“Having a place means that you know what a place means...what it means in a storied sense of myth, character and presence but also in an ecological sense... Integrating native consciousness with mythic consciousness” - Gary Synder

"Nairobi’s electronic music scene is quite eclectic, featuring diverse styles of music creating personal narratives by the artists, musicians and producers. This curation features a glimpse of the different styles of music coming out of Nairobi's electronic music scene.

From the sampled based productions of MR.LU* who has been reintroducing old Kenyan traditional folklores and narratives in his electronic production; Barno, who blends ambient with elegant piano sounds; Coco Em’s experimental improvised work and Nabalayo’s ‘Changanya’ style: a modernized folk music form that is built on the aesthetics of local folk music in Kenya; to Charles Nyiha’s film-like compositions and M³ live jazz synth improvisations.

The scene is quite diverse in styles and ‘Place: Nairobi’ is only scratches of the surface of what’s happening here. The curation focuses on burgeoning artists exploring different sonic auralities in music production" - KMRU

What is Place:

A non-profit project from New York based label Air Texture, Place: is a location specific electronic music compilation series where all proceeds are donated to a local environmental cause in that place. The goal is to build a global network of music producers bringing important issues to the electronic music community and world at large.

Electronic music is a truly egalitarian, classless, and empowering art form. Producers have emerged from every corner of the globe in recent years, infusing their own ideas, culture and influences into the endless mix.

Let’s highlight more producers than the few who show up on the same lists and parties. Let's promote electronic music as an activist artform by and for the people. An artform that activates, like the great traditions in Detroit, Berlin, Queer Movements, Squat Cultures, and Progressive Politics. Let's work to make Electronic Music Green.
