From 16 June to 6 July 2025, Nandele Maguni will be at ICST for his Studio Residency.
Nandele Maguni is a prominent Mozambican producer, beatmaker, and DJ known for shaping the modernity of Mozambique into music through his experimental fusion of trip-hop, dubstep, techno, and the traditional Makonde rhythms of Northern Mozambique. His work defies Western conventions of electronic music, instead creating hypnotic, rhythmically rich tracks that resonate deeply within Mozambique's burgeoning alternative music scene.
Nandele's innovative approach extends beyond production into nurturing emerging talent within the local music community. His notable releases include the "FF EP" on Cotch International and "Plafonddeinst," a cassette release on Already Dead Tapes, which sold out, reflecting his growing global influence. His collaborations span internationally, including work with Tresor Berlin, where he contributes to techno compilations alongside pioneers like Jeff Mills.
Through his tireless commitment to both his art and community, Nandele has established himself as a leading figure in African electronic music, transforming Mozambique’s soundscape while supporting the next generation of artists. Visit Nandele Maguni's Instagram for more information.
