Nihiloxica

Uganda’s Nihiloxica will perform in Bratislava’s A4 on October 28, 2023.

Nihiloxica is a project that harnesses the full force of the ancient Bugandan drumming tradition of Uganda and focuses it on the contemporary dance floor through a dark lens of techno sensibility.

Formed by UK musicians Spooky-J and PQ and members of the Nilotika Cultural Ensemble, incubated in Kampala by acclaimed label Nyege Nyege Tapes, the cross-continental band explores the common ground between techno and tradition, a conversation between two cultures with a common aim: to make people dance. They’ve been tearing apart dance floors and festivals across the world with an at once transcendental and earth-shattering live show.

Second album on Crammed Discs will drop in September 2023.
