Nkisi

Nkisi makes a statement with her music, but also nurtures, inspires, comforts, and energises, creating an infinity of evolving non-conforming possibilities for her creative pursuits. She established herself in London’s underground scene via her vivid club-fuelled tracks, demanding full attention with exhilarating energy when heard. Her music evoking references from gabber, doomcore and African club, to the sonic spirals of sci-fi and 1970s Italian horror films.

Nkisi’s music and artistic projects are intimate, her inspirations ever-layered in her productions yet with a careful conscious to harmonise each indistinct thread. Her productions reflect deeply on these influences also and provide a sound that is equally relentless and evocative.

Following on from last year's 'The Dark Orchestra' EP on Arcola and a string of exhilarating self released
trax, we are finally being given the gift of a much anticipated full length from Nkisi. '7 Directions', which
comes out via Lee Gamble's incisive UIQ imprint, delivers Nkisi's unique frenetic energy in only the way she
can create it. Deeply rooted in the teachings of African Cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo, most notably those
of Kongo scholar Dr Kimbwandende Kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau, the album takes us on a journey through Nkisi's signature percussive patterns which not only inspires the listener to move but to know more.
