#NsasiJuiced will give listeners at least something of everything with mixes from my self, my community and the scene from Kampala and beyond.
Nsasi is known for their agile style of playing. This Enfant Terrible of the deeply conservative, picturesque town of Jinja, Uganda, earned an early reputation for blunt refusal of authority. Once excommunicated from a seminary in his childhood, Nsasi looked to their icon, the scandalous 1980s pop sensation; Tshala Mwana, as an inspiration for how to live & perform dangerously. Nsasi’s daring sound embodies both a nostalgia for traditional rhythms/sound palettes, and an affinity for hyper-modern, disruptive compositions. Making jumps between disparate sounds is a dominant part of Nsasi’s repertoire, which propels the listener through drastically different tempos & genres. This creates an open space of chances, in which skittered fluxes of acid could collide with Kiganda percussion, or with East African Trap. A fluid, compelling style.
