Techno is on the map in Rwanda – at least since yesterday.
After the screening of the Techno documentation “Wendekkang/ In A Place Called Techno” at Mamba I played a 4 1/2 DJ/Set to a lovely mixed crowd of native Rwandans, expats and tourists. Starting with African Tribal Tech Rhythms (like from the awesome Beating Heart Music compilations) I turned it more and more Techno.
20hz’s “Capricorn”, DJ Hyperactive’s “Wide Open”, even Emmanuel Top’s “Acid Phase” and all those new tunes I love to spin. (Hey Marcos López, I even dropped Marmion’s “Firechild’ 😜).
Techno just works: People were jacking, freaking, screaming, I would have never expected such a blast of a party.
I ended my set with special Berlin dancehall greetings from Seeed and “Dickes B”, before DJ Gil Low from Kigali would drop more Dancehall and Afrobeat bombs, until the police came and gently closed the party.
Much respect and 1000 thank-yous to Mamba Club, Urban Gorilla Collective and Goethe-Institut Kigali for making this possible.
One love – You rock! ❤️🇷🇼❤️
