Artist Talk | Nkisi
London based Nkisi is known for her intense, powerful club tracks that are equally influenced by African polyrhythms, hardcore techno, and '70s Italian horror films. As a musician and visual artist, she is one of the co-founders of NON Worldwide, a collective of experimental artists from across the African diaspora.
Since her first EP in 2014 on Doomcore, Nkisi has gone on to release on esteemed labels like Warp's Arcola imprint and Lee Gamble's UIQ, which released her critically acclaimed debut LP, 7 Directions, in 2019.
Nkisi sat down with Raj Chaudhuri at Corsica Studios for an in depth conversation about her creative process.
