Some of my favourite releases on the Blue Tapes label have featured the Ugandan vocalist Swordman Kitala: check out, for instance, this split release, also featuring Cattarh Nisin and 6v9id.
Kitala was part of the Nyege Nyege collective and has collaborated with legends like DJ Scotch Egg and MC Yallah, among others. If you like categories, you can place him on a spectrum between dancehall and techno with much going on in between. If you like categories, he's probably someone you'll love.
In my show this month, I feature a track from his 2020 EP released by Luton's Blip Discs, available here.
A reminder that you can hear the anniversary show, featuring Swordman Kitala and many of my other favourites from the last twenty years, here.
