Pure, heavy, unfiltered talent🔥

when you’re an absolute powerhouse producer spinning your some of your own heavy, custom-built tracks, you’re just in a completely different league🔥

We brought @_i.am.a.goddess out to Kampala for a special set @villagekla

Watching her command the room with her gqom set and a live drummer — @kigongo_eric was something unforgettable💚

A massive thank you to our @nyegenyegefest family for making this possible. From our collective’s debut at Nyege Nyege 10th Anniversary to bringing heavy-hitters like Goddess into the Kampala scene, this pipeline keeps growing🙏🏾🇺🇬🇰🇪✨

We’re bringing this one back 🔊

Last year at @nyegenyegefest , the @skateandsound_collective X @melaningalsnpals brought our sound to Uganda and these moments still feel as good as they did that day🔥🔥

Our DJs took over the decks, the crowd showed up, and what started as a collaboration between skate, sound and community became one of our favourite moments of 2025💚

This set is a little reminder of what happens when we create space for our communities to show up fully.

Big love to the Nyege Nyege team for giving us the space to build, play and connect 🇺🇬💚
