FLO’s new mix arrives in the wake of NAKATO, her debut album released October 16 on Hakuna Kulala, the label of Kampala’s Nyege Nyege collective, known for pushing East African sounds into unruly new territories of experimental club music. A DJ, producer, vocalist and trumpeter, FLO spent years as the trumpet-playing half of HHY & The Kampala Unit before stepping forward under her own name. Rooted in Kampala’s brass-band traditions and club culture, her work brings gqom, dancehall, hyperpop, R&B and electro-metal into collision, with little interest in keeping their boundaries intact.
