discussed. But against this obscurantist complacency there is always some conscious and passionate effort to unveil the wonders of our musical ancestry and share its colourful abundance, usually by some aficionado whose devotion and generosity makes all the difference to all of us. Such is the case of Kbulom's impressive personal endeavour, taking it as both an heuristic mission and artistic expression, since they are inextricably roots of identity and source of creativity. This is much of what is factored into the dauntless and boundless mixes consistently put together by this young selector hailing from Belo Horizonte and exactly what is offered here in this episode, much to our delight.

Without people like Cashu (@carol-schutzer), São Paulo’s queer community wouldn't be thriving in the way that it is. The Mamba Negra label collective, party and label co-founder has been working tirelessly to provide safe spaces, creative outlets and raise funds for the LGBTQIA+ community for many years. She closely intertwines politics and dancing at events that reclaim urban spaces and now enjoys an international DJ diary that sees her mixing up breaks, techno, dancehall and electro across Amsterdam, Berlin, and places like our own Dekmantel Selectors.

She takes us on a similarly whirlwind tour with this week's mix, including some unreleased gems. It's a full-throttle party selection that fires through several house, club and techno rhythms - some bounce on big bass, some are twisted with raw percussion and some get stripped back to loopy drums and trippy sound designs. These global beats from the likes of DJ Wawa, Nick León, and Lewis Lowe add up to a colourful carnival atmosphere that sounds even better when the sun is shining.

LIVE @ FAW 2025.04.04

Probs my fourth time ever playing techno, and it felt juicy to be given the trust to close the main room at Zero Chill, NYC's hottest function. After nearly 20 years of DJing—mostly known for house, sometimes ambient—it was a thrill to stretch into a harder, faster prime-time slot for a massive, raging warehouse. And since it was Pride, we had to oblige with a disco-flavored last hour to honor our ancestors.

I’ve never had so many people DM me after a set, and it’s got me inspired to keep exploring this direction in the techno landscape.

Special thanks to my dears Dirty Daddy Don and Physical Therapy for lacing me with some tracks for the night. It takes a village.
