Next in the series we welcome Zambian DJ and producer SHE Spells Doom.

SHE Spells Doom is an Electronic music project created by Zambian producer, Wamya Tembo. It draws inspiration from a number of his influences, such as: 80s Sci-Fi/Horror movies, (Congolese) Rhumba/Soukous, Gqom and early 2000s Rap production, which he mixes with House and Techno elements he picked up from time living in Geneva, Switzerland. His style can best be described as hazy but driving - usually seeking to create a visceral atmosphere without neglecting the dancefloor by combining trademark airy synth-lines with heavy drum programming. The past few years have seen him release work on labels such as Creme Records, Monstart, Sweat Equity, HTS, All Centre and Tresor. He has also dabbled in contemporary art projects - FELTWORLD, his art installation which was exhibited at BKhz Studio & Gallery in Johannesburg, South Africa during a residency with the Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival in 2019 and in 2021 he scored "Nobody Is Okay" - a collaborative art installation between Swiss artist, Andy Storchenegger + Zambian poet/writer, Marita Banda - on show at Grosse Biennale 2021 and in 2022 at the National Art Gallery in Livingstone, Zambia.

For this mix, I tried to capture the frantic energy of the kind of week I was having when I made this mix. 
Felt a bit all over the place but mostly excited about a few changes coming up, musically + w/ life in general.
Expect lots of tempo switches, swooshes + rushing drums from some new favourites + artists who have inspired me/the S.S.D. project up till this point.
