An experimental wave is sweeping across East Africa, and the electronic producer Slikback is riding roughshod with his idiosyncratic rhythms full of bleeps and glitches. He follows his critically-acclaimed debut EP, Lasakaneku, with a second collection of spacey ear-benders. Tomo finds the Kenyan DJ delving into atypical club sounds, with six tracks informed by pulsating beats and styles such as grime, IDM, trap and footwork. It’s a journey that adds to his stature as an innovator with a sparkling future.
