The Sound of African Experimental

"The Sound of African Experimental" is an eclectic journey through the innovative and boundary-pushing sounds coming out of Africa. This playlist captures the essence of experimentation with tracks like KMRU's "Space of Uncertainty" and "Well," which offer ambient soundscapes that draw the listener into a meditative state. Dive into the abstract with HHY & The Kampala Unit's "Lithium Blast" and "Bursting Thru the Gates," where complex rhythms and electronic elements collide.

Gqom’s raw energy is vividly represented by Menzi's "Gqom Tera - ft. Ecko Bazz" and "Minimal Surge," while the dark, industrial tones of Duma's "Angels and the Abysses" and "Uganda with Sam" create an intense listening experience. This playlist also highlights the fusion of traditional African sounds with contemporary electronic beats, showcased in Afrorack's "Cowbell" and "Osc," as well as Ethiopian Records' "Megbiya (do you believe in things you don't see) / መግቢያ (ማመን)." Whether exploring metal-infused experimentalism in Metal Preyers’ tracks or the multi-layered sonic textures of Tropikal Camel’s offerings, "The Sound of African Experimental" is a bold testament to the continent’s vibrant and diverse musical experimentation.
