From his home of Lusaka in Zambia, Wamya Tembo has been cooking up spellbinding sounds under the moniker SHE Spells Doom.

Drawing from disparate influences and styles, Wamya throws everything from Congolese Rhumba, Gqom, noughties rap and house and techno into the pot, fusing these with his love of 80s Horror and Sci-fi movies, in particular the '86 film 'Big Trouble in Little China', which he's taken inspiration from for a huge collection of his tracks.

These productions have made their way to labels like Tresor, Car Crash Set, Creaked Records and London's All Centre, the home of his most recent record: the mindmelting club-ready 'Rudnick'. He applies this rhythmic and cerebral style to his DJ sets too; the drumwork is heavy and propulsive, the sound design clean and intricate — it's sure to send your body and mind into overdrive. 

Lucky for you lot, that's exactly what's in store today in his Shine A Light On Mix...
