Crack Mix 546: Nídia

DJ Sisso and Maiko – live from the Third Space stage at Boiler Room Festival Berlin, curated by KAMVA Collective. Presented by Beefeater.

DJ Sisso and Maiko | Boiler Room Festival Berlin: Third Space

An exclusive mix of unreleased material from one of club music's limitless innovators: DJ Nigga Fox, aka Rogério Brandão, is a key figure amongst the crew of DJs and producers who have emerged from Lisbon's Angolan diaspora; they are responsible for the kinetic, pioneering current of sound that truly represents a time, a place, and a culture-in-the-making. This mix comes ahead of Rogério's new LP, which will be released on Príncipe on March 15th.

"This set is particularly special for me because I used a few (all unreleased) tracks produced by my brother, Mano Jio, the person that gave me a lot of support and strength to keep doing the thing I love most. Music has no rules." - DJ Nigga Fox

Even amongst his peers, Nigga Fox's timbre is unmistakable. Often described as an amalgamation of kuduro, afro-house, Angolan deep, and tarraxinha, Rogério's unique spin on the batida sound gets more specific because of his love of techno. The opening track, “Má Rotina”, is a new song from his upcoming album, but the calm ambience is a feint; this mix highlights his penchant for weaving warped beats and hypnotic hooks into something sensual and serpentine. Nigga Fox manages to achieve that rarest of combinations: being original and being good.  

As a language, this music is fresh, informed by the compression of global culture, the texture of digital music software, and the intertwined threads of colonial history. The trademark blend of frenzied polyrhythms— a rollercoaster of inversions, switchbacks, and corkscrews—and pulsing melodies—delirious, sinister, elemental—is fully present, but grand piano refrains and pastoral synth-scapes expand Rogério's musical world in new directions: "Any comparison in mind? Flip through history books and you won't find this chapter."

On the 305th episode of SceneNoise’s Select series, we present Brooklyn-based Alexandria-born selector Solofan, a resident and the host of El Commodino show on Radio Flouka. Having spent years immersed in the underground scene in Berlin and Brooklyn, Solfan developed his own signature sound where he experiments with free-form mixes that unravel like symphonies. 

His Select set is a high-energy mixture of early EBM, acid house, IDM and hardcore, featuring Tarab influences, African polyrhythms, and deep club cuts, intermingled with tunes by the likes of Trinity Magas and Assassins of Youth.

A mix beamed in from the future by singeli's young star.

If singeli has a new era, DJ Travella is its leading light. At just 23 years old, the Tanzanian producer is pushing the genre into fast, frenetic and unmistakably futuristic territory. And while there aren't too many entries in the RA Podcast's 20-year history where you can say, "this has no parallel whatsoever," RA.984 shatters that assumption in style.

Singeli emerged from Dar es Salaam's underground in the early '00s, forged from limited resources and unlimited creativity. Producers looped and sped up taarab instrumentals using basic software like Virtual DJ, creating a sound that was chaotic, witty and lightning fast. With support from local studios like Sisso and Pamoja, singeli took root as the breakneck pulse of Tanzanian youth culture.

Travella—real name Hamadi Hassani—came up outside that infrastructure. He began producing music aged ten, self-taught and internet-savvy. By 2022, he was touring Europe with Kampala-based collective Nyege Nyege and gaining global attention for a distinct style he's dubbed "cyber-singeli." 

Like gabber, hardcore and jungle before it, singeli is unapologetically go hard or go home. It's unique and utterly infectious. After all, what could possibly connect pop provocateur Arca to the late president of Tanzania? Not much—except singeli. 

Travella's RA Podcast is a white-knuckle ride through this blistering sonic universe. It's wild and joyful yet controlled—a window into one of the most exciting young minds in global club music.
