“I made elements of this mix when I was in Luanda, Angola, getting ready for the Venice Biennial, and the sound that was coming out of all the clubs and soundsystems was “Kuduru” a kind of relentlessly fast minimalist rhythm that combines hiphop and techno. I like to think of this mix as a homage to Ben Okri’s novels and the classic works of Amos Tutuola. William Gibson said back in the ancient early 90’s: The future is already here, it’s unevenly distributed. I like to think that the mix is about the future of Africa and its global diaspora as much as it is about the past.

History is never silent, it reminds us again and again and again, that we live its presence in every part of our life every day. The mix is an art project that accompanies my installation at the Venice Biennial Africa Pavilion.” – from the artist
