Muvaland Vol. 2

Lite Werk

Losing your mind in the brainforest at night. Scratching out ancient signs in the undergrowth. Hitting panic mode in an old railway tunnel. Running topless through the trees with camo-dirt smeared on your face. This is what it sounds like.

A collective effort from a vital scene in Kampala, KIKOMMANDO takes its name from Ugandan street food of flat bread and beans. As a ‘food of soldiers’ offering maximum energy for minimum funds, the eponymous mixtape, video series and book project is an equally nourishing and ambitious proposition. It all began in the East African summer of 2018, during a two-month residency at the Nyege Nyege label and collective’s villa, in collaboration with their sublabel Hakuna Kulala. Producer and PAN artist Simone Trabucchi (aka STILL) opened the door to his temporary studio in the city and a crucial cross-cultural collaboration was born.

“The intention was to record as much as possible,” Trabucchi says about KIKOMMANDO’s musical showcase of eight Kampala-based artists, coming from the spectrum of musical influences, crossing trap, drill, cut ups, kuduro, electro, smooth jams—the list goes on. In creating a sonic space to support the expression of its featured singers, poets and emcees, the mixtape ties countless styles and flows into a single snapshot of a particular part of the Kampala music scene, at a particular point in time. The invective of rapper and street legend Blaq Bandana’s “Nkwaata” is laid over a spare and brooding ambient. Kampala Unit trumpet player and first-time singer, Florence, rolls a thick melodic texture through the organic clicks, knocks and atmospherics of “Bae Tasanze”. Jahcity’s unique lyricism combines a personal take on traditional music and soulful-reggae with a jerky, wobbly collection of drops and donks.

Meanwhile, Ecko Bazz applies his grimey vocals and rhythmic, introspective words to lead single ‘Ntabala (Rolex Riddim) at a particularly pertinent moment of self-reflection. “I was trying to listen to the voice inside myself and wanted to achieve a higher level of understanding of things, life,” he says about the themes that he felt inspired to explore with Trabucchi at the recording desk. The accompanying video, shot on a rooftop in the Kampala neighborhood of Ggaba, is one of a series of slick and high-definition films complementing each one of the KIKOMMANDO tracks. These also include contributions from Ugandan emcee and key Hakuna Kulala member Biga Yut, don dada of the GabaGaza gang Swordman Kitala (with Omutaba on percussion) and South Sudanese poet and singer Winnie Lado.

Also accompanying a ‘visual mixtape’ of moving images for each song on KIKOMMANDO is a recording diary of sorts, where Trabucchi compiles a vibrant collection of pictures, colours and textures reflecting the its heterogeneous sonic palette into a book. Together this multifaceted, interdisciplinary project showcases, what Lamin Fofana’s liner notes describe as, “amazing originality, complexity”, while “embracing dissonance”.

Trabucchi’s personal take on a kind of ‘digital dancehall’ defined the sound of his ground-breaking rumination on Italy’s colonial history on debut STILL album, I, in 2017. KIKOMMANDO is a different proposition entirely, where he finds new ways to complement the personality and skills of its contributors sprung from a constant stream of visitors arriving at the Nyege Nyege Villa’s makeshift studio. “It was a dialogue,” stresses Trabucchi, who has always preferred collaboration as a means to escape branded and stereotypical identities, while creating something new. “I created the musical platform to make the singers confident, and challenged them at the same time. Working together accelerates ideas and reveals that nothing is your invention alone. That’s why KIKOMMANDO is a mixtape to me, and not an album.”

The mixtape is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring artwork by NMR. Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 11 & 12 mixed by Ville Haimala. Tracks 5, 6 & 8 mixed by Lorenzo Dal Ri.

Lyrics:

20 floors breaking sky
Can’t outrun my nikes
Said I like her too
She said I like it like that 


And Jewels dance in the light baby
How you gonna go just to make me crazy
I could get it on the low if you make me see
I can be your life and you could be free

Step into the mood where you coming from
Serving sauvignon blanc that she came here with
My girl the pretty black stunner, baby give me something
Houdini gone, then we off, fuck waiting for it

Yeah this a bootleg cut let’s see your license!!
Out in paradise, man don’t need your violence
Guess it’s the same for me, cracks in your diamonds
Guess it’s the same for me, heart made of nylon 
Ain’t no man that can put me in the gutter
Ain’t a man that can tell me how I got up
Amsterdam I  got that bust down, looking 1 up
Made my father proud, I’m living for my brother


20 floors breaking sky
Can’t outrun my nikes
Said I like her too
She said I like it like that 

What’s her what’s her name, what’s her name
What’s her what’s her name, what’s her name
What’s her name, what’s her name
Boys on high, we don’t fly 
Put that bezel to the moon
Jewels dance in the light

And Jewels dance in the light baby
How you gonna go just to make me crazy
I could get it on the low if you make me see
I could be your life and you could be free


Over thinker
Hit esc
Sky blue, new day 
We some digital kids, concreted to the street
7 40 7 flight
Save a seat for me
Save a seat for my mother 
Save a seat for my G’s 
It’s a feeling that I get when the sun rises
It’s a feeling, won’t forget!
Can’t civilise this
Get money on my own
In that Chevy you ain’t own
Getting popping them man’s fake 
Ain’t no diamonds in their Jewels

Spent my fourth time inside 
I push your car until it’s in sight 
You’re all alone at midnight
You wanna save it for the next time

And Jewels dance in the light baby
How you gonna go just to make me crazy
I could get it on the low when you make me see
I could be your life and you could be free


What’s her what’s her name, what’s her name
What’s her What’s her name, what’s her name
What’s her name, what’s her name
Boys on high, we don’t fly 
Put that bezel to the moon
Jewels dance in the light

On February 6th, 2021, over 800 unique artists came together to create a single charity compilation in 24 hours. Taking advantage of the fact that this would be the only FORM All Nighter event of the year, each participant went all-out. 45 of the most stellar tracks were hand-picked to create an album that’s phenomenal front-to-back— from math rock, to gritty electronic, to chiptune.

All Nighter Vol. 6 is a reflection of creativity, teamwork, and the sleepless delusion that comes with staying up all night— but most of all, it’s a reflection of our community. We couldn't ask for a better one.

All profits from All Nighter Vol. 6 will be donated to Prevent Child Abuse America.
