Authentically Plastic鈥檚 Mixtape

Following Le Guess Who festival in Utrecht, Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a mixtape by one of the performers - Authentically Plastic of Ugandan dance collective Nyege Nyege.

Following her return from Le Guess Who Festival in Utrecht, Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a mixtape from one of the performers - Authentically Plastic of the Ugandan dance collective Nyege Nyege. Celebrating outsider music from around Uganda and beyond, Nyege Nyege put an emphasis on experimental club music and extreme electronics. Following their set at the Hakuna Kulala club night at Le Guess Who this weekend, the DJ and producer Authentically Plastic takes over mixtape duties for Late Junction.

With influences including dancehall, Afrofuturism and acid techno, Authentically Plastic鈥檚 sound is densely layered and high energy, having been honed at the Kampala club night they run with their queer dance collective ANTI-MASS. Their mixtape for Late Junction features selections from South African kwaito music, recordings of royal court music from the kingdom of Buganda and plenty of heavy rhythms from the Nyege Nyege scene.

Elsewhere in the show Jennifer shares spoken word from American visual artist Alice Knowles, there鈥檚 DIY dub-influenced sounds from singer Brenda Ray and a cover of The Police from the Western Sahel courtesy of musician Hamadth Kah.
