UP+OUT joins fast tempos + far-away dancefloors with rapid-fire guest mixes. Each episode features guest DJs’ 20-minute workout mixes that hang on the higher side of 160 beats per minute.
For 2020’s first episode, we feature two rising artists who will be performing at CTM Festival [https://www.facebook.com/events/736518683430240/] in Berlin. First up is a sultry bass set from Somali selecta, Hibotep [https://soundcloud.com/hibo-afrokush-thenomad], a core member of the Nyege Nyege [https://www.facebook.com/NyegeNyegeFestival/] collective championing safe spaces on Kampala’s underground dancefloors. Next we have a Dark Koplo [https://soundcloud.com/yesnowave/ydra] set from cross-genre innovator and multidisciplinary artist Y-DRA [https://www.facebook.com/Y.arienDRA/], hailing from Indonesia. Our host Jamie Palta [https://soundcloud.com/jamiepalta] wraps things up with a mash of angsty footwork and emo dnb to get you through your winter feels.
